Needed: Faulty Klipsch S4 IEM

[Audiodoc]

Last night the left channel of my faithful S4 died. A known problems with these iems. Being a DIYer didn't want to trash it so opened it up. Unfortunately the copper tracks supplying the driver are bad at a place where soldering can't help. Need to replace the tiny button cell sized driver.

I would request anyone on the forum with a similar fault or a dead S4 to help me out with this.

Thanks.

Purchased a hifiman RE-400 to replace it.

It sounds much much better. Exceptional midrange with great low end extension.

Do tell more. Where, when and how much? Did you consider the 600?

Few months ago I remember burning my Klipsch S4 (UK) along with garbage..

Burning phones with garbage? Gotta be the best headphones story I've ever heard. Extreme frustration or mere mistake?

Ohh wait! There is "doc" in your username and you are from Chandigarh too, we have sold one RE-400 to our one customer and he is a Doctor too from Chandigarh so does it mean he is you?

Yes it is me. Purchased last week. Thought you were from Hong Kong however you turned out to be from Gwalior.

I have owned the hifiman HM 601, RE ZERO and like the sound quality of their products.

Sad to hear someone burned his s4. The cable quality is pathetic as none of my iems have died as I take great care. If someone has a faulty one kindly send it to me so l can perform a TRANSPLANT.

The RE400 cost around 7000 including taxes (850).

True, HiFiMan products do not need any introduction when it comes to portable audio.
