So I've had these bad boys since July of this year(2013) and these are my first audiophile headphones so I'm still new to this world. But anyways, my cans have been crackling since the week after I got them. Usually it happens when a piano is playing. The crackling is VERY noticeable in the song Agony by Fleshgod Apocalypse. A piano plays in that song and it crackles almost every time a key is hit. I can't even finish the song. Actually, I've never finished listening to the song because the crackling is so annoying. If anyone can help that would be great. I do wash the ear pads so they can be clean and look nice(I have the white version of the M50s) but i put them back on when they are dry so no water can mess up the drivers. But the crackling started way before i even cleaned my cans for the first time. If it helps, I mainly listen to electronic music and metal. It could be a possibility that when I was burning in the headphones, I played a youtube video of white noise for a few hours at max volume so that could be why its crackling. If thats the case well then I guess i'm ****ed until i can replace them because i didn't get the limited warranty from Audio Technica and I ordered them via Amazon. Thanks for your help ^_^
