One of the ear cans now folds not only inwards but outwards as well, as seen in the picture. the left can rotates to the left, outward, making the headphones unuseable as you can see in this picture. I don't see anything broken from the outside but I guess the rotating thing is broken from the inside and no longer blocks it from rotating there. Anyone knows this problem ? And what would you recommend for an upgrade ?

This thread shows you how to take your M50 apart, in case you need to replace anything: http://www.head-fi.org/t/586304/full-ath-m50-deconstruction
You can get the part you need from audio-technica, depending on the country you live in, or get a broken M50 from somebody.

What are your thoughts on that ? Is that what I'm looking for and do you think it's legitimate ?

It's from China, so it's likely a dupe.
