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...

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.

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.

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?

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...

  Thanks!

  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...

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...

Any favorite tracks/albums from among everything on the bandcamp page?

  Thanks for the post.  How did you find this group?

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...

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.

  I'm new to this genre, but I listed to the entire album and didn't really like it because there just wasn't enough variation.  It also sounded very similar to the "Signals" albums by Sabled Sun that were posted earlier in this thread (I listened to all 6).   The dark ambient genre seems to...

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate forum for this post, but since bandcamp doesn't have a help forum and a lot of members here find music on bandcamp, I thought I'd post this to see if anyone has any ideas.   I find that whenever I stream music from the bandcamp website via my android...

Thanks for the recommendation, I didn't know about SomaFM.   Is it true that 128 kbps is indistinguishable from 320 kbps for ambient music, and/or that the bitrate matters less for this type of music?  That's a test I've been meaning to do but haven't tried yet.

  Thanks, those are good resources.  To answer your question "What are you currently listening to?", here are some of the artists I have listened to and my impressions so far:   Kammarheit - this is probably my favorite dark ambient artist so far, with "The Starwheel" being my favorite album...

As a general question, how do you all find new dark ambient music (other than reading forum threads such as this one)?  I am new to the dark ambient genre and really like what I have heard so far, but I'm wondering how to go about finding new music given that this seems to be a very niche...

Thanks, that makes sense.

I was reading reviews for the DT770 Pro 80 ohm on Amazon and came across this:   If you want the best "dedicated amp-less" listening, then the 80 ohms is the best balance between low noise ceiling for listening devices like the iPhone, but not low enough to introduce unwanted noise...

About that directx to winamp wrapper - can you provide a direct link to it? I couldn't find anything by that exact name on the site, and once I installed the stuff I couldn't get the plugin to work.
