If still got warranty then just go down get it replace.

If no warranty then just reshell it loh. Im waiting for stereo for UM this June to reshell my westone 3.

westone have international warranty?
Can try the 4r also, i think i might hoot 4r instead. I feel that it's more multi-genre then um3x.

Westone no international warranty ba.

Hmmm. reshell ba. Since the wire in Westone 3 cables could not remove. So what i think is that the only way to reshell it. Then at least the cables could be removed. Anything wrong still can change cables.

Sending back to ES all the time is not gonna be an idea.

Secondly i think partly is how you maintain the wires ba.

My old Westone 3 lasted almost a year still surviving before it was stolen

Now my current Westone 3 till date 2 months still ok. But thinking to reshell to UM.

I want to reshell, but I'm a poor student, so
I just sent an email over to westone, trying to see what they can do. plus its only 6 months old, I might reshell after the warranty's over.

I always put them in the case provided after use, and don't really mishandle them. but sad case la

Stolen in unit camp changing room. Although my cabinet is locked but over the night someone broke my locker.

haiz I'm guessing another 3-4 weeks of using my x10 before it comes back. kinda irritated that if this goes on, I might have to send it back every 3 months for a replacement lol

take better care of the cables then, pretty sure sure frequent damage to cable is due to improper or negligent care. they should be able to last at least 1-2 years

No, it's totally another story with the w3 man. The cables for w3 is not the ES cable type, it's 3 wires twisted only, meaning you can just unwind them into 3 seperate wires! I know as I owned a brand new pair before. It only took me 3 months to make the cables look damn cui, whereas I have no issues with any ES cables.

 

[racoiaw]

oh i see. time to change then

Also depends lah. My old westone 3 damn rugged leh. Got one time tio clamp by taxi door. Try forcing to pull out before taxi driver just drive off. Managed to pull it by force. Still survive.

Another time in train. Got lady bag hooked onto my wires. Pull till my westone 3 come out from ear. Still survived.

Every 1 3 5 days go jogging in camp with it. Still ok.

DAP drop a few times. Use wire to pull it prevent the drop. Lol.

But afterall it still works. But when I get to know this forum then I see so many people with cable issues. Then from then I started taking care of it. Realise also that I have been lucky lol.
