I'm not brave enough to try and modify my DT770's, but I have to thank you for making such a great tutorial. Definitely subscribing and liking this video, hopefully once I learn a bit about soldering and wiring I'll definitely get the kit you recommended

There are a pair of DT990s on sale in a damaged box I've been eyeing at my local music store and I have the experience to do the mods. I really appreciate these videos!

Directed here from a shout in DankPods' latest video. He mentioned how he got a detachable cable for his DT770s, and I thought, "sick, I've been needing a pair of new closed-backs since my ATH-M40Xs died, but I would want a detachable cable or some form of bluetooth functionality, too." Then I look you up and find that you're selling this! Much love, man.

As a mobile audio/home audio/home theater/headphone/DIY enthusiast, I deserve a kit lol. But seriously, great stuff you guys are doing. 🎧 I have a modest collection of headphones including the DT770 Pro and the DT990 Pro, both 80 Ohm variants.

Fairly new to Audio DIY, but been gradually over my mid twenties have been diy’Ing literally everything from home improvement to the game console modding. So I think this would be a interesting start to get into audio modding. Idk, I think it’d give me a sense of completion & also being a musician just add another level of things I can learn from in the world of sound waves.

Just modded my Grado SR80x (detachable cable) with the help of your video some days ago and want to continue with my old DT770 and give them away to a friend of mine :) Ty for the amazing videos.

Modding your dt770's is easier than it looks, if a little fiddly. For reference, I think if you have ever fitted brake pads to your car or repaired a toilet cistern, you can do this.

Don't know if "deserve" is the word, but I'd love to get one, so I eventually only have to buy one later when I convert my 990's. I have a set of 770's and 990's that I swap between depending on if I want open back or not. Whether I get one for free or not, I'm probably going to use your kit to mod both. The non-detachable cable is literally the only thing I don't like about my DT's. That aside, I found your channel through headphones and then browsed through your stuff and found the video where you refurb your Rok coffee maker and I had to sub. Coffee and music are just about the only two things I really allow myself to kind of "hipster" out about. I really enjoy this channel. Keep up the cool stuff man!

I deserve the kit as I have never won anything ever in my life, ever. I’m starting to consider there could be a widespread conspiracy to stop me getting any free stuff. Love your channels and mods and stuff, videos are cool...keep up the good work mate !

I just mod my 250 ohm for cheap with a 1-2mm thick poron foam , bought it for Keyboards . made a circle with slices like a pizza that it can fit perfectly in and double sided tape. They got a pretty Reverb Sound to them and the background being a bit forward now. it compress the inside a lot but Sound Great for me :D had no thing for the weight mod.

Oh i would surely love to win!! I love tinkering and fiddeling around to make stuff better! And that would also be a great opportunity to maybe also mod the looks of the headphones too!

I'm super new to this community! I love to do soldering jobs, which I learned at a young age from my dad constantly fixing electronics and car audio. Now I just build my own keyboards and cables. I just got a pair of dt 1990s so I don't know if the kit will work for that, and deserve is a strong word. I would do my best to do customcans and my old man proud on assembly.

I just ordered the kit from you for balanced detachable mod and mass loading v2 as well for my dt 770 can't wait

I just bought myself some DT770 250ohms, and am in love with it. I have ZERO experience modding or soldering or anything of the sort, but somehow the algorithm led me to this video. I was so relaxed while watching this video, and also entertained to try stuff I have never done... I've got some old pairs of headphones with broken headbands (I have a large head and haven't always been super kind to my cans...) so I'm thinking I'll start off trying to give those things some life and eventually work myself up to learning how to mod these 770s. I really enjoyed this video, lad. Instant like and subscribe from me. Thanks for some dope content!

Another great video :) I'm thinking of buying a set like this for my vinyl setup... we'll see

just found this channel, love it :) i think you should send the guys at the Headphone Show a modded pair of 770 pro and let them test the difference. if they like it it could boost sales significantly, i guess.

Nice and motivating video. Just need some patience to do all those manipulations securely. Very useful kits, thank you.

My dog just chewed through the wire connecting the ear pieces together and I decided to order a soldering kit online and try to replace the wire using this as a reference. Wish me luck lol

Thanks Man.. your video was a great help.. my dt 770's Cable recently had a bit of an issue where if i move a little bit one of drivers stopped working.. i followed ur guide and made a 3.5mm detachable cable without the damping and weight.. slight sound issues here and there though rarely.. the bass seems a little loose and im experiencing sound leakage.. anyways thanks for the Video it saved my headphone :)

@CustomCans minute 27:01 you mentioned that the pinout is RIGHT on top, LEFT on the SLEVE, and ground a the end of the connector, but I thing that's wrong, and it's LEFT on top, RIGHT on the sleve and GROUND at the end of the connector.

Can't wait for my pair to arrive from you folks

Always appreciated your hard work and modifications❤️. I bought sennheiser hd58x missing little bit of bass, I think dt770 fill this gap. I heard it has great bass response. I like to try this one with your mod.

Looks like some ppl have me beat but these are my first pair of studio headphones and I love to tinker. I’d love to win a kit and brag to my buddies!! Subscribed anyway!

Dang too bad I wasn't here sooner lol could have bagged one of those free kits. Either way thanks for the well put together tutorial!

Hello. I made an MMCX mod for my DT770. It seemed to me that mini XLR is too bulky. So, the MMCX is small enough, clamps tightly, and I can buy different SE or BAL cables on Aliexpress. MMCX connectors and cables from Aliexpress may be gentle, but no worries now. All looks good. Also the 4-wire connection improved the soundstage, which I would definitely recommend. I can give additional info if somebody interested. Or separate video on Custom Cans ma be useful. Cheers.

Received one DT770 PRO 80 OHMS yesterday.

i did this mod to my 770s to replace the headphone jack mod i had earlier, unfortunately the hole i had drilled for the headphone jack was a bit off from where the hole has to be for the xlr connector so mine is loose but after i glued it in place it hasn't budged so far, if i have problems with it in the future though i will replace that ear cup, i also found that i didn't need to cut the center ring at all in either mod as there was no interference and everything fit perfectly already

Going to be getting one soon

Did this with my harx-700's

I'm still thinking about doing a balanced conversion this way, or match it with my hifiman and go with 2 3.5mm. i like the cable to be interchangeable, but somehow it would take away from the 'beyerness' of the cans haha.

I found that with these cans if you take off the pad foam and shove it behind the driver 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ may work for some folk 🎶🎶

I deserve those DT770's because I just broke mine trying to make the mod. 😂 Too shaky hands for soldering it seems, and the white "paper" covering the speaker unit inside the cup that goes towards the ear got also punctured because I have such clumsy hands.

20% eh? Cool enough to comment for the algorithm 😎🤷🏼‍♂️

Not sure it qualifies as deserving, but DT770's are my first foray in to "decent" headphones, coming from the wasteland of "gaming" headsets they've been a massive revelation (and I have no excuse, my dad was a proper audiophile so I should know better). Been watching your vids and procrastinating about modding them (mainly because I want a blingy colourful cable)... so yea, if you sent me a mod kit I'd have no excuse but to get it done then come back to you to buy some fancy cables (yes, plural... right now my 770's never leave the PC as the jack is out of easy reach... if I could easily disconnect the cable I'd be able to use them for TV viewing as well (and consign the Astro headset to the dusty tech graveyard drawer once and for all).

I consider myself about 5% cool, I guess I'm 25% cool now :). Might consider me hd25% cool ...k I see myself out, I sadly don't own dt770s I hope the lucky people who get the kit enjoy the joys of modding their headphones. I've only managed to "mod" my hd25 by getting some thick yaxi pads.

I still do not understand why do manufacturers refuse to build their headphones without detachable cables. Are they crazy, these things are studi headphones and they should last a long time.

Nice, i`d like to win a set because ... reasons! Would love to upgrade my old DT-990s from around 2010 to get some new life into these.

For anyone who has already tried this, what kind of sound do you end up with after you mod the interanl cups? He mentioned adding bass, but I've never felt like these really needed more bass, but then I wondered if adding the stickie bits maybe helped smooth things out by absorbing certain sound waves. I've got questions LOL!!!

Thanks for great vid as usual! Really cool that you don’t push viewers to buy the sets in your store, and instead actually provide the parts-list. Not that many ‘’opensource’’ mindsets in the HIFI business. I’ve got the DT770 32 & 80 ohms, which would you recommend doing the dampening mod on? BTW, got your bassmod for my HD600 a while ago, damn you have done a brilliant job with that set!

Hi ! Thanks for this great tutorial. I own the DT770 250 ohm. I don't have a balanced headphone amp. I was wondering if I could connect my headphones to the XLR line level outputs of a preamp without damaging anything. In this case, I will simply modify my headphones to connect each speaker to a 3-pin XLR male connector : XLR output > XLR connector > headphone driver. It will save me the cost of a new headphone amp and new headphones to enter the balanced world...

I know this video was posted like a year ago but i had a question and maybe you still read the comments 🤷. I have an amp with a balanced output and i went down an internet rabit hole to find out how to go about using it. This ultimatly led me to your video. The question is, can you short the two ground pins like you do in this video and plug it into a balanced amp without damaging the amp. My understanding is that the balanced cable carries two positive and two grounds. In the video you connected both of the ground pins to a common ground wire. Later you stated that you could swap in an XLR cable to plug in to your balanced amp. Does this not create a short? Just trying to get clarification.

Deserves or not deserves, that is the question!? But I WANT Them! That is the answer! V

I got so excited seeing this video! I bought a K702. When it arrived it suddenly dawned on me that ive had a similar headphone laying around fir ages. The k602 from my dad. So returned the 702 and im just using the 602 only thing is: it doesnt have a detachable cable 😭 so i want to do this but to the akg k-602. Do you have tips?

I also got all the parts for the DT1770PRO in the meantime... ^^ I just lack the courage for the balanced mod xD

So, what's not clear to me is whether you MUST use a balanced cable/connection with this mod. Or can you also use the TRS cable you guys sell with a non-balanced source? This question is literally the only thing stopping me from placing an order. Thanks!

Thanks. Good video, clear, informative and evident that you are an accomplished modder. I have seen many YT 'hackers' make a bodge job of mods. Myself, I love making and modding kit for various projects, so have subscribed. Was thinking of buying some Sony MDR 7506 cans for field recording work, and modding a detachable cable. Most seem use a 3.5mm socket on input end but I had wondered if a mini XLR might be better if it fits. Yet to buy parts so don't know what is best yet. Any views? I do like the way with this that you have thought about the frequency response and introduced weights, damping pads etc to adjust base response. Was this done on a hunch or have you done scientific tests to validate and quantify the relative impact of the incremental changes? I must look into these BD cans too, are they best for mixing or just overall end consumption of content in your best view? They look a bit too bulky IMO for field monitoring, so I'm drawn to the Sony 7506 cans for that role.

I deserve it bc I bought a Fiio ka1 & I don't have enough volume for them.. Store wouldn't return them

would this mod be possible for someone who has never soldered before? I see you have simplified the amount of wires that actually end up being attached to the drivers. I know this is an older video but any help would be appreciated! thank you.

I don't know about "deserving", but the cable is kinda too long and my modded Grados don't fit travelling so well.

Thanks for sharing......Wish you the best and lot of Subs...You are one of the best! KZfaq.....UFFFF......!!!!!!!!! :)

for the cable, could i use a different mini xlr cable rather than modding the old cable from the headphones?

You’ve modified a few bits and bobs. How does that compare to the original sound of the headphones?

Can this be done to a pair of DT 1770s?

Can anyone help me just got these how would I wire the right and left drivers on the old platform. I don't have 1 and 0 on my drivers

Bit late. But I feel I deserve to win a wiring kit, I just swapped over from Corsair gaming headset to beyerdynamic dt770 and a dac :)

What kind of solder did you used, regular or containing silver?

My cable is broken and I would like to do the mod. Can I use any 3.5mm Cable for this Cable mod? Also is this mod compatible with the v3 dampening kit?

Will connecting a 4.4mm balanced adapter on the wire of the dt770 allow me to connect my headphones to a 4.4mm balanced input and achieve a balanced sound?

Any mods on the DT770 Pro?

Hello everyone!!! nice mod. I want to ask you something. This modification offers a balanced connection through 3.5mm jack TRRS (4 conductors)?

กดติดตามเเล้วครับ

can you do a focal clear disassembly video? it really would be interesting

Greetings, First of all, thank you for this video. I'm actually thinking of doing this mod for my DT 770 Pros 80 Ohm. But since I would prefer to have a Shorter Cable with it, I was wondering what type of wire or litz you would recommend for a DIY sleeved braided wire, one balanced, one unbalanced, and one for the headband. If it changes anything, I'm from Germany. With kind Regards flammehawk

Hi I m looking at the website and the kit says its 3 pin MiniXLR but the pictures shows a 4 pin connector. So is it 3 or 4 pins

I want to mod this to mainly use with a FiiO KA3, it has a 4.4 mm balanced out, how would I go about modding such a cable, cant really find mini xlr to 4.4 to just buy. I am very new to this.

nice blackberry phone, which one is it?

is it worth getting the DT770s ? I`ve been looking for a budget ( under 150 euros and around 32 ohms ) studio headphones for my PC for music and gaming , these seem to have very mixed opinions from different reviews so far. cheers !

Are there any measurements for before and after the mod?

Why is youtube removing my comments? I only said I made an reversable detachable cable mod...

Do you do anything for the TYGRs? I'd love a detachable cable TYGR 300 R.

I want to be cool ! I am cool honest but dose the algorithm know ? I have been subed for eons. Hay algo let's do a deal if I win the mod kit can we agree I'm cool then ? Love peace and afro grease.

Any1 thats shine my sun more !!! Giveaway me1
