Well it's been a bad week for me among other things.
My IE8 just suffered this (no idea on how to describe it)
![]()
Now I'm really disappointed since I bought this wonderful IE8 just over a year ago. Problem is I somehow misplaced my receipt/warranty card for it :(
As you can see from the picture the wire connecting to the driver has been dislodged exposing the wiring? I apologize for the usage of such terms as I'm not familiar with the internal components of IEM/earpieces. Otherwise the IE8 still works wonderfully just with the threat of the driver snapping off at any moment.
I would like to approach Sennheiser HQ to see whether they are able to replace the wire (No problems with $$)
But otherwise does anyone here have any recommendation on WHERE to do rewiring? And of course which type of wire to recommend ? I definitely am looking for a wire that is able to handle/endure casual usage.
By casual usage I mean just coiling the IE8 around my mp3 and tucking it away in my pocket on an everday basis.
Thank you in advance. Looking forward to seeing a reply from the headphone/earpiece enthusiasts :)
