ATH-M50 Driver Blown/Fried...

My M50's were working perfectly yesterday morning... I came back home after several hours, wanted to relax and found only sound was coming from the right driver. While the left driver was still making noise, the low end was gone, the mids were always a bit lacking.. Higher end still sounded correct, but very quiet.

 

I managed to mute the working, right driver with the software my Xonar Xense came with for a good listen. I also pulled the ear cup off and looked for little hairs/dirt in the driver, looks perfect. 

 

(I also tried using another audio source with the M50s and I've tried using my other pair of headphones with the sound card)

 

 

Soo ye, a little mad. Haven't had this pair for more than a few months. I sent ATH an email, I'll have to wait until Monday to hear a response. 

 

 

 

 

Fried voice coil maybe? They were never used incorrectly... Anything I could do in the meantime while I wait for the response? 

 

 

Thanks.
