Got my Dark Saber a week ago. Left side 2 pin connector fit pretty tightly compared to the right. Tried to swap to using my Littlewhite and pulling the stock cable out pulled out the whole 2 pin socket and some of the shell. Reached out to Moondrop, they told me to contact the seller. Reached out to Apos, they told me to pay $425 for a replacement but could offer a 35% discount.

This is definitely the last plastic IEM I get that doesn't fill most of the shell with resin, and probably the last Apos or Moondrop purchase I make.

Sad to see the Dark Saber got the Empire Raven treatment. I hope you can solve this without having to pay a huge chunk like that

What’s happening with the raven?

extra thin shell lead to weak and brittle, mostly will break the whole shell if you try to pull out the 2pin cable. Jack Vang of Empire ear is doing a recall for the Raven.
