Hmm. On the one hand I really appreciate this video. On the other, once you have the headphones disassembled, the lighting is so blown out, and the view is so zoomed out, that it's actually quite hard to see what you're talking about. Hope the feedback is helpful.

Glad I found this fantastic video. Got the new dynamic driver for my DT880pro’s. And it had this new circuity type connectors. My old one had these ”spikes”. Just soldered everything as you did in this video, worked wonderfully. My Dt880pros up and running!

I've just ordered one of the cables from your website and you've just saved me a fortune from buying it elsewhere - and I'm always happier to support a smaller business like yourself. I'm sure I'll be watching this video again when the cable arrives. Thanks so much!

Brilliant video. Nice, simple and explained in plain English. Just ordered myself a straight cable for my DT990's. The coiled/curled cable is so heavy and always gets in the way. Cannot wait to get this little DIY job done next weekend. Thanks!

Thanks, this helped! Wonderful timing, I was just about to start my repair when you uploaded this :)

Thank you for posting this. My cat decided to chew my dt 990's. Easy job thanks to your direction.

Thanks for the video! My cable just started to go out and I was upset till I found this. I'm going to go for a small upgrade with your three pin conversion kit.

Thanks so much for the video. This really helped me repair my dt990 pro. First time soldering and repairing a headset in one go!

Ordered my cable. I'm gonna change it soon. With this explanation, I'm sure I'll manage. Thank you for making this video.

I have these headphones in my cart but worried about the cable, this has sold me, I can easily do this if needed thanks for you! God bless!

Thank you for this! Helped me repair my DT 770's, also very nice with the explanation of all the driver connections.

Amazing tutorial great personality and super easy to understand!

Thank you very much for this excellent video. Very accurate and a lot of additional useful information for the job. Got my headphones working again: smashing job, much obliged Sir!

Manage to get a pair of DT 990 Pro Black Edition headphones from a resale shop for $30. it was a return item because the 3.5mm broke on the end, i guess whoever (amazon?) got it returned, thought it wasn't worth keeping in stock, and so they just sold as broken I guess. Buying a cable today and going to do this fix, this was already helpful as I disassembled the ear cup like that in the video. What a legend!

thanks for the amazing tutorial. My cat just ate my new DT990 Pro cable.. ;( I just ordered from you guys a replacement ;) Will try to change it myself.

Great Video. Clear and helpful and relaxed!

Amazing I came across this, as my pair which I picked up a while ago had a blue + red + copper cable, seems like they've changed the colours of the wires since I bought mine. And also you mentioned the weird way they had it setup, so if I didn't see this video and just went with the quick searches I did on what colours mean what... Yeah anyway thanks a lot for the help.

Thank you. I repaired headphones a cat chewed up. Skipped the stupid cable and soldered in a 3.5mm female stereo jack.

Just mangled my 2nd pair of Beyer_Dynamic headphones by getting up too quicky! Straight cables are my nemesis now.

A quick video on how to test your drivers with a multimeter to see if they still work would be great

Helped me out today, thanks!

thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks a bunch my good sir, I had an old headphone, with 3 of those connectors, but a new cable... but not that new hence it did not have that extra clip you had, yeah it is weird, I know :D Thanks to your tips and tricks I managed to succeed the first attempt, cheers! If you, like me, have an older headset that has different colors on the cables, below might do the trick for you: (If you have a black, white and red cable, black » ground, red = R and white is L If you have a dot on the left side, that is positive like indicated, so you´d have to solder white - red - ground (black cable in my case) of course the safest way is to check the wiring with a multimeter as per indicated.

Very helpful, thank you!

just fixed mine while watching.. thought i was gonna have a epileptic fit the way my hands was shaking. works tho cheers..

I can't seem to find vids on fixing Custom One's.. I have a broken pair that's so costly to send for repair I could just buy all the things and really make it a custom one, thanks for the vids!

Custom Cans modded my dt770 about two years back,and made a couple of Litz cables for them. The modding plus the cables adds a huge amount to the way Beyers deliver that music that you know you can't live without. But, watching this,I am amazed that the work can be done for £49!. Its so meticulous. And the result is a fine headphone made even better. I mainly listen to orchestral music :there's usually 60-100 people playing and say 10-15 strands (threads) of sound going on. So,there's a lot to mess up,to obscure,to lose. And the custom Cans modding and Litz cables simply deliver more of what's in the recording and it's a lot more authentic. Revelatory. I'm sending in my 880's to get them fitted with a 4pin mini XLR in the new year. I don't get why CC don't have a lot more UK customers. So,all you RNCM,Chethams,Manchester uni music proffs/students....wake up and smell the coffee : Beyer don't make toys and CC do make Beyers deliver more,and better.

Thanks, very helpful.

thank you bro :)

Thanks a lot!

Hello, thanks for your videos. The right earphone of BayerDymic dt880 stopped working. I took it to someone to replace the headband cable. He fixed it but now it has a sound with more mids. What is the cause and how do I fix it?

Hey, the cables are out of stock, any info on where to find new ones?

Hey I took the courage and replaced my broken headband cable and the regular cable aswell as it was starting to break at the reinforced point aswell. First I had alot of troubles where only one side worked but then I figured out that supposedly the 2 middle cables of the main ear cup have to be soldered in one connection. After that the headset worked on both sides but this time it was quite noticably louder on the left ear and quieter on the right ear. I dont know what the issue could be, probably another bad or wrong soulder I suppose? Its late now so I will probably try it again tomorrow but since I stopped trying for today I figured I could ask you since youre the pro. What else could be my issue or my fail? Did you ever encounter behaviour like this and if so what was the fix? Thanks alot for these very easy and informative videos about the beyerdynamic universe. Gave me the courage to DIY :D

Hey - thanks for the vid. I just fixed my DT990 Pros 250Ohm - replacing the old and broken left driver with a new one from Beyerdynamic - and it worked all out but I feel like the frequency response is quite off. Bass seems very loud, while mids and highs seem like missing a bit. The overall volume is super high - higher than on my other 250Ohm headphones. I referenced the repaired 990 to my 770 and - both 250Ohm - and they are louder and seem to have more bass. Did something like this ever occur to you? Thanks in advance.

Like you I have a red white and black wire. But on the Video i Cant really See where to put which. Unfortnately i dont have a Multimeter to Check the wires but i guess the black one is the grounded, the red one right and the white one left. Could you tell me with which wire has to Go where ? I cant really find anything on this on the Internet! Thanks

this video is great thanks! I am just replacing the jack though. the cable has 1 red 1 white and 1 black wires. I have a screw terminal im going to use instead of my terrible soldering skills lol. The new jack has left right and ground. which wire goes to what? is the red now for the left because of how beyerdynamics does it? thanks!!!!

Amazing how simple you make it look. Lol

Very informative video. How much would it cost if I send you my pair of DT 990 Pros so you could repair the wire like in this video. Today I could barely hear the audio out of the left ear and I had my windows volume max. The right ear was perfectly fine.

Great videos! I was wondering how it would be for a dt790 headset, is it more complicated to replace its cable with a 1/4 or 3.55mm? Have you any experience with those?

Cheers for the vid dude! Did my soldering and thought I was home free but I must have gone wrong as the panning sounds off in everything I'm listening to. Is this something to do with phase testing? Vocals and bass all sound like are panned left 😭

Hi, any recommendations for purchasing (UK) a replacement straight cable for DT 990 Pro? There currently isn't one on your site. Cheers.

ok so i just got my DT 990 pros back from warrenrty repair and I'm PRETTY sure the drivers are in backward. the audio seems to be pushing the correct way when i have the cups on backward but now i got the issue of trying to flip the R & L channles on my damn PC which is all i use them on but i don't know if i should complain and send them back or not the drivers should be on correctly i can't tell at this point the sound is weird when

would be nice if you had zoomed in once you started removing wires with the iron. it all gets washed out in the white light.

hi i did this and when i use them now the left ear is louder then the right

Thanks a lot.

Hi the wire at the side from the headset to eachspeaker got eaten by my dog, any idea what type of cable it is so i can replace?

sorry if this is a stupid question, but If one wanted too have a cable coming out of each earcup and remove the head band cable how would you got about doing this ?

Hi, I just recently had the end of the aux tip break and don’t know how to replace them. I saw you have a small business but I don’t know if you take repairs, I’m base in the UK so shipping should be simple. Could you let me know if you could help? I believe I just need a new cable just like in this video

My pin bent and broke so I bought a fresh cable from your site, but I cannot seem to get the soldering correct despite following the video, the right is the only one that ever works. Is it possible that the speaker is broken on the left? Or am I simply getting the soldering wrong? they worked fine before the jack was bent

Hi there, I was wondering if you had any advice on what to do with my DT990s that appear to be a much older model - they have 4 wires internally, with a brown and white connecting to the right ear, and a yellow and green connecting to the left driver. I have a new replacement cable with 3 red, white, and black wires but am unsure of how to adapt or if this is possible - any ideas?

Is there risk for the wires touching and interfering with each other? I remember a cable repair guide that instructed to cover the wires with isolating tape and add some glue to hold everything in place.

I have a faulty one. Dont have the original cable replacement. Can i just use a AUX cable cut and solder?

Its some time on. But I have just had my right ear on my DT990 just cut out for no reason. I have no idea why. Is there a common fault you know of at all? I am going to try get them replaced. But would still love to know what the issue could be

Hello, since my aux plug is deformed, I wanted to replace it. So I bought an replacement aux plug and cut the caple. Now I have the problem, that the kevlar in there makes it impossible for me to find the copper wire of the cables. Ist there any trick to get rid of the kevlar? Or is it only possible to replace the whole cable due to the kevlar?

Do you know when there will be a restock on your website?

maybe a bit late but i have like the very old dt990 from the 80/90s but i accidently made the points to warm is there someway to fix it? or is it doomed

what if the wires are already severed, how can i know where to wire my new cable up to?

Hello Jason, do you know if it is possible easily to change the 2.5mm cable connector on the AKG K361 to a standard 3.5mm female connector? Many thanks in advance.

Hi custom cans, I cant afford to send these in for a repair so I have ran a continuity test with a fluke voltage tester. The reading gave continuity beeps when testing ground and all the other configurations they are all just on with beep. The positive the right or left they all just beeped with each other in every combination of tests I had one part of metre on the different jack parts as shown in video and the other checking each solder point. My best guess is this means the cable has broke inside the flex part and all wires are just shorting out each other with contact? I was told it was likely a driver failure but I feel its likely the cable. I will now put the driver and headphones in front of my de humidifier to further dry it out.... What do you think this means? Please advise many thanks.

I've done the mic mod for my dt 990 but one of the cables might've gotten slightly mangled. Trying to figure out what sort of awg and diameter these tiny cables are to order some. Any idea?

So, I have the three lug type 990 and repaired it temporarily, which I shouldn't have done. What you warned for happened, though not by soldering heat, but by accidentally pulling the cable. Two of the three lugs are now no longer attached. Is this the end of my headphones, or is there hope?

Hey Mate, im not sure you still reading comments on this but Ill try my luck. I just did the fix as you stated and now when i test it only the right speaker has any sound on it. The left + is perfectly soldered on and the damage why i changed it the cable initially was rustling on L and R. Do you have any Idea where this might come from? Im not very fit in electronics..cheers

you just saved me 180 bucks

The side of my headphones which does not connect to the cable is the one not working properly anymore. If I twist the cable i can sometimes still hear everything just fine on this side. I assume the soldering on the driver is the issue, not the cable?

hello, just wonder if one of the tiny cord mentioned at 5:44 is broken can it be fixed easily or should I change the whole driver? Cheers

i know im about a year after upload but i just broke the wire that goes over the band (its the wire that goes to the left side) and idk where to soucr it if i can at all, anyone got any sugestions/links to where i can souce the broken wire?

Is ifi Zen DAC V2 capable enough to properly drive DT990 Pro (250 ohm)? I was told by a seller that it wont drive to the full potential

my new dt990 loses signal everytime i bend the cable just a little, why is that? How do i fix it?

Hello, i replaced the cable on my dt990 ed yesterday, cause my right channel was not working anymore. after soldering the new cable on, i noticed that the quality of the sound is kinda weird and also is the right channel now really quiet. Please , could u help me. i have to know why it is like it is

How long would it take for your cables to ship to the United States (New Jersey) ?

🐐

I sure do wish they made that cable detachable :D

If the metal stakes mentioned at 6:24 do indeed come off is the driver just dead or is there a way to save it? For a bit more detail. The left and the middle stake (so for ground and right connection) came off while the right one (for left ear) didnt. I put them back in place but after connecting everything back up the right ear cup works the left one where the stakes were removed and reinserted dont work anymore. Is my assumption that the voice coil wire broke and i need to replace the speaker correct? Is there a way to save the driver?

Afraid that right from the start (2 mins), those headphones are different to the DT770, which have no visible screw that you can take out on the left ear.

i came here cause my headphones dont work but forgot that i cant watch the video without them

Found my way here as I cannot find a single adapter or extension cable for the DT990's that work. Every one, no matter how expensive, only gives right speaker. Fine into the amp, fine into the PC, but add any one of 20 adapters or 5 extenders, and no left audio. Really regretting buying these. Official Beyer extender is no longer manufactured and others on the market do not fit the threaded 3.5m end, thus changing the cable with a longer one is my only option. Can I send them to you Jason to fit a longer cable?

What are those tiny voice call back wires for?

do you do cable mods yourself? i bent the headphone jack and want to replace the cable.

There are no DT990/770 replacement cables in the link you provided. are they not available anymore?

i was cleaning the dt990s and since cleaning with water the left ear has lost all bass and 75% of volume, what is the best guess to what has gone wrong ? any ideas guys? Thanks

Will this work for MMX 300 as well?

Just did the cable switch on my DT 880s, but now the volume on the right side is lower than on the left side. Does anybody have an idea what I've done wrong and if I can fix it somehow?

For some reason my left ear has stopped working but my right is still fine, it just randomly stopped last night but after a few solid taps it started up again. Again tonight its just stopped but only in the left, do you think that could just be a bad solder or a dead driver?

would a ifix it kit work with this?

OK so I followed along, but now my right ear is correct, but my left ear is center channel, and center (both ears at once) is left channel. What have I done?

I don't have a pair of that heating stick machine is it an absolute necessity and what could i use instead?

What to do if both driver cables are detached?

I'm looking to buy the DT770, could anybody tell me how hard it is to replace the cables? In case the cable gets damaged if it gets stuck somewhere? Thanks

I can warn you a little. I was cautious and checked everything via multimeter. It was too difficult for me and i fucked my headphones totally ! But your video is ace tho! 💪

Can you film it closer? Abacadabra

Hello thank you very much for the guide but i am french and i don't understand everything what you say and the video quality isn't good. Can you resume with text what ground must link on pine right, and left link on extreme pin left... I don't know if my question is clear ? If you answer me you are my Savior 😁

если нет мультиметра то провода можно прозвонить просто убирая левый или правый канал. за видос спасибо.

Can I send you my sons DT990 for repair?

How did you finesse the pads on so easily when you were done? That shit takes me 20 minutes if I'm lucky lol

'There's not even any headphones here'

I just tried this and excuse my french, but why the hell does the soldering tin in the headphone take minutes to melt?!? Why is it that when I try to melt my soldering tin, it only takes a second, but when I do the same thing on the driver, it takes almost half a minute? And why does it not stick to the board? And who the f even came up with soldering?!? Have I mentioned how much I hate soldering? And how much soldering evidently hates me?

Can I send mine to you for repair? based on your accent you sound close! Just wondering how much this would be. Right driver gone :(

I don't recommend removing the plastic ring this way. I just pierced my paper membrane. Better to lever the plastic ring from the outside.

came back home to my headphone cord destroyed by my cat. its a sad day

Note to self: Don't use the sharp side of a knife to open the driver, cut my finger open :D
