I got ahold of my dads old pioneer SE-30 8ohm headphones, they are in rough condition and the left ear makes buzzy low volume if any at all,so opened up that can and checked with multimeter and it gets 0 so its burnt, i have a few options i would like some help in the way of advice on what to do here,is it possible to repair a speaker thats blown like this, theres no holes in the cone or tears and when you push it in and out it moves but scratch's heavily, if not possible to repair,is it possible to find a replacement of the exact same kind? if not is there anywhere that sells 8ohm cone 70mm drivers that would match this? then last option,is it worth it, are these headphones known to have really good audio quality, if not i have smaller earhphone drivers from my older oculus rift cv1 that is known to have very good audio quality but i think theyre 16ohm so i could probably hot glue them inside of the pioneer cans, anyways any advice at all would help greatly, ultimately i would like to keep them og if at all possible.

I use to own the Pioneer SE50 and they are NOT quality audio headphones of today. They lack frequencies over 8khz and above and do not have sub bass or dynamics. It's a very flat sounding headphone. Any cheap Superlux, Samson or Philips would walk all over those things. You can buy headphone drivers on the net that would replace those or even buy a broken ( most have wiring problems ) good quality headphones off Ebay for cheap and change out the drivers. ** I would look for some broken cheap closed backs like Beyerdynamic DT series or Audio Technica ATH M- series if that's something you are wanting to do.
