To everyone who is doing this: When popping off the ring, make sure to put the lever really completely under it, before twisting! I accidentally ripped a small tear into the paper on the outside. To be safe, I wouldn't twist it at all, just pull it away from the case. It's my own fault! I used the backside of some tweezer, but that was actually a bit too round, so there wasn't much left for it to hold on.

Followed this to mod to my 770s and Tygrs. 👍 You can cut the cable further down and pull the wires through - much easier to solder with more wire to work with.

Just did this mod, sweaty palms, heart beating, messed up the wiring first time, but now it all works great! The soldering tips helped out a lot, thanks for those! One thing that was different in my set (maybe because I got the DT770 32 ohms?) was the colours of the wires. I have black (for ground) attached to the longer pin, white attached to gold and red attached to silver and that seems to be correct in my case.

great tutorial, this was my first experience soldering and you made it really easy to understand, thanks!

Your video helped me fix up my DT770s with the cable mod, totally hassle-free despite my soldering inaccuracies lol. Thanks so much, I've got my headphones working now!

Dear Mister Custom Cans, many thanks for this nice and quick tutorial : D If I had a soldering iron I'd try this : D Especially since my 770s right side seemingly died today XD : '( One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!!

just did the hole part with one of those tiny needle files. it also works pretty well. took me maybe 10-15 minutes. will probably do the soldering some other day cus i don't have wire.

Great vid for just how to solder!

you make putting pads on look easy.

Sorry If this comes as an uneducated shitpost, but zReviews talked about an even easier version of this mod not long ago: the detachable cable a couple cm down the earcup ending in a male (I think he said 3,5mm) and then use an extension cable as your normal cable. That way you don`t have to open the earcup or dremel at the plastik...and if you accidentally yank the cable, it will come out in every direction instead of breaking something inside the earcup (90° force might break the mod entirely).

that made modding my dt770 so easy! thanks for sharing :)

used this tutorial for my first time soldering anything and it all went well 👍

THANKS

BE CAREFUL to drill the connector's hole away from the driver support of the earcup, or you will not be able to put it back...

The one thing putting me off buying these headphones was the fixed cable. Excellent video showing it's easy when yuou know how. You've inpired me to have a go and hopefully not ruin a brand new pair of cans. What's the bass rumble I kept hearing from around the 7:50 mark?

Honestly this is so cool I've had a pair of Dt 990 pros for ever I'm looking to do this but have non of the tools lol

Just did this, nowhere near as clean as yours because Im really bad at soldering, and the tip on my soldering iron is super oxidized and barely works. And it might have been stupid but because my solders didnt seem very clean or reliable i just slapped just epoxy (which I was already using to seal the holes/help hold the socket in place) on top to insulate and keep them in place. Checked functionality first, all seemed well. Fingers crossed. Thank you for the video.

You made this look so easy. Im considering getting a d770 just for this mod but I'm not sure if my soldering skills are up for the job. I once wrecked a game cube controller trying to solder new potentiometers

Great video, thanks it was really helpful. is there any point to using mini xlr over 3.5mm jack or is the fact that xlr is balanced irrelevant in the case of a pair of headphones? cheers

Should I try this if I've never soldered anything in my life. I have all the tools and have watched several videos but maybe should practise on something else first? You make it look so easy.

Very good,but is not the easiest way,to make a pigtail outside of the headphone the simplest one?

Does this work on the dt 990 premium? Great video btw!!

What Dremel bit are you using in your videos? Also, could you recommend a Dremel kit that I could purchase?

This is the one reason I haven't bought these headphones

I want to mod my DT 990s but I can't decide whether to go full throttle and get a socket inside or cut the cord just before the curled part and attach a socket there. I feel like the weight of the socket on the cable would be a nuisance(?)

Can the 3.5mm port be used to connect a V Moda boom pro mic? If not, what else would be required for it to support that. Could you recommend me alternate parts like the ones you left in the description? Thanks.

Nice! can you use a balanced cable with this mod?

Is there any advantage of modding the DT770 with either the 3.5mm to Mini XLR?

Where did you get you male jack? Looks nice!

Im going to do this but I also want to build make a custom cable with paracord. I know using the right wire types is important but dont know how to decide what to use.

Just finished my mod, thank you and all the helpful comments! If this is your first time doing something like this plan in at least 3 hours and one burnt finger 🫠. Also, don't be afraid to really pull on the retaining clip. A flat head screwdriver instead of a butter knife worked quite a bit better for me because my knife was too flimsy to get the clip out. Putting solder on everything before connecting it and having the jack aligned as in the video was also a great tipp! Checking everything before putting it back together (by carefully inserting the plug) and seeing if the Jack wiggles is also a good idea. If the wires can bend and touch each other make sure they are isolated (if not a bit of hot glue/electrical tape helps). Hope this can help and thanks to everybody!

Hi! Could I use any 3.5mm cable with this mod or would I need to get a specific spec? My DT770s are 32ohm and I'm looking for a more flexible cable than the stock one. Maybe one short and one longer.

I’m unclear on what the multimeter did. It just helped you confirm which wire was left right and ground?

Is it the same process when doing a mic mod like this. I guess i go for stereo socket plug ?

Do you know if this will work with my pair 990 pros I have a pair that's been sitting in my closet and I really wanna fix it

podia me ajudar a mandar o link da loja que você comprou como que compra outro falante dynamik do dt 1990

Is there any alternative tool instead of using a dremel?

Does it stay well sealed without silicone?

Can I get the link for the Jack and plug combo ?

What if I make double 3.5 input mod? Will it work?

Ripped the jack off my DT 770 Pro, i think i'll do this rather than attatching a new normal wire

Haha I rather Sub than Like XD

Do you have a service where I can send you mine and you do it for me? Lol
