If it's still under warranty, why wouldn't you try to RMA it first?

You can try... but several manufacturers are opting to refund you what you paid for the product, instead of replacing it, per their warranty terms. Terms that never were an issue before. And obviously what you paid years ago won't get you anywhere near a similar product now.

But OP would still get something.

worth asking anyway... but if they demand the pair back and only offer a refund, you're losing money over keeping a single stick probably.
