A video showing the process we use to modify the beyerdynamic DT990 here at custom cans. There are probably some useful tips if you are looking to mod your own DT990s
we now have a kit with the foam and weights available here
customcans.co.uk/shop/?s=dt99...
Or if you want some ready modded DT990 check out the link below
If you fancy buying some of our modified beyerdynamic headphones check out the link below
customcans.co.uk/shop/product...
We now also offer a send in service
customcans.co.uk/shop/product...
or if you want to buy the bits your self we used
Bitumin car sound deadening sheets for the bar across the middle
6mm adhesive lead for the back of the driver and 4.5mm for around the outside.
the socket used was a REAN RT3MP or if you are looking to go balanced the RT4MP would be the way to go
For wire - you can use whatever you have to hand or the original wire that was already in there but I would recommend no smaller than 26AWG and no larger than 20AWG for the best results

I recently got DT 770 Pro 250ohm version. And the wire for the right earcup was angled weirdly which was driving me crazy (OCD probably!). I wanted the wires to be beautifully symmetrical on both sides of the headphones!. At 18:29 you removed one earcup, rotated it once and screwed it back in order to get the wire to follow the same curve as the other side. This was what I was looking for. It took me less than 2 minutes to do the same thing and now my headphones look perfectly symmetrical too! Thank you so much for showing it (even though it's a minor detail and 99% of people won't even bother), this video was highly useful to me! Your channel is a godsend for all Beyerdynamic headphone owners. I don't know why Beyerdynamic doesn't bother putting a detachable cable themselves. It's such a low hanging fruit. So many potential DT 770 pro buyers go with ATH M50x just because of the detachable cable!

Nice video, I did this to my cans with a slight modification I used balanced jack, since mine are 250 ohms and I want to use them with a powered portable amp. If you use Canon ITT Mini XLR: M-XL-3-14, and bevel around the mating surface where the jack screws into the cup you can get a flush mounted jack, instead of the slight protrusion like I see when people use the Rean mini-xlr jacks. It’s only about .5 mm of extra material removed and if supported with hot glue it will be solid.

You can leave out the foam to make them fully open but the foam helps reduce the peak in the treble. As they are pretty open any way and they have velour pads you don't get much isolation to begin with and I don't think this mod reduces it any further

love your work but idk why would u make it heavier does it make it sound better or is it just a preference thing ?

@CustomCans 2 жыл бұрын

The weight is added to the driver enclosure . Essentially it gives a bit more mass for the diaphragm to push against. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so as the diaphragm is moved in an out, the enclosure tries to move and flex the baffle. Adding more weight in the right places means that the enclosure is harder to move so more of the energy goes into making sound, especially in the sub bass region where the diaphragm has to move a lot. So... the mass loading helps the driver recreate the very low frequencies more accurately with less harmonic distortion.

Have you ever given it a go on the DT 770 pro, 80 ohm? Like making it into a semi open back, detachable cable, etc? The reason I am asking it that I purchased this set a few months back but now some home studios are saying to use the DT 880 pro 250 ohm instead. I have a hard time determining if spending another 240 dollars Can, on yet another pair is worth the hassle and expense?

If you are happy with the sound from the DT770 then I would stick with them. We do make some mods to squeeze a bit more out of them but going semi open would be a big job and probably not worth it jfunk.org/wpc/product/beyerdynamic-dt770-mass-loading-and-damping-kit-v2-mod-kit-by-custom-cans/

Random question from a new headphone user, the 250 ohms probably won't run on my phone/pc but I don't want to spend extra money on an amp/dac right now. Is it possible/worth it to do this mod for an 80 or even 30 ohm version or would it be a waste of money?

@CustomCans 2 жыл бұрын

You could run the 250 ohm off a PC or phone temporarily if you are going to get an amp in the future - They won't go super loud and you will lack a bit of control in the bass but I use 250 ohm headphones straight out of phones and laptops all the time.

Ok, I got a question for you. I just got the mass loading and dampening kit in the mail today and did it, but now my left audio isn't working. Was working fine prior to that and the solder joints still look solid. Right channel works perfectly fine though. Any idea where I went wrong? I removed the lead weights just to be sure it wasn't an issue of something getting shorted out, and it still wasn't working. I also got the detachable cable conversion but I don't have the time to get my soldering iron set up until the weekend, so I'll be able to test that then, but until then I'm at a loss on what happened.

It is very tricky to tell without testing everything with a multimeter. Hopefully you have broken a wire or maybe a strand of wire has come loose and causing a short. Worst case scenario, you have broken a voice coil wire, that can be pretty fatal.

@CustomCans 3 жыл бұрын

Adding weight to the back of the driver. As the diaphragm moves in and out, some of the energy goes into moving the the rest of the driver assembly in the opposite direction. Adding weight makes it harder to move so more of that energy goes into making sound rather then wabbling other areas of the headphones. Generally it seems to improve the clarity and extension of the bass

The litz we use is specially made for us to our own spec. But any litz up to around 1mm outer diameter should give the same sort of effect. That said.... Litz is not easy to solder properly so if you have not used it before, it may be better just to use normal wire. The difference in sound will be quite subtle

Wonderful mod, just wondering what the point of the extra weight?

@CustomCans 2 жыл бұрын

As the diaphragm moves in and out, some of the energy goes into flexing the baffle. Adding weight makes it harder to move the baffle and you end up with slightly cleaner bass

Is there a hearable difference between beyer dynamics and your cables?

@CustomCans 2 жыл бұрын

That is a tricky question to answer. A lot of people are convinced there can be no difference in sound between cables. I think I, personally, can hear a difference and if you check our feedback, a lot of customers are really impressed with the sound quality improvement but that may all be Placebo. I can say for certain that they will have a lower capacitance, inductance and impedance than the stock cables as well as being more flexible and less microphonic.

Hi. Does the damping also fix the "Beyerpeak"? I also have an amp with balanced 2x xlr (1 left, 1 right) and I'm unable to find any adapters for my specific case (mini xlr to 2x xlr). Do you have any links for me?

Specifically what gauge and type of wire are you using to make your custom cables and use in the cans?

@CustomCans 3 жыл бұрын

it is litz made of 84 x 0.071mm wires per core each wire is individually insulated and the core is wrapped in natural silk fibbers to hold it all together. The outer cover is 550 paracord. So... nothing too exotic, a lot of the magic comes from the geometry rather than fancy materials

@CustomCans 3 жыл бұрын

@@stickyfpv5231 Yes that should be pretty similar. If you have not dealt with litz before, I would recommend having a good practice soldering it before you try to attach it to the drivers - it can be much harder to solder but there are lots of guides online. Just remember that as all the strands are insulated from each other , you need to make sure all of them have solder on the end or the ones that don't get solder on won't carry any signal

So basically, the DT770 and DT990 use the same drivers, but they are configured differently internally. DT770 has sort of a ring around the driver that bridges to the back and closes it off similarly to any other closed headphone... MDR7506, ATH-M40X, etc. The DT990 doesn't have that tube piece inside, but has the vents, which are dampened a bit to tune the sound.... so what happens if I 3D print a new cup, that has vents on the back, stick some DT880 dampening foam in the back of that, and install it on a DT770 without the internal tube piece?... I would essentially have an intermediate between the 990 and 770 headphones. Maybe I can get the cleaner bass of the 990s and the cleaner treble of the 770s into one headphone.

@CustomCans 2 жыл бұрын

It would probably not be that easy - there are so many things that effect the sound... it would be possible but would probably take a lot of testing and tuning to get them to sound the way you want

You already have the cable dangling off the left side so you probably would not notice another few grams. If you are concerned try taping a few coins to the side to see how the added weight affects you. If you find your self leaning left or walking in circles I would not add a socket

@CustomCans 2 жыл бұрын

I would advise against it. if you use a drill bit it is likely to end up central to the original hole and the driver won't fit back in. With a burr tool you can eat away at the plastic slowly and get the hole in the right place more easily. Have a look at the ridge the driver sits on.... the hole needs to be below that line. Burr tools only cost a few quid and you could use one in a normal drill
