Yes, I'd agree that it's time to RMA them.
What is RMA?

Return Merchandise Authorization. Basically it means obtaining permission to return/replace them from the dealer or manufacturer.
So how much of a difference is there between the E10 and the Atrio MG7? My Atrios are coming in, but I feel like I should also get the E10's.
How's the build quality/cable of the E10?

Build quality is brilliant I think. The aluminium housing really gives it a solid and robust feeling. The cable gets tangled very easily though, and it is terminated with a straight plug rather than an L plug. I can see an imminent cable breakage at the jack. I wish manufacturers would strengthen that part.
The E10 housings are nice but the cable is pretty cheap and unruly. It's the same cable my PL30's I've had for 1.5 years. The E10 is just an amazing value.
The MG7 has more bass quantity and quality but it should at its price. The E10 is brighter and the MG7 sounds more refined, darker and has a smaller soundstage, yet carry more detail.
I tend to buy,sell and trade a lot of mid and top tiers out of curiosity and interest but the Soundmagics never leave. I still have my PL30 (gave them to my wife's son) and replaced them with the E10, which I love even more. And at $35, what's not to love? For $5 more they are releasing a microphone version at the end of the month.

Does it have the same cord as the E30? If so, it really isn't all that bad.
So, I've been so caught up with the W2 and W4, I kinda forgot about my E30 and gave it a spin... Let's just say, it sounds quite phenomenal, regardless of price. In fact, it sounds kinda like my W2, but with more bass and less clarity across the spectrum. In short, I was pretty amazed at what was lurking in my closet all this time. How did I discard it so quickly to begin with? Nevermind, in turn, I decided to go ahead and order a pair of these (E10) to compliment my E30. And of course, just to see which pair I like better.
Oooo that is tempting. You think they'll improve the cable?
I'm not sure if they have the same cable but I assume they do. I don't like it for its unruliness but it seems to have good durability.
If you like E10 and want more bass, wider soundstage, brighter and forward sounding mid, and inline mic/control, check out Velodyne vPulse.
I just got these and I don't think my E10 will see the light of the day for a while.
