Yesterday, I was listening to my cans again and noticed a constant clicking sound through the right driver, even with no music playing. So, I decided to field strip my cans and see how this thing is built. I also defoamed the cans to see if it would affect the sound in anyway. I was wondering if perhaps that I could buy replacement drivers for something like the AD2000s, since most of them share the same 52mm driver according to Audio Technica. If I could do that, I would want to try to perhaps swapping drivers for a fraction of the cost of buying a new set of cans. Does anyone know if the drivers are the exact same size (depth, width) for other of the other Audio Technica headphones?

looks a bit like the AD2000s to me.
