Default Sun/Heat Damaged Phones?

I recently bought a pair of Yuin PK3's based on the good things I heard about them. Love these headphones, they sound wonderful with my D2, and I could not be happier.

The other day, however, I had the misfortune of leaving them in my car overnight/day. The issue is that it was very very hot that day, around 97 98 degrees F all day.

Now they have a buzz in the left ear when heavy bass hits. This was not there before, so I think I have ruined my beautiful headphones...

Has anyone done this, or does anyone know if heat will ruin your phones? Any advice would be helpful thanks!

Hmm. Buzzing usually occurs when there's something touching the diaphragm of the driver; in other words the thin metal disk that is the speaker when you open the thing up. All I know is that my PK3's freaked out when I had a soldering accident, but if it hasn't been too long just RMA it and just say that the left side started buzzing on you. Being from AZ I know how you feel. Smaller headphones seem to be more prone to this, as well.
