When I replaced one of the ear pads on my 007s the part of the metal spring that fits in the center of the pad attachment plate slipped through the plate and made a small tear in the plastic membrane (?) below the plate.
 
The sound, at least for now, is unaffected. Do I need to get this repaired?

Can't say I know much about the construction of the 007's but ouch... that really sucks.. sorry to hear that. If it plays fine I guess the driver itself is fine, but I'd guess that dust getting in would be your primary worry  from this point on.

That membrane is just a dust cover so take a bit of scotch tape and cover up the tear and it will be fine.  I'd do it sooner rather than later though.
