How to tell the difference between a cable problem and a driver problem?
Hi, I've owned the UM2RC for a month and they really are a step up from my previous set of earphones. Recently, however, the right side seems to have less volume than the left. There is also a noticeable "cracking" sound when I increase the volume, especially prevalent on tracks with...- kandywrks

I love my UM2s and the sound sig in general is really enjoyable to me, but I've been reading about possible upgrades, and I find the SM64 looks really interesting.
