Once i had removed the earpiece, to expose the wires, i found that there was a frayed wire which would have been occasionally touching a screw, hence causing the crackle noise.

I followed this guide and found the same problem with the frayed wires through a rough edged hole in the plastic between 2 compartments in the left driver. I managed to fix it up and got the headphones back together but had lost some length in the cable that runs through the headband so I could no longer fully open the headband size adjuster on the left-hand side.<br />Therefore, to make the headband the correct size for my head, I had to open the right-hand side more than the left. This was fine for about 6 months until I started to notice small hairline cracks along the full length of the headband plastic edges then one day they snapped in 2 places. On closer inspection they had snapped at weak points where the holes are to attach the (purely cosmetic) grey rubber centre trim. Had this trim not been in the design I'm sure they would never had snapped.<br /><br />My headphones are now 3.5 years old and I think I've had plenty of value from them but I am disappointed at these failures in the mechanical design. I work in consumer electronics and have not seen such bad cable dressing in products a quarter of the price of these M4U2s but I still love the sound of them and am willing to buy a second pair to replace my broken set.<br /><br />Can Paul let us know how he got on with his second pair? Did they eventually suffer the same failure? Did he open them up straight away and confirm if PSBs had addressed the cable dressing issues? Or am I mad to consider paying for another pair?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714362912023950890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12321277.post-57877299179327654362016-07-11T15:38:02.019-04:002016-07-11T15:38:02.019-04:00I edited my post to reflect the fact that Unlockin...I edited my post to reflect the fact that Unlocking the bootloader is not possible at this time.<br />Their excuse for voiding the warranty is that software can damange hardware (ie. overclocking).Paul T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00738774334132650343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12321277.post-45947003604811901812016-07-09T15:21:23.724-04:002016-07-09T15:21:23.724-04:00So they do let you unlock the bootloader, which is...So they do let you unlock the bootloader, which is good, but voiding the warranty is not.

Two weeks before the warranty was due to expire this set stopped working on one side. They have just been replaced by Bose. The Bose Q25s provide good sound quality but make up for that with light weight, comfort and superb noise cancelling. By far the best best for serious long distance travel and/or commuting in noisy urban environments. <br /><br />In contrast, the sound quality of the PSB-M4U-2 is really something. The many positive reviews are absolutely correct. The PSB's in full noise cancelling (and powered up) mode provide superb sound across base, mid-range, and treble frequencies. They create the sense of being in the room listening to music live. Above all else these headphones uniquely provide both precision and warmth (meaning a rich and lush sound). The big problem is the lack of reliability. I have had four cables fail then the headphones stopped working on one side. Yet despite this I am still considering buying a replacement set. Why? Because the sound quality makes every other set of headphones I've listened too sound sound disappointing in comparison. Before parting with the cash, however, I am going to listen to some OPPO PM-3s.Brian S Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769028345351557179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12321277.post-64789563054621434242016-01-31T01:59:28.076-05:002016-01-31T01:59:28.076-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889810572202636524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12321277.post-79437181956058959632016-01-31T01:58:42.630-05:002016-01-31T01:58:42.630-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889810572202636524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12321277.post-29843480186443977622016-01-31T01:54:20.363-05:002016-01-31T01:54:20.363-05:00I have a similar problem with these headphones.

After nearly a year's procrastination I finally sent them off to have them repaired (free of charge except for outgoing postage). In 5 weeks time they sent me a brand new pair. Today, I encounter the same problem in these headphones. We are talking about less than 5 hours listen in total since receiving this pair. First it begins in full noise cancelling mode and then on hybrid (that's were we are now) and eventually the left side will cease to work completely (based on my previous experience with this brand/model). <br /><br />I only needed to search Google briefly to discover this blog. Thank you for confirming my suspicion that there must be a flaw in the design and for providing a solution. Sadly, I don't know if I am up for the task (I do not own some of the tools)... At this price point I struggle with the idea of becoming MacGyver. I wish I could simply plug & play. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057747648130960525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12321277.post-23543191142672278102015-06-10T18:20:33.105-04:002015-06-10T18:20:33.105-04:00Thanks very much for identifying the cause of this...Thanks very much for identifying the cause of this fault and how to fix it. After extensive market research I purchased PSB-M4U2 headphones because of the superior sound quality of these headphones compared to Quiet Comfort 15s (the 25s have come out since). At the time this assessment was based purely on reviews. Since then I've owned the PSB headphones for a couple of years and the sound quality of these headphones is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately they have not been reliable. Both of the original cables failed while the headphones were under warrenty. PSB replaced them but either the second set of cables have failed or else the problem is internal to the headphones as described above. Since I was sick of the unreliability of my PSBs I recently purchsed a pair of Quiet Comfort 25s. The light weight, comfort and noice cancelling of the Quiet Comfort 25s make them superior travel headphones when compared to the PSBs, but the sound quality is much worse. My recommendation would be to own both headphones- the Quiet Comfort 25s are much better for travelling (especially long haul flying) while the PSBs offer great sound quality. The question I'm now considering is: Do I purchase another pair of PSBs given the reliability issues? Brian S.
