I like keeping my touch in my pocket. Problem is that the cable on my pk3s is too short. I need something with more cable length. What would work well in this situation? I prefer a bud or something non isolating like the pk3.

Thanks for any help.

The RE0 ships with an extension cable.
You could probably just buy an extension cable, but that might be a bit much if you just want to have it to your pocket. I've never had a problem with 1.25m cables in my pocket, just right for me.

I was looking for an extension cable on the site. Hmmm.

Problem is the cable does not reach when I run it from my pocket up my back. So I am constantly tangling the cable in everything when I lean over. I spilled my teacup the other day b/c of it.

yea i think the best solution would be an extension cable. i'm sure you could find one easily if you just make a post here. Someone must have one that is not being used here. though if you do want to buy a new bud, the pk1 has 6 ft cord whereas the pk3 has a 5 ft cord. but i don't know if you wanna spend that much more just to get a longer cord.

Yeah. I was thinking of just replacing the whole thing. I believe 6 ft would work b/c 5 ft doesn't. Still, there does not appear to be a cable extension for the Pk3.

Right about the PK1, which I find as a worth while upgrade from the PK3 as well as PK2. I on the other hand wouldn't mind that the cable on the PK1 be as short as the PK3. Such a twisted world at times.

The PK1 is a bit more than I want to spend though. Most of my portable listening is podcasts, comedy, sports. Music is mostly out of my desktop rig.

I guess I could email head direct for an extension cable?

If you post in the FS forum someone will likely sell theirs. I know I never used mine when I had the RE0, it stayed nicely coiled up from the factory.

Not a bad idea. I emailed head direct but no reply yet.

What you want is a mini-stereo extension cable, available at any half-serious speaker shop, on- or offline.
