Static in left ear of Beats by Dre Studio?

I just bought them yesterday and i LOVE them so far, but this morning when i plugged them into my mac, there was a cracking static in the left ear. They worked fine on my iphone 4 last night, but there was suddenly the crackle this morning. How do i fix it?

You fix it by…

Step 1) Getting a hammer.
Step 2) Hit beat headphones until said headphones are smashed to bits.
Step 3) Go to the store and buy quality headphones.
