Popping is an issue combined of noisy source components + M4U's internal amping strenghtening the noise.
I'm starting to hate these headphones and this company because no replacement parts are available.
First I lose the battery compartment cover, that was over a year ago and I've never been able to locate a replacement.
Now I have accidentally wrapped the cord around a door handle and snapped the proprietary cable
You can't just plug in a 3.5mm cable to these so what now?

Thanks gav007 and jess70. I have ordered 2 cables for the nad Viso hp50 from eBay.
I tried contacting PSB about the battery compartment cover, but they just told me to contact a store here in Australia, and I did but they never got back to me.
I'm thinking about getting some full size bluetooth headphones anyway, which would replace the M4U2. I use Bose qc15 for flying.
Here in Australia I was able to buy replacement cables from their authorised dealer (I can't remember their name but I can look it up - they're based in Melbourne).
I have a vague memory of emailing them and not receiving a response, but when I called them they were very easy to deal with, I ordered the cables and payed over the phone and received them after 2 days.
A few months ago the left ear-cup has suddenly died after 14 months of daily use. I love these headphones, and in a way they facilitated my entry into the "serious" headphones world as they demonstrate so perfectly what a headphones amp can do to the sound - plugged straight into my ipod, I would often go from amp mode (red) to amp off, just to see the sound difference. (I also have the Bose QC15 which I owned before the M4U2, but I don't think I used the Bose even once in the last year and a half, ever since getting the M4U2...)
And even though I got heaps of interesting headphones in the last 6 months, I don't think that there's any better portable headphone in my collection than the M4U2. My current portable of choice is the Mad Dog 3.2 + FiiO E12, but the M4U2 is badly missed.
I would love to fix it, I need to figure out where to send it to...
I used to use the M4U-2 with an iPhone 4s which definately sounded better with amp on. However with my Fiio X-5 the PSB's don't sound better with amp on, and actually don't sound as real with the amp on. I guess my point is, that if properly driven the PSB-1 would be as good as the 2 at a lower price.
