    Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Review

    You will find that the sound does improve quite a bit with velour pads. They still won't be the most detailed of headphones but the sound will change quite a bit, with a much wider sound stage, a less bassy sound and better mids in my experience. It should also be mentioned that you need a...

    Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Review

    The COP isn't very loud but the big issue I found was the cable, which I really do not like. I swapped the Beyerdynamic cable over for a v-moda cable and the sound was louder.

    There is a definite change in the sound signature, when you change from the plether to the velour pads (Personally I think for the better).  Less bass, slightly more mids and a more open sound stage.

    The headphones can clamp down and did couse problems to begin with but you I found stretching out the headband the feel improved a lot. I also changed the pads, which improved comfort. As the for soundstage it takes a long, long time to open up.

    Well I think the fact that Bayerdynamic have released it in black and white (it might come out as gray as well). Beyerdynamic is releasing the COP's to be customisable, with different colour head/ear pads and the ability to change the back ring and cover which can be personalised, with many...

    There isn't as much isolation with the velour pads but they are much more comfortable and don't suffer as much heat build up.

    Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Review

    The M80 and COP's have a very different sound.  The M80's have a more even sound, whilst the mids on the COP's are slightly recessed, but the bass is much more powerful.  The sound from the COP's also feels a lot warmer.  The M80's are a bit louder, I would say that the sound detail is similar...

    Had the COP's for 3 month now and it feels like the sound is still improving, the mids have come out much more in the last month or so.  Am now really enjoying the sound.

    I think I ordered the pads from Amazon in the UK, they are on the USA site as well: http://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-EDT-Replacement-Pads-Pair/dp/B0016MMYKA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359538221&sr=8-1&keywords=beyerdynamic+Dt770+pads

    From what I have read the COP's there has been a very mixed reaction to the headphones, some love them and some detest them.  I have had these headphones for around two year.  So here are my impressions and views. I am not going to get into the unboxing of these headphones, the packaging is...

    V-Moda M-80 or Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro?

    Own both headphones and whilst there are similarities when it comes to build quality (which are both very good), in most other ways they are very different. For my the COP's are not very portable.  They play fine on a portable device but the headphones are just too big an clumbersome to carry...

    Because the M-80 Jack is smaller than the hole it does fit securely into the hole and does not engage the locking mechanism.  .The plastic part of the jack is about 7mm diameter.  There is not spring just plastic. Badly drawn image

    I am using the m-80 cable.  The 3.5mm jack is thin so I have no problems fitting it into the headphones.  Some of my other cables won't fit though because the 3.5mm jack is too thck and the plug too recessed into the headphones with a bit of plastic sticking out which the beyer cable clamps...

    Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Review

    It takes a long long time for the COP's to burn in, I have had mine since November and the sound is still improving.  The mids over the last couple of weeks seem to have come out a bit more, (maybe due to changing to the m-80 cable), though the mids are still a little recessed and subtle...
