The Big Hippo VB Thread (was: EP630 to Hippo VB?)

Let us know how they sound once you've listened longer than the 5 min you stated on irc

Great to see a protection on the cord split, I'm pretty sure that's what caused mine to tank. Still waiting on an email from Jaben, I may reemail them again later tonight.

Hey guys, got recommended these from someone in the forums...had a few questions. Are they good with mp3 files as long as they are higher bit rate? And read somewhere that buying the Comply Foam Tips makes them more comfortable and sound a little better?

Hey everyone, i can't find an old thread about the VBs falling apart, so i just write in here:
Today the right earpiece broke, i was putting it in my ear and it felt...wrong...and i heard some 'scratching' ... and that was the glue that crumbled... so now i can move the front part, i think i could even take it off...
They still work, so it is just the casing... cables are ok...
It is a bit dissappointing however, because i treated them with a LOT of care, hell one can still see the 'original' bends in the cable that they had since unpacking :-/

I bought them in march 2010, so unfortunately there won't be any warranty (?)...

Maybe someone knows how to glue the parts together?

I could just buy some metal glue - BUT: if the wiring inside goes wrong after some time (which it hopefully doesn't), it could be impossible to open it up again, so the glue would have to create just enough adhesion to hold the parts together but not that much it would make the parts inseperable...
