Okay, so I am new here (posting wise) but have been lurking for quite a while.
I just got a new pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's to replace my broken pair of old-school Sony MDR-V5's. The Beyers sounded absolutely beautiful when plugged into my reciever, even without a seperate headphone amp, and I was in a sonic utopia
.
Now, even though i bought these off ebay, they were new, and the box was still sealed.
Fast forward 5 days. I am enjoying my new cans, when suddenly the right driver starts to have some minor 'static' background noise. Not 5 minutes later, the right driver stops working completely, leaving me with a pair of DT385's (half of 770, get it
). Anyway, this totally sucks. It is not the reciever, as my old (but physically broken, electrically fine) MDR-V5's still work fine, as do another pair of cheap-o's. It is possible that it could be the 1/8th -> 1/4th adapter that is included, and I have not tried the beyers on a portable yet, but I'm pretty confident they're dead.
So, a couple questions.
1. What are the odds that Beyerdynamic USA will help me out (since these cans are so hard to find in the USA)?
2. Has anyone here had a similar experience with Beyer cans?
3. Was there anything I could have done to make this happen? (I doubt I was over-driving these cans, as i do not have a seperate headphone amp, and through their short life there was no discernable distortion that i could hear, aside from what was described above..)
Thanks for any help, I'd like to re-join Team Beyerdynamic DT770 as soon as possible
