    DT770 cable has developed permanent twists; how to fix?

    I have a pair of DT770's that I use during the workday and store in a drawer when not in use. I wrap the cable in circles around the headphones. While in use, I keep the headphones plugged into a laptop on a standing desk, with the bulk of the cord dangling off the desk. After owning the...

    DT770: possible to tighten earcup adjustment mechanisms?

    I contacted Beyerdynamic about this issue and because my headphones had been purchased less than one year ago, they sent me a free replacement kit for the parts shown in atarione's video. That ended up fixing the problem.

    DT770: possible to tighten earcup adjustment mechanisms?

    Mine are only 1 year old and if I remember correctly, they have always had this issue. The outside looks fine, so I guess I'll have to open it up and check the inside.

    DT770: possible to tighten earcup adjustment mechanisms?

    I actually do have the Pro version. I probably should have mentioned that in the title. Does that mean my only option is use super glue?

    DT770: possible to tighten earcup adjustment mechanisms?

    Is it possible to tighten the left/right adjustment mechanisms on a pair of DT770s such that more pressure is required to move the earcups up or down a notch? They seem to require very little pressure to adjust compared to other headphones I've used, which causes me to have to readjust them due...

      I listened to those and liked the Hoedh and Caretaker albums.  What else can you recommend?  I tend to like ambient that is dark/mysterious/scary in some way.  Also how did you discover those albums/artists in the first place?  What resources would you suggest for finding new ambient music...

    ER4PT microphonics: are the cables supposed to be this sensitive?

    I exchanged my old, dying ER6i's for a new set of ER4PT's through ER's official exchange program.  I read about microphonics in the reviews before doing the exchange, but I didn't realize it would be this noticeable.  If I barely bump the braided cables or the plastic junction piece that...

    Didn't like any of the eartips that came with my ER4PTs - are IEMs just not for me?

    I just wanted to post an update to this thread.  I bought the Comply variety pack:   http://www.complyfoam.com/variety-pack/   and found that their foam ear tips are much more comfortable than any of the ones that came with my ER4PT's.  Interestingly I found the "isolation" eartips to be...

    Didn't like any of the eartips that came with my ER4PTs - are IEMs just not for me?

    I bought a pair of ER4PTs and found that my ears always feel sore after wearing the ER4PTs for only 30 min - 1 hour.  This occurs with all of the included eartips - foam and flange.  Given that I bought these mainly to use on long flights, this is unacceptable.  I see that there are other brands...

    Do you all find that ambient music benefits from nice headphones and an amp/DAC as much as any other genre, or is there not as much benefit because the music is simpler with less detail?

    Here's an artist I could only find a couple references to on HF:   https://maxcorbacho.bandcamp.com/album/ars-lucis       He has other albums, but that one is my favorite so far, with "The Ocean Inside" being my second favorite.   I would describe Ars Lucis as being more "light...

      Is there anywhere to stream the complete album?  I'd like to try it out before buying, but it looks like it was recently pulled off of Spotify and it looks like the bandcamp version only has a few tracks from the 4 CD set that can be previewed.
