hi guys. is there anywhere i can recable my esw9?

Thanks in advance

try asking if ppl do it here, because urs is non removable cable not sure about recabling services in sg

 

[porcu]

yes, problem is the non-replaceable cable.

 

[frizee]

its hard to monitor their stocks de leh, but sound decent if these are the first version. last time i bought a few of this to keep in bag so always have spare earphones available. heard the newer versions got quite significant improvement.

Ya i see Gold one always OOS, only have Silver...

How abou this: Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro

And the other model from Xiao Mi: Link

 

[Toast A La Plunger]

Rig: samsuck phone
Usage: Just music

File formats used: Either FLAC or mp3 V0

Genre of music: Math, indie rock and alt rock most, occasionally acoustic/jazz/lounge/bossa nova/electronic/hip hop.

Headphones/ earphones: earphones? Not sure what's the difference between IEMs and earphones

Other requirements: Don't break or fall out easily! Not planning to exercise with them or anything but I obviously don't want them to fall out. Preferably something I can pick up before CNY ends because I'm stuck without earphones

previously used: klipsch image s4, lousy china beats (lasted me 3 years )

Budget: <$100

Eyeing the Creative EP630 after reading the guide but I want to see whether I can get anything better at a higher budget. Lazada also offers the CX 300 II for $35 which seems too good to be true (fake).

Thanks!

Using it for quite long so trying to see if I can get an upgrade

Sent from LGE LG-F600K using GAGT

Hmm, should just stick with it and wait for the launch of the new Dunu IEMs (which look to be rather good)
Here's the link for some info - http://www.head-fi.org/t/780630/dun...e-22nd-beijing-international-hi-fi-exhibition
Hard to beat the Dunu lineup at this price range

Anything below $200 is definitely a downgrade from Dunu-1000, not to say $100...
If you are looking for backup IEMs, just get Xiaomi pistons. Cheap and good.

- File format used in your source (mp3)
- Genre of music you listen to (Don't know)
- Headphone / earphone type (Noise-Cancelling Headphone)
- Other requirements (if any) (NA)
- Budget (Around the same pricing of $229 During Show time) Comparable around same range & Pricing.
