well not died but the left driver now crackles and flutters... I opened it up to see if there was a hair in there... low and behold there's a nice dent along a few ridges on the outer ring of the diaphragm... The only solution I can think of is to turn these into Sennheiser

...which is why I'm posting here, by any chance does anyone have a miracle solution?

If it's under warranty, that would be your miracle solution. Getting the driver(s) replaced seems best.

Could it be a lose or intermittent connection with the cable plug in the earcup? Unplug the cable from the earcup and plug it back in.

Just a guess. I have occasional issues there with intermittent connections on my HD580 and HD600 (and I'm using the HD650 cable with my HD600).

try a different cable.. the left side died on my hd 212s, different cable method but that could still be it.

If you've got some blu-tak or something similar, try to gently press a little dab to the dent, and then gently pull.
The idea is for the diaphragm to stick to the sticky stuff, so you can pull the dent back in place.

holy shnikeys i reversed the cable and now it's on the right side! Well, now i'm impressed by how that dent doesn't impede on the drivers obvious sound

Thanks everyone for the help!

And thanks limpid for that suggestion, but I think Ill hold off since that isn't the immediate problem :S
