Beyer DT770 Pro/ 80 Detachable cable MOD - Page 3

You think so? I can't find a single example of someone using RCA instead of a proprietary option or mini XLR. It concerns me and makes me wonder if I am missing something. I want to do the RCA because I can easily switch cable length and output type. I can even make my own cables if I want to mess with custom gauges and compositions. As a plus, I can use the cable to interface an ipod on the fly. 

I think I will stop hijacking this thread and start my own.

I just googled RCA headphone mod and this was in the images ^ :)

 

This thread below has a pair of Hifiman HE-500 about halfway down that appear to have RCA inputs, but I may be wrong.

I'm sure it can be done, give it a try and you'll have a very rare mod! And still post those pics up here, or link up your thread so I can follow it.

Good work, nice clean job. More photos or a video of the process would be cool.

 

I had my DT770 600ohms recabled with a mini-XLR locking detachable sheathed cable:

 

 

 

Very best,

That's excellent, do you know where I might find a minixlr that would fit the AKG Q701 type cable?
