    Guys,

    I'm considering a new pair if Shure SE215's to replace my old Shure 115's

    the 115's had a short cord and a modular longer cable that plugged into it.

    the was well handy if you use a BT remote (clipped to collar) when out running

    of course the new SE215's have a long cord :(

    any idea where in Dublin I could go to get the cord re-terminated to the length I want?

    I'm sure there's loads of Audio places around that could do it but I'm not familiar with any - suggestions?

    cheers eske

    Audiophiles? Any ideas? Where would you go to get headphone cables shortened in Dublin?

    I posted a thread here about what needs to be done when replacing a headphone jack. It's essentially the same process for shortening a cable. It's not the easiest thing to do and you'd be wise to practice on a cheap headphones before starting on expensive headphones.

    Tbh I'd think you're better off looking at cable management rather than something potentially destructive or detrimental to sound quality. Look for something to carefully wrap them around to pick up any excess slack, or use some twist plastic ties. If you want to attach the bundle to your person you could use a mini bulldog clip.

    you can use this method to shorten your earphones. Just start at point where you want to shorten and wrap towards jack connector.

    It's actually better to use figure of 8 wrapping around your fingers rather than just wrapping around as in video (untangles bettter).

    I'm wrapping the cord as suggested

    but it kinda looks ridiculous when the bluetooth remote is clipped to my collar and there's a bunch of wrapped cord hanging under my chin

    I'm still tempted to get the cord shortened - preferably by someone who knows what they're doing

    other than that my new shure se215 are the dogs bollocks
