Shure EAC64CL 64 -Inch Detachable Earphone Cable for SE215 SE315 SE425 and SE535 Earphones (Clear)

I am now retiring my Shure headphones. You'd think I treat my headphones very poorly given how often these cable last. The last 2 cables I've had broke within 1 month apart. At £35 a go, this is just unacceptable. Luckily I only have the SE215, so I can begin looking for a replacement. I really like Shure headphones, but I do not like these cables... I've had the SE215s for about 4 years, and I have gone through 6 or 7 cables in total...

Like another reviewer on here I have to replace these every 3 months when the sound starts cutting out. Pathetic given 1) the cost of the SE846 and 2) the replacement cost of these. If I get them replaced by shure it means a 10 day turnaround which is also annoying every time.Really pathetic. It's a shame because the 846s are amazing themselves.

So your Shure IEM cable has finally broken and you're wondering whether or not you should cheap out and buy a 3rd party cable - 1 word: DON'T!My journey with Shure started with a pair of SE315's 4 years ago. I'm now onto the SE535's (which are absolutely PHENOMENAL by the way)I actually bought the pair second hand for £200, I didn't ask the seller how long he'd owned them for (hindsight is a brilliant thing) I wish I had though just so I could get an accurate representation of how good, no great, these cables are!He could've owned them 1/2/3/4+ years before I bought them and all I can say is, I bought them second hand in very early 2018 and have only had to replace the cable once, just over a month ago (March 2020), and it's worth noting despite my shame to admit, I don't look after these very well.They've been thrown around, put in my pockets, sat on, slept on, left around, and the cable just will not break! It even had a little tear in the mould able wire by the left ear for the best part of a year and they just wouldn't stop working, saying that I distinctly remember a point where they actually had stopped working on the wide with the tear for a few days, then one day I just tried them again and poof, they worked! It was like witchcraft!These cables are tough, like really REALLY tough, they transmit audio clearly, and honestly just don't cheap out. I can't stress it enough, this will last you years. It's worth the money (it's not even a lot of money) do yourself and buy themPro tip: If you do replace the cable, keep the old one for reselling purposes as it has the original serial number on, incase you decide to sell them later down the line.

I love the sound of the Shure SE425's but the cables they provide are utter junk - I'm not sure if these are genuine parts or if the overall quality is always this poor, but I've gone through 4 cables in around 18 months - it's mainly the area where the cable joins the plug that develops a break but this time it's a poorly fitting connection on the left bud. For £200 earphones and then £40 cables you'd think they'd fix this and make a durable product - if I could give them no stars I would :(

My original se425 cable lasted a good few years with the only problem being that the still wire by the ear piece snapped. The cable itself didn’t develop any fault and still works now. Before replacing with new shure cable, opted for an after market cable with food reviews, better construction and cheaper price however, straight away, there was an obvious negative difference in sound quality so ended up just going back to the original rather than potenitally wasting time with trial and error. As far as my experience goes, the price has been justified through sound quality. The shure replacement sounds a lot better than the after market cable I tried. Will see if it lasts or whether it lives up to some of the negative reviews due to poor build quality.
