You need to test them with a different source first and see if they work.
REALLY loud static from AD700's

I am listening to them on my laptop. They work, but I hope they aren't damaged. What do you think?

Good idea. But I'm asking if the static caused damage to my headphones. It was extremely loud. I heard it from across the room!

Okay, thank you. I have a three year warranty on them anyway.

As for what caused this, I think when installing Creative drivers for their soundcards, it occasionally makes sounds like that. It happened to me before, but it was on my speakers, so it was reallllyyyyyy loud :O
For your headphones, if it still sounds good to you, then it's probably fine

I think it might be the sound card, because I can plug the phones into anything else and they work fine.
