I am just here to complain about my UE custom connectors.

The original cables died so now I am stuck with the Bluetooth and I can't afford the $200 replacement cables.

My first cable died from sweat or some type of twisting at the connection to the left IEM. Took me a while to pull the trigger but I got the black $200 one. I honestly don't think its going to break. Its a shame the first cable they give us is so bad cause I love the sound of my UE11s

Mine did the same thing. In retrospect I could have completely prevented it by putting a small amount of shrink wrap right where the braided cables met the ear connectors.

The worst part is the Bluetooth unit they give us has background noise. 😭 The sound quality I was getting with my FIIO's was amazing.

Edit: To add a little salt, I already had to have my UE CIEMs sent in for repair because the center pin of their connector got pushed in. That already cost me $200+

Soo $400+ out of pocket just because their connectors suck?? Omg hell no.

Yeah the tubes you use to cover solder joints.

It's cheap and pretty thick, useful af. Just google "shrink wire wrap" and pick your flavor. Just wish I had before killing my cables. 😂
