So I busted out my ath m50's today for the first time in awhile, and nothing was really running that loud, but there was this high pitched noise that I can only really describe as a "chirping" sound when I would play anything bassy. I could hear it with higher frequency content sounds, but it wasn't as prominent. Anybody know why/what this is?

Yeah could very well be a loose part of the driver. So a mechanical problem caused by the coil passing maximum excursion.

Is it possible to open the ear cups you think?

yeah, driver or diaphragm maybe.

I'll check and see what's up when I get home whether or not I can open them up. If it is something loose, you think it's an easy fix?

I know it's soon to do this, but DSF has been dieing off a little recently ( ) so I feel a bump is appropriate. My judgement could be wrong though...... But if it's right (which I really believe it is) an orchestra for DSF

So is it possible to open them up you think?

Just got home this morning, googled it, and it looks like you can get inside them. It seems like a pain in the ass, but I'm willing to try and fix them myself.

Yeah that'd be awesome. It's usually a mechanical problem, so it's quite probably fixable.
The shitty thing is the scale of it. If you have electronics/hi-fi shop around, you can try them as well.
Friend of mine had his cans fixed at one of those.
