Headphones heating up

Hi all, i just got the Corsair Void RGB (USB wire) today. The left side that has the mic and the amp is getting warmer than the right side. Some say it's normal for the amp to get warm, some say it's not. It's not like hot, it's only noticable when you put your finger/palm on it. It gets slightly warm. The dealer is willing to replace these (i ordered these online). Should i go for it or should i keep them?

Amps can get warm.  Old amps used to have mazzive gratings on their tops to let the heat out.  A lot of it depends on how big they are.  Amps have TDP just like motherboards and CPUs.  

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
