A sad day
My lightly used 2-3 month old PK2s started sputtering in my ear while jogging this morning. When I got home, I plugged it in to another source and confirmed that there is a fault near the plug - When the wire is jiggled, one of the channels cuts in and out.
Looking around this forum, it doesn't seem that this is an uncommon problem, so I'm wondering:
Has anybody had any PK series headphones that have lasted a long time? The strain relief for the plug doesn't look very good - It's very stiff and doesn't seem to support the solder points to prevent tug damage. If I was to get another pair, I would get some of that shrink tubing that has the glue inside and re-cover the connector and a few millimeters of the cable to reinforce things.
and
Does anybody have contact info where I guy in the USA can contact Yuin about having them replaced? I heard in one thread that an email address for a guy named Fang is available somewhere, but I couldn't seem to find it. On that note, has anybody succeeded in getting a warranty replacement on these? if so, where did you initially buy them from (I got mine new on eBay)?
