I am modding a pair of Sennheiser HD265 headphones and somehow tiny metal flakes got sucked up on the magnet of one of the drivers. Unfortunately, the driver seems extremely fragile and if I use any metal tools it could damage the driver. Is there a way to get the metal flakes off the driver without damaging it?

Have you tried a stronger magnet? Maybe one from a hard drive?

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get a lot of the metal flakes out of the driver. When I put the driver back in and tested it, it still sounds much quieter than the other driver and only has high treble sounds. Could this problem be caused by something else besides the metal flakes? I tested the drivers for impedance and they're both around 160 ohms.

Here is the bad driver how it looks now:
