Hi everyone, I need to replace a broken driver on my Audio-Technica ATH-A550Z. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can actually order replacement Audio Technica Drivers, as far as my reading online shows you have to send your headphones to Audio Technica for repair.

I am pretty sure this is going to work out at more than the headphones are actually worth. So would there be a similar pair of drivers I could install instead? I know some people use aliexpress or similar for variants of drivers. I am however finding it difficult to even find 53mm 40 ohms drivers full stop.

Thanks
