Shure EAC64BK Replacement Cable for SE Earphones, 162 cm, Black

I use my headphones almost every day. I bought this cable as a replacement for the original cable 18 months ago. It has been great, so sign of damage yet, and as my Shure 425s are awesome it is as if I am paying a reasonable amount of money for a new pair of headphones. I am very impressed by the longevity of this cable. The headphones I have had since at least 2012 when I raised an RMA for a fault on these. So about three years per cable. And boy do they sound good. BTW I do not look after this cable, it is wound around the iPod, shoved in a pocket or in a backpack. I recommend these wholeheartedly.

The last on lasted 5 years. This one? So far so good.

This cable is a replacement for a replacement...the one with the in line controls for the iphone, which didn't do much other than pause the music on my Android phone, but at the time the original cable was not available. The iphone cable was a bit of a disaster, with the cable sheath splitting/fraying at both buds and at the jack. The cable itself was much thinner than the original.This cable is much sturdier and true to the original thickness of the cable that shipped with the buds initially. Shure have upgraded the cable with a stiff but flexible strip at the connection with the buds, which allows you to mould the cable around your ears and retain this shape, reducing the movement of the cable in this area. This was an occasional problem previously as the cable could slip if you moved your head downwards and had a tendency to irritate and inflame the skin behind the ear. The new sheathing makes inserting the buds easier to insert and more comfortable around the ears. Hopefully this will also lengthen the life of the cable, though I've only had it a month so judgement is reserved.A word of praise for the shipper, EC Crescent, who sent these from the US with free postage, arriving within 5 days of ordering. I believe these are no longer being manufactured by Shure, and would advise grabbing them while they are still available, as the alternatives on offer just ain't up to scratch

Use with my Aonic 4 earphones. Much easier to use than the original cable.

For those wondering, this is the official replacement cable for Shure IEMs. I purchased this replacement cable for my Shure 425 IEMs, as the left cable had split and broken, causing sound loss in my earphones.While I'm happy to have found to have found this official replacement at a fair price, it would be better if the cables could endure a little more wear and tear. While I gig regularly the cable on my original pair has only lasted just over 2 years, which is poor for IEMs costing over £300.

I ordered a cheap copy first time and it was total rubbish. Just buy this and you're sorted, just the same as the original cable.

Bought as a replacement for my other cable that had broken. Good quality, and sound is not compromised. The other cable had lasted a while, so i'm expecting the same from these!

Good quality product from Shure, I like the finish of the cable since generally I’m not a fan of those twisted pair thick MMCX cables, this one is a lot more sleek.Minor gripe about the fit, I think the mouldable over-ear part of the cable is a bit too short for my ears.I use it with the FIIO BTR5 and FH5
