I thought i read that you needed to use the USB C cable to get all the functionality? But now i can't find it.... did i make that up??? Are all the features available when using it via bluetooth? Or is there any benefit to using USB C?

hokkkkay its done and all back together. It sounds great but i'm hoping my cables need to be broken in, if that even happens. Overall tho they do sound a bet better.....mehbe. I'm still pretty confused as to how my right ground and right channel are interchangeable yet still work fine...

I will never get any readings when probing any channel to any ground. Except for this random occurance where get all kinds of crazy readings. right now its settling on about .08 when i use the symbol like this: ->|- I have soldered everything back and now my ground and right channel are...

I guess i will solder the wires back on and see how it sounds. but i know originally they would not show readings. my left cup did not and when i do tests on a plug they don't either. I'm not sure what that arrow diagram is telling me but thanks shinyfalcon, i will give it a try.....

The orignial wiring used all three connections but you don't need to at all. All i use is the left which is the channel and the right which is the ground wire. Quote: Originally Posted by Fixz8 Well technically they should be connected... since the coil is just a wire... Did you...

WHY WHY WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. doing my recable of my DT770's I'm on the last f#%^@#$%@ step where i have to do my soldering to the right cup. and then just pop it in DONE EXCEPT THAT NOW MY MULTIMETER IS SHOWING THE GROUND AND RIGHT CHANNEL ARE CONNECTED. NOOOOOOOOOOOO Its being very...

This is my practice cable before i recable my 770's this wknd. -Silver plated copper teflon -neutrik 3.5's -clearance radioshack 1/4" (LOL) It could be more purty but the connections are SOLID I learned that you can't twist off your plugs once you've heat shrunk them otherwise i'd spill...

When doing a four strand braid with two ground wires i've heard you should leave 1 side of the ground floating. Which side would this be on? The headphone or the plug? What if its a simple interconnect like mini-mini?

AH! i just remembered my idea before i fell asleep last night. I dislike having a giant plug when i adapt 1/4" to 3.5mm, it feels like there is more leverage to rip stuff apart. Therefore i was thinking i could create an interconnect that is a female 1/4" -- mini. It will be about a foot long...

Well unless putting some food coloring on the wires protects them, they are always bare these are mine....doesn't really make sense

oh, so do your innards look like that as well? maybe i freaked out a bit early Good idea on melting the plastic but i'd want a second opinion before i possibly destroy some kind of structural integrity I wouldn't mind melting it a little bit tho ...alright F it, i'm gonna do it first...

Well i opened them up after work and found that mine look much harder then yours........ Lets see if these pics from my dropbox work (they work for me, let me know if you can't see them) As you can see there is a large immovable piece of plastic in my way D: There are a few...

I actually thought about asking for a paint drawing! but thought it'd be a bit much to ask for lol so i see that the right channel solders into the left middle pad. That seems odd but i guess i'll go with what works I also see that the ground is split up, that makes it easier. I ALSO SEE...

I had seen some pics of a recable done to the 880's and it looked a little daunting. but after reading your simple description i may attempt it. I think it would be amazing to do, I"m just worried about my babies! The main thing that scares me is i feel when i reassemble it, it won't be as...

I recently broke the jack to my DT770's, clean thru the 1/4 adapter into my 3.5mm. This has thrown me into DIY audio projects, which isn't bad because i wanted to anyway and now i'm EXTREMEMLY motivated to fix my lovelies. My goal is to make a few cables and then attempt to reterminate my...
