Hi
One of the speakers in my Beyerdynamic DT770 Edition 600 ohm broke after 4 years of gentle use. Still not sure why that happend. When I soldered the wires of it, one of the terminals fell of, so I don't know if it had a bad connection in that place.
I bought a new replacement driver from an authorized dealer. Because I only got it in a bubble wrap bag without any indication of type number, once I came home, I checked the impedance of the new driver. To my surprise, it was only 557 ohm. I don't have a picture of it, but with the rectifiers soldered on and measured through the plug, the impedance was 565 ohm.
The original measures 594 ohm, which is closer to the specified 600 ohm of the headphone.
To be honest, after doing a quick listen, I don't think there is an audioble difference, so if you guys don't think it has a defect, I will just be keeping it like it is. After all, it is only 5% deviation I'm just qurious for your comments.
