No joke, this is a Shure e500, but it's ripped off and remoulded into custom moulds with UE replaceable cables. Respect and Credits to rlanger of Head-fi.

For a moment, I thought that you got a special new E500. :mellow:

It really costs quite a bit (after the prototype). Will this spark off a IEM customization craze?

Just curious: are the UE cables superior to those of the Shures's to warrant a replacement?

They are different cables, you can't use the UE custom cables on universals and vice versa unless you mod the connectors.

That is definitely a superb modification to the e500! Kudos to the Japanese fella who did that.



People call me things like nuts, crazy and insane, I just tell them I am very serious when it comes to my hobbies.

What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

The most important thing in this hobby, sit down with a nice drink and enjoy the music. =]

Woot, great stuff.

If this guy starts getting all the business, I hope Westone might take some action. They said no when I asked about doing a driver transplant -> custom for my ER6i.

Just to clarify since the topic has went from Custom to Super.fi of Ultimate Ears, are you seeking the Super.fi UE cables?

For the Super.fi cables, the copper cable is no longer available as accessories. The common ones you still can find them is the Sliver-Plated Copper ones.

Please check with Jaben if they still have stocks. ;)
