The detachable modded DT 770 is finally here:    

Thanks - that's what I thought too, but just wanted to make sure... So now that I know functionality is the same with all of them, I guess I can be a stickler for the looks...   Any out there that looks especially nice? I am looking for a silver barrel with a gold plug end...(Like the adapter...

So my  modified Beyers will be terminated with a Switchcraft 3.5mm plug (nickel plated).   As I am no longer able to use the factory (original) screw-on 6.3mm adapter plug, I am going to need a snap-on 6.3mm (1/4 inch) adapter when using my home amplifier. Are there any that are better than...

(This might be overkill research/nit picking as the item is a simple one, but I just want to be sure for peace of mind.)   I am getting my pair of Beyer DT 770 Pro modified to have a detachable cable; it will be terminated with a Switchcraft 3.5mm plug (nickel plated). As I am no longer able...

Brian @ BTG Audio (I had already sent him the funds when I realized people on this forum do it...but I think his work is well reputed and I didn't wanna reverse the deal): http://www.btg-audio.com/

The blue Mogami W2893 has arrived...will soon be shipped to be fused with the DT770... :)  

so Casper  - does this mean you offer this service? how much do you charge? you can PM me if you want.

I think Raul Montana should offer his talents/services for funds :) At least he can be sure he has 2 customers already :)

^Looks great ! and nice work!   Just a quick iphone pic during some testing using a small mini Onkyo home amp that usually does bedroom audio duty. Even with this small amp, which is not a dedicated headphone amp by any means, it sounds a lot better than running straight from laptop...This...

You can probably get a better cable with sturdier strain relief if you're concerned. BTG Audio (Brian) will make any type of cable you ask him to, looks like.   (I am currently in communication with him about  a detachable cable mod for my 770 pro 80 ohms. (which will hopefully also result in...

OK so I got my DT770 Pro 80 Ohms...super excited - more impressions later - unamped with laptop right now, and serious home amp (def sounds better with the home amp)   quick pic:     I made my decision on the cables : Mogami W2893 in Blue (yeah being radical) - Thanks for all the advice...

Music Hall a25.2  - I have it and I love it. Minimalistic, great sound, built like a tank. Can be found for less than $500 used. (I got mine in mint condition for $375 shipped on Audiogon)   Here's mine: Can't see the whole amp here, but here's more info...

Thanks much!   any particular Mogami wire you can recommend? Also, any good online sources to buy? I've seen this discussed here; what'are your thoughts on this one? http://www.mogamicable.com/category/bulk/microphone/quad/

Ha  - I wish I had your talents- yours look great, indeed. :)   Anyway, BTG Audio has written back and said they can only do a locking jack (as the opening for a non-locking will be too big) on the DT770 and that I can choose any cable I want to, and they will terminate it with a locking plug...

So I just purchased a pair of DT770 pro 80 ohm in mint condition..on its way still. I intend to use it wihtout an amp first - might get one later...   I was looking at BTG Audio and am thinking of having them do the detachable mod, as my DIY skills are not up to that task...  ...

I am not sure either - sometimes i think heck with it and just get the k81 for $49, and be done - but I hate the white accents (all black only in europe), and feel like i want a HP with a detachable cable, which the k81 doesn't have :( K181 doesn't look very portable to me and has even more...

Read this thread: AKG k81, k181, and Sennheiser HD25-1 ii are all discussed in it, with rankings @ the end: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/433318/shootout-86-portable-headphones-reviewed-soundmagic-p30-sony-mdr-770lp-added-07-12

the 181 are a better construction, and got better reviews for their sound, and detachable cable, etc. but ARE THEY PORTABLE? any idea how big they're comp'd to 518? and BTW, there was a thread where someone tested the k81dj and k518LE - although cosmetically same, they sound different...

i am also one of those who can't decide between the M50 and HD-25-1.   To me, the hD25, looks the more versatile - at home use AND portable - (I also have read that they don't NEED an amp, and my friends who's a HP fanatic of sorts also agreed that the difference with an amp is not that...

might wanna check out the Aiaiai TMA-1 too.

would be cool if we can get the Aiaiai TMA1 added to this thread...

Can someone post a link to the headphile cable upgrade for the HD-25-1? (IDK why search didn't work??) Also, another question: is there anything one can do to enhance the looks of the HD-25-1? any suggestions?   Thanks in adv.   I don't own one yet, but these seem to be the only...
