I agree this is good news! Already the best pair of earphones I've owned, but if something does ever happen to them, I can hope that they're replaced with a pair w/ the detachable cords. As far as I see it, any company that makes detachable cords on their top-tier iems gives all of us on head-fi one more reason to choose their product over the competition, even if its a perk we'll never really need. (not that the UM3X has competition

Kinda funny that I just got my UM3Xs in the mail the other day. Oh well, I'm glad to see removable cables in the future though.

Why didn't they do it for the W3's?

No idea. Maybe because the 3Xs are aimed towards the musician where a lot of movement is involved, they are having to repair a lot more 3Xs than UM3s due to cable problems. This way they can just sell replaceable cables and save money down the road.
