I bought a pair of DT770s a month ago to replace my HD280s.
The HD280s had a problem with the cable, but they were over a year old so I assumed the cost to fix it would be higher than the worth of the headphones.
In the UK the DT770s like all headphones are horribly overpriced. £150 compared to $150, so I ordered from eBay in the US, and had them delivered to my Florida holiday home.
Anyway, the headphones have already developed a fault. The right headphone cuts out, it's as if I'm moving the balance slider the left headphone gets louder in comparison and the right eventually goes dead over perhaps 2 or 3 seconds.
If I wiggle the cable about I can get it back. Unfortunately it's difficult for me to determine exactly where the problem is as it's not as simple as moving the cable one way and it works... if I was pushed to guess what the problem was I'd say it was the connection inside the cup.
I can't for the life of me work out how to disassemble the cup to have a look inside and see if it's something I can fix myself.
As far as a warranty repair is concerned it seems a little unlikely because I bought from eBay in the US.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could open up the right headphone to see what's what?
