Here’s an idea. Just give the “buds” the ability to be opened, like a hatch door in the back. Then you could simply solder in any wire you want.

I own a pair of Sleek Audio SA1 headphones, which are rather similar to this design. Wooden phones, replaceable cable. Problem is, their build quality sucks; I’ve been through 3 cables in a year, always fraying in the same place. (The 3.5mm jack.) If IRONBUDS can pull off headphones that are high quality and not terribly ugly, I’ll be interested. Considering that these folks are “manufacturing and design guys”, I’m incredibly surprised to see how ugly and full of failure points the prototypes are.

Modularity means nothing compared to audio quality. If they are not acoustically better than Senhizer CX880′s they are just a fashon item.

Honestly, I would prefer they make a set of earbuds that replicate the response of a giant set of headphones instead of something pretty.

Yes, even more parts to lose!

The ability to replace the driver is a good idea, though. Everything else is only contributing to signal loss from all the connections.
