I went ahead and got some Mogami W2893 since it seems that is what most people use. I think I'll get the jack on Amazon unless I decide to do both sides and make it balanced haha.

Hi all!
 
I modded my headphones successfully. This is what I used:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ML4A2Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mogami W2893 (Purched off Performance Audio)
Rubber Washer
Loctite Plastic Bonding System
Soldering Iron
Fine Electric Solder 60/40
Dremmel (For those of you that don't have one I got this one and it worked great http://www.amazon.com/WEN-2307-Variable-100-Piece-Accessories/dp/B00A8DXKXS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424713322&sr=8-2&keywords=dremmel)
 
Notes: I had to use a dremmel to make the whole a bit bigger to not only allow the chassis to fit but also so it could be snug and I could fit the rubber washer on.

There it is. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

What's the best cable to use to go from the right driver to the left?

 

[PETEREK]

I use wires out of Mogami w2799 for that, they're 26awg each.

 

[ZSamuels28]

I have leftover cable from Mogami W2893 that I'll probably use since I think it is the same cable used in the w2799. Did you just braid them and sheath? What did you use as a sheath/cover?

 

[PETEREK]

Yeah they share the same wires. I've done it a couple ways, 1/8" nylon multifilament and I've braided them individually with type 1 paracord.

 

[ZSamuels28]

Which do you like better?

 

[PETEREK]

Eh, I'm impartial. They both serve the same purpose. I guess the individually braided way would look a little more fancy to some people.

 

[ZSamuels28]

Do I have to use shrink wrap to hold down the nylon mtifillament?

 

[PETEREK]

You can just put it over both cables, tie a knot on the inside of the cup on one of the parts where the sleeve is, route it through the headband and into the other cup, and then tie a knot there as well in a place where the sleeve is. It won't move that way and you wont have to use heat shrink. Obviously, allow some slack of extra wire for the parts connecting to the drivers.

 

[ZSamuels28]

What do you mean tie a knot inside the cup? Can you take a picture of yours?

 

[PETEREK]

I don't have a pair like that anymore, my DT770-80 ohm is long sold. I have dual entry Beyers now. I don't know how to describe it any better in words.

Heya, I recently installed a 3 pin mini xlr in DT-770 250omh. I would presume that the different Ohm versions look the same internally, but have your mods been a tight fit or have you had to file down either the connector or the filaments inside? I had adjust the cut out for the jack towards the back of the can.

Yeah, I think for most adapters you need to make the hole larger. I used a dremel on mine but I used a 3.5mm. I would just make sure that the hole is filled as you don't want any open space or it will change the sound. I used a rubber washer and some epoxy. Epoxy works really well.

 

[Funkylicious]

Ah, I found the dremel to be a great tool as well. I though I would be able to use the nut on the inside of the can, but there were too much of the filaments, so I just used hot glue.
