Yeah,it looks like the driver to me,either totally dead or any of the wire came off (+ve/-ve)...not the jack.

I can't help but think this is a false review. The M5's are marketed as neutral and that's what they are. Typically when I listen to these headphones the bass is non-existent. The "sub-bass" covers up anything? No, you cannot hear the sub bass as these have none! Unless you plugged these into a powerful amplifier and turned up the bass, these have none from a regular source (ie a macbook air). The sound to my can be described as tinny at times, with the highs and especially mids being prominent while having a non-existent bass-line. My Sennheiser HD-439's have more bass than these unamped, and that is not very much. Even less bass than the ATH-M50's.

Sounds like a poor seal to me, or a dud, or possibly something else.

Definitely not a poor seal, even with the comply foam tips it's the same. My first pair had something loose inside that was audible when listening to it but the bass quantity was the same as the replacement I got. I'm sure I didn't get 2 duds...
