I went through the exact same thing with my 880's. You'd think with the 5mm thick felt pad protecting the driver a hair couldn't make it through, but they do. First off, clean your earpads monthly taking special care to pluck any hairs out. And secondly you likely have the same problem I had. I put them back together and the side I cleaned was weaker than the other, not just lack of bass, but it didn't sound right and wasn't as loud.
The issue was that I had unseated the voicecoil. The difference between seated, and unseated, is only a few millimeters, it might 'look' like it's okay but it won't sound like it's okay. Since you've already disassembled them you know how to reach the driver. Gently work the diaphram and it's voice coil at the center back down into the magnetic enclosure. If you make any dents in the membrane, just gently use a little cellophane office tape to pop it back out. Try them on before putting the driver back in and make sure it sounds okay.
I nearly had a heart attack when this happened the first time, thought I'd broken them, but the driver went right back in with a little delicate care and they have been working tip top since then.
