Thanks guys, I will check out Sennheiser's site. I don't think it is still under warranty, and I doubt I could find the receipt (I am really bad about that stuff...it usually goes straight to the garbage

), but maybe they would be willing to fix it for a small charge. It is not really an issue for now though, because I will not be in the states for any length of time until the summer. I will definitely look into it though.
Thanks,
Stu
