mesab0ogie 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 URGH!!!! In a moment of sheer stupidity and carelessness, i ended up ripping the cord of my iem, a Westone Um1. the thing was hanging out of my pocket and i got it hooked on something. i felt a thug and poof, i became a "proud" owner of a now useless Um1 which i worked so hard for to get. now that the story telling of my stupidity is over, i need help. anyone know if anything can be salvaged? like can the cord be changed? the iems are in perfect condition, just with ripped cords. its ripped at the Y-junction. if anyone knows how to fix this problem do tell me. thx alot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dragonboy Report post Posted January 3, 2008 The um-1 are pretty sensitive earphones. I hope u won't be picking more than you should after your repair. If the charge isn't too high, you could give it a try. Anyway it's already dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
