Figured I'd ask around here to see if anyone has any ideas before I consider shipping the headphones off to be repaired.
Anyways, a couple weeks back the left channel started going in and out (Although, if I held it just right it'd sound normal), so I decided to crack'em open to see if I could figure out what the issue was. Oddly enough, the left driver refused to pop out; it'd loosen, but not pop out entirely. Wondering what could be preventing the driver from popping out, I pried it open (gently) and this is what I saw:
It's not the best picture, but it should still help illustrate the problem. From the picture you can see the discoloration of the white padding around the white wire and the white wire tugging on the padding. What you can't see, however, is that where the white wire bends up there's a bit of wire insulation that appears to have fused with the padding. How this could've happened, I have no idea.
Currently thinking about cutting the padding so that I can gently pop out the driver, but as I lack any real experience with this, I'm all open to suggestions. I'm more than willing to learn a bit and pick up the necessary tools if it means I don't have to ship'em back.
