what connections you use on the T1?

Eidolic 3.5mm universal extended-tip plug
Make sure you get the new model (gunmetal one). The old one (black) still fits in but a little tight.

I have the 1st generation, So I think how to mod them with unpluged cable.

I want dip mount connector, but not tilted from the bottom-middle

I want to mod my pair to "left sided" connector like on DT880

Some encouragement for people nervous about cabling their headphones....

About an hour ago my 3yr old DT-990 Pro ground wire broke at the cable relief. I have a retired set of DT-770 Pro that I had a straight cable put on when I had them serviced in ~2015, and since the DT-990's were already screwed, and the 770's have a bad driver (again) I might as well try and fix 'em.

I have a lot of strange talents, soldering is not one of them. My soldering iron is 20 year old cheap garbage, and so is the solder that came with it. The joints look like Stevie Wonder soldered them with his feet. But I must've done something right because I don't need as much gain for the same volume, and the mids are louder, warmer, and shifted closer in the sound stage.

Either Beyerdynamic's straight cables are better than their coiled cables, the ground has been slowly degrading and I didn't realize it, or I finally managed to successfully solder something without burning myself or melting something vital.

I'd take a picture of the joints but I trust my solder work so little I'm convinced it would turn to dust if I dared look at it again. Long story short, if I can do it, so can you.

DT770/880/990 connectors on the driver melt too easy.
I always try to leave them on the place after soldering so they stick back to the plastic.

I throw the coil cable from DT770 pro, not like it.

the drivers that you used from the same impadance category ? (32? 80? 250ohm ? 600?)

Threw together some XLR interconnects to go between my Keces S3 and Keces S125. It has balanced so why not use it. I know it'll be balanced when using the internal DAC but not when using my turntable as the phono preamp only has RCA outputs.

At some point I'll use the single ended output of the S3 into my Feliks audio Expressivo and maybe run some RCA's from that into the S125 so I can choose between solid state and tube as my preamp.

Both my 770 and 990 are 250ohm. I haven't heard anything other than 250ohm 990's, but I have heard 80ohm and 32ohm DT-770's and didn't like them compared to my 250ohm. Both had too much mid-bass, gives the impression of muddiness, and unlike the 250ohm which has a nice mids boost on my amp, the 32/80ohm just got louder.

Because I'm terrible at soldering, the 990 driver did warm up, and I definitely flowed the connectors quite a bit. Maybe there's a possibility that the solder wasn't done great from the factory, because as I'm listening again today my 990's have never sounded better than they do now. They've lost some sibilance and gained a lot in the mids. Something definitely went right.

Does anyone know where to buy a 3mm wide Gooseneck flexible tube? (preferably from the UK) I am looking to upgrade the mic on the Audeze Mobius using my lavalier mic which has better noise rejection.
Thanks

The first cable I made a few years back using plussound OCC wire:

Loved the cable, lots of compliments, but recently I helped mod + recable a friend's gaming headset:

Since that was my first time braiding 6 wires and flat braid, I absolutely fell in love with how beautiful they look. I just had to make an 8 wire cable for my in ears in flat braid as well. A gripe for me was seeing cables braided flat braid below y-split and round braid above it, it is much more lovely to stick to one braid pattern in my opinion:

Made using ebay SPC from super_bonny88. Was very cheap during ebay coupon promo so I bought multiples for future cable projects

Beyerdynamic DT100 /400ohm got adapter for my DIY cables

I just too lazy to create new DIY cables line for only one pair

p.s: I love my headphones and made lots of cables and bough lots of pads for each one.

I know we're not supposed to have discussions in this thread but I have a quick question @Firschi, how did you get such a clean wrap at the Y split? I have the materials to make a cable just like this for my HD6XX but can't wrap my head around how the y split comes out that clean

My new black sausages for my HTPC setup!

XLR: Neutrik NC3FXX-B + NC3MXX-B + Tasker TSK1034 + Viablue 44310
