My Beyerdynamic (DT831) has a main coiled cord with two straight cords that connected to each earcups. The coiled cord itself is fine while these straight cords have started to twisted and tangled in, no matter how I try to untwist them. I dont want to untwist them by hand either since I doubt that will put more fatigue in the internal wires when they are subjected to twisted/untwisted too many times.

You guys have any idea or trick to cure these?

Thanks,
NEO

None of you have this problem at all?

I have the same problem with my MS1, and have read it is a common problem with all Grados. If your Beyers are like my MS1, meaning that the earcups themselves can keep rotating to their whim;s content, simply rotate the earcups until the twisting is gone. At first I thought it was an irrepairable situation, but it can be done. Like I said, just spin the earcups until the cords are straights, don't try to untwist the cord itself without rotating the earcups, you will never get anywhere and might even end up causing damage to the internal wires.

This is all in assumption your Beyers are wired the same way Grado's are. Hope this helps.

Well, I'll tell ya it's a never ending pain in the ass problem for my Super.Fi 5 pro. The thinner cables don't do it as bad, but these new thicker clear ones, well, it's just coil city [when you coil them to fit in the case of course].

I hang it up on a hook at home, but when I have the cord in my purse it is terrible. By the time I get it untwisted the conversation is over. I need a cure also!
