Default E2c cracks

The housing of my E2c's have a couple cracks in them and I was wondering if this was normal or not. Because if its not then i can send them back under warranty...

Yea, but it's odd since i dont abuse them or anything. They are just in the clear part of the housing and they dont seem to affect the sound at all.

I have the Shure E2C. I have had it for about four months. I do not have any cracks in the cord or the shell of the canalphones themselves. I have never herd of anyone having cracks in the E2C. (they are tough little guys) I belive that you should get in contact with the customer support division of Shure Inc and investigate the posibility of a warrantied replacement.

Just out of curiosity, how large are the cracks in the housing? Has the sonic signiture of them changed at all since the cracks have apeared. Oh yeah, and how did you manage to crack the E2C, its the toughest canalphone I now.
