Do you guys suspect that Shure would still replace it even if it's out of warranty?  Considering that it's a manufacturer/designer error, I would expect them to.   I'm still within warranty, but I don't want to be left with broken headphones after my warranty is up due to Shure's mistakes.

This thread has reassured me...so relieved.  I bought Shure SRH940's and didn't notice the cracks...today, they snapped on the right side.  All I did was take them off my head, and I did so gently as well...the things cracked and I got scared...going to call Shure in a bit!   PS: Mine...
