I just successfully executed this repair using the linked Alibaba replacement drivers. Since I only use these headphones for monitoring and not mixing I felt comfortable only replacing the single driver (right side) that was broken. I cannot tell the difference between the original and replacement driver, but my bar is set very low.
It's an easy and very satisfying repair. I've been using the headphones with the replacement drivers for a few weeks now, and I think they're comparable to the Sony drivers.

Yeah, I can't tell any difference between the MDR-V6s with the Aliexpress drivers and my MDR-7506s with the original Sony drivers.
Going to attempt the exact same thing myself. Not sure why the left driver seems to be a point of failure. Thanks for the video!
