Hey all -

I just picked up some SE425's, but I had some question about replacement cables.

Since I'm planning on driving these mostly from my iPhone, I was looking for cables with a mic / volume control (though my pebble can take care of the volume) but the official cable looks like it's way overpriced for what you get. It looks flimsy as ****, tbh.

So I was wondering if there were any better replacement cables with a mic that you all recommend / where to get them?

Thanks!

You can search for the product title below on Amazon, but I can't say anything in the quality, reviews for it only average to 3 stars. It's $14

Another cheap one for $16 :

thank you thank you!

SHURE thing!
Let me know what you get and how it works out. Also, I reccomend transferring those little gold washers on the stock cable to you new cable if it doesn't come with any. It may help keep them from cutting out.

Update? What did you end up getting? how's the call quality?  I'm looking for a cable with mic for android, but like to have a decent mic.
 
Thanks!

Honestly have still been looking.  I may grab the UE900 cable from logitech, but I'm also looking at (on kickstarter) trinity audio's new headphones.  I'm not looking to get the actual IEMs, but they're making a 'bluetooth lanyard' with mic / remote that has the same connectors as the SE425, and I'm trying to see if I can JUST pledge for that, and use it to make my headphones bluetooth (and have a mic) when I want to

Thanks for the reply.
 
I ended up ordering a couple of cables with Mic from eBay. One by Earmax (about $25). Here:

and one generic (about $14). Here:

Their both been shipped from China and I hope the mic is decent. Their both suppose to work with most Android devices. One even had a switch on the back to switch between Android and iOS controls. 
 
I would love a Bluetooth option. I have actually been looking at the Sony MUC-M1BT1, but is has a few drawbacks. First is usually priced at over $200, has two kinda big attachments (one on each side) tio house the battery and Bluetooth as well as single control button. Worst of all it doesn't include a Mic.
 
 That Trinity Audio BT cable look interesting. Now if i can figure out how to order one or how much it cost. But it seems you can only buy it by backing one of the IEMs. I might do that the IEM with three cables (long, short braided and optional Bluetooth cable) for about $120 is better than $200+ for Sony BT MMCX cable with no mic. There isn't much time left and they are a little short of funding, So I might just pledge and do my part in getting these in production.

That Trinity Audio kickstarter page dosen't mention anything about a mic with the BT cable. So I wonder.... Not nearly as useful if's that's the case.
 
Still, I supported the campaign, though all a really want are the cables (short, long and Bluetooth).
 
UPDATE:
 
I was answered in the comments and their is a mic. Also they just surpassed their funding goals with 10 days to spare.

Having gotten both cables in I can say they both get the job done. I like the EarMax better, it seems high quality and the mic works really well. The controls work with my Galaxy Note 4 excellently. The cable is light and flexible and I find the memory wire that goes around the ear to be better than the stock Shure cable. It a bit shorter than the long Shure cable, but long enough to keep my device in my pocket without issue. I'll try to post pics if anyone is interested.
 
I also got in on the Trinity Audio Kickstarter campaign and look forward to seeing how that turns out.

Thanks, would change the sound quality with Earmax cable?

I haven't noticed any difference from stock to EarMax cable. The Generic one did seem to loose a little Audio quality relative to the others.
