> buy 770 pro> barely 2 years later pic related starts crumbling apart> replacement parts cost 20 wtf, you guys told me beyer was hq
>>103258434I still have my 2015 Sony headphones all great
>mfw I have to duct tape my headphones like some caveman
>>103258471kek same, but im using 10+ year old logitech headset
Works on my machine. Only the ear pads need replacement after 10 years or so.
>>103258434There are ebay sellers who have 3D printed replacements for those parts for dirt cheap. They actually seem to be higher quality than the original parts so I recommend them.It's slightly annoying that it's necessary but they're great headphones overall. At least fixing them is an option due to the simple modular design.
>>103258434Either buy 3d printed replacements or print your own, you do have a 3d printer right? https://www.printables.com/model/227951-beyerdynamic-dt-770880990-slider-replacement
>>103258550thank you
>>103258434>770 promine broke after 11 years
>>103258524What are some good replacement earpads for them?I hate the stock ones, and the thick leather ones I got for my k240's make the BD's sound like i'm under water
mine have cracked and broken in the same place but are still holding together and work perfectly. why are these the cockroach of headphones?
I use a 3d printed hinge shim on my audio technica m50x after the tab that holds the earphones from swinging out broke.Sadly poorly thought out designs are a common problem it would seem.
Same, 2 yearsIt just breaks if you hold them from the cups.
>>103258434been using my DT880s for 10 years, they don't budgeget a smaller head or something
Same here but i don't mind to pay 20 bucks for replacements, at least i can buy replacements unlike other headphones which will just die like a piece of shit when those parts crumble
>>103260749NTA but I picked up Dekoni elite velour pads for my 990s and really like them.
this is why the sennheiser hd 500 series is superior. built like a brick shithouse. abused the shit out of my hd 518 for over a decade, never cleaned them, never replaced the pads until recently, and nothing has broke and the drivers still sound the same. they're just solid hunks of plastic with no fragile parts.
>>103258434I bought my 770s already used on eBay and they're still fine now. I bought them over five years ago and they are obviously even older than that
>>103258447unfortunately they only make wireless slop now>inb4 mdr 7506it's shit>inb4 mdr m1too expensive
>buy 700 pro x>barely 2 years later pic related starts crumbling apart>replacement part is the entire fucking headband assembly which costs 80yeah they've been taking the piss lately
>>103261793are you poor?
>>103258434I just bought some 3D printed replacements on Etsy when I upgraded to DT 990s. The ones on my 770s cracked after 3 years.
$20 for another 2 years of life or $200 on another pair you pick
>>103261844Yes
>>103261951Ah man, at least you didn't suck cocks to finance your used headphones
>>103261932most niggercattle will choose the latter99% of the time a retard gets a new phone it's because "the battery on my old one died and they wanted 30 bucks to replace it so i got a new 800$ one instead"
>>103262003except they want 80 dollars to replace it and a new phone costs 120 dollars
>>103258434yep. i got the 1990 pro. those 2 plastics broke for me too. stupid design, should be made of metal. besides that they are really great. fortunately i got a coulpel of those free plastics since they broke just before the 3 year warranty so im good for now. Any way to get metal ones manufactured somehow?
>>103262159>Any way to get metal ones manufactured somehow?don't think so but the 3d printed ones are reportedly sturdier (depends on which material you choose maybe)>broke just before the 3 year warranty3 year warranty? did you get them off thomann or something?
>>103262159>. Any way to get metal ones manufactured somehow?yeah you got $400,000 for the metal 3D printer?
>>103258434my brother got one of the newer beyerdynamic models with the same headband, I thought they were solid. That connection point failed in less than two years. I will never buy another one from them. I also thought they made solid shit still and obviously they don't anymore. Fucking sad.
>>103262305You can just upload files to places like PCBway and have them print it out of whatever. https://www.pcbway.com/rapid-prototyping/3d-printing/
>>103261614Sounds like my Focusrite HP60. I swear to god I abused the hell out of them for 4 years already and the drivers still hold a punch, no matter what the sound card.Oh, and they dumb as fuck. No control, just a simple cable to plug in and use OS controls.
>>103258434meanwhile my recycled plastic 558 senns are working to this day and they have not got the lightest treatment. even the original cable still works and i roll over it with my chair almost daily
>>103262287yep, the usb audio interface aswell.
>>103258434How? I have mine for like 6 years or something now, even got dropped several times and nothing's broken, though I will say that after the drops the adjustment mechanism doesn't feel as snappy as it did when new.
>>103258434haven't had an issue with mine, but i did pay to have the cable modded so i can use a detachable cable
>>103262863That's surprising, I recommended 990s to a friend when he wanted to get a new audio setup. I warned him that the sliders would break at some point, and they did. I've never dropped these and mine broke as well. Maybe at some point they made the plastic much cheaper? They just felt like the cheapest plastic ever made when I was looking at the broken pieces.
>>103261959Yeah, I had tried a friend's 770s and liked them so much I was pretty much set on getting a pair as my next set of headphones. I was previously using some sub $20 things that I don't even remember where I got them. I did some research to confirm the 770s were good and then I got them used because I buy pretty much any electronics stuff used unless I can only find it new. I spent $100 and they've been great for years. I have no desire to get something to replace them and I expect them to be working for at least a decade if not many decades more
>>103261959Post story now
>>103262897The logo on the plastic bits on mine does look different than the one in the OP picture, so they changed at least that, no idea if they changed the type of plastic.
>>103258434>> replacement parts cost 20if something isn't at least $100 to fix you know you boughted poorfag shitmiss me with that hobo-tier 770 """pro""", I'll stick with my AirPods Max
>>103262335Maybe stop yanking them off your head in an autistic rage with your retard strength.
>>103263206>gayest bait award
1990s for a decade, no worriessounds like a skill issue to me, OP
>>103258434same shit happened to mine, duct tape works
>>103258434adapt and overcome
>>103258434i got u op. 1. go here:> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:831032> https://www.yeggi.com/q/beyerdynamic+slider/2. Go to your cities main library which have free 3D printer servicest.owner of many bayers who bought official super expensive repair kit once and felt like a clown and declared never again
why do so many people own this brand if it has such dogshit qc?
>>103263579its not the qc at fault is it retard
>>103263579for the price range nothing beats the soundstage. These and the 990s were the meta for ultra sweat gamers but IEM's with complicated equalizerAPO+voicemeeter setups have taken over. thank you based china audiophiles
>>103263603sure seems like it if they're breaking left and right.
>>103263603>quality control>not to blame for lack of quality
>>103263579Fiio ft1 didnt exist in the past and competition like k371 look fugly and are cheaply built
>>103263732i remember reading they they moved their production out of germany some years ago to romania or someshit. that's when the flood of bad quality posts started or maybe I only noticed them then... maybe they've always just been poorly designed?
>>103263579>qcNigga you don't even know what that means. The plastic breaks after a bit because it's cheap. I feel it's almost intended so paypiggies keep buying official replacements. I can just print up new ones in a few minutes, so nbd.
>>103263747so... you mean to say they're built cheaply... almost like their build quality is poor or something...
>>103263757Quality control issues implies something isn't up to the quality they expect, as I mentioned, this is intended and meets the quality they expect. It's okay, you're brown. I didn't expect you to understand.
>>103263953>it's okay because it's built like shit on purposeweird cope.
same thing happened to my razer blackshark ~2mo after purchase with normal use. JB Weld and it's good.
>>103263982No you brown thing, I pointed out that it wouldn't be a qc issue because this is the intended quality. I pray you jump off a bridge or get deported.
>>103258434my 770s were in pretty much perfect condition after five years then one of my pet rats chewed through the cable in five seconds…
>>103264043so why would someone buy a brand with poor qc on purpose?
>>103261512This. You have to pick up both cups at the same time to not stress the hinge. It requires some muscle memory to do it properly initially but afterwards you’ll do it properly every time. Never grab just one cup with one hand.
>>103263743K371 are only 5 (?) years old, tooDT770 have been around for decades
bumpen this gem
>>103258434my DT 990 pros are 3 years old and I've never had a problem. Try not being a gorilla.
>>103258434I only had problems with the headband and ears falling apart. You must get your tard strength under control.
>>103258434hd-25 is the way to go. 14 years of service and still no issues (replaced only ear pads once)
>>103258434My DT 770 pro are 8 years old and I only thing I had to do was replace the earpads (went from velour to leather, despite sounding better I couldn't bear how yellow from hair grease the velour can get).
>>103258434Skill issue.I've got mine for 5+ years and it's still as good as new.
>>103263743I was so ready to buy the FT1 or FT1 Pro then I realised they need 2 audio cables to run, can't imagine having cables running down my lap instead of just going off the side of my chair, seems awkward
>>103258511Which? Please show pic and its current condition.
>>103258434DT770 is overpriced, you can get most of the same sound with the Superlux HD600 Pro
>>103258434i had mine for 3 years and they seem fine.the fake leather isn't stuck to the padding anymore but it's still in one piece and i can easily get a cheap replacement from china.when i wanted to replace the headband cushion on my sennheisers i couldn't get it anywhere. i couldn't even clean the old one, it was glued in.
>>103264076you are on /g/ and you can't solder? any local electronics repair shop could do it for pennies
>>103258434These plastic parts are cracked on mine about 6 years ago. The fit is not as tight as it used to be but I don't mind it. Someone once sat on my dt770s. I had to take them apart and bend the metal brackets.
>>103263034Wow, you're right. They put a cunny symbol on that part now.Based.
>>103258434buy cheap gamer headphones, nigger. you'll end up replacing them 2 years down the road anyway.>b-but muh audio qualityCheap "Gamer" headphones offer sound quality on par with high end studio headphones.
>>103258434I bought the DT1990s in early 2020, just before the pandemic hit.Been using them every day since then and have had no issues.What have you been doing with your pair?
>>103263547How people use the 990 shrill shits DAILY is beyond me.It's like poking your ears with knifes.
>>103261840>>>replacement part is the entire fucking headband assembly which costs 80 this gay shit gotta end phones are the worst for it
>>103258434>Beyer's remorse
>>103263731>>103263732almost like they're to spec when the quality control checks happen at the factory at the time they're made and not several years after its owners have used and broken them
>>103269070plenty of people have headphones for 10+ years. if you're paying a premium for anything headphones wise that isn't wireless it should last that long. just seems like a junk brand nowadays, maybe they had better build quality at one point but greed always wins.
>>103258550>>103258605Ideally don't use PLA. If yours broke within 2 years, chances are you leave them somewhere where UV radiation weakened the plastic, PLA will have the same issue (then again a print every 2 years isn't a big deal). If you have UV resistant filament, use that instead.
>>103269193This, use a high infill percentage and print out of PETG (or ideally ASA if you have the option) for best results.
>>103269193I'll try reprinting them in something a bit stronger when/if they break, but I've printed fightpads(buttons included) that are still in use today after a year or so in PLA.
>>103258550I know there used to be a guy that manufactured these out of metal instead of plastic, no idea if he's still around.
>>103264076If you can't repair that, you shouldn't be on /g/. Go learn to solder.Fixing broken wires has saved me hundreds of dollars over the years and potentially weeks of waiting on replacements/servicing.
>>103266933you know the cable splits like 30cm from your cans and is one cable from there to the amp
>>103266933I want to fuck her cunny
>>103266933^thiscomplete total dealbreakerit's 2024, 15$ jbl headphones have a single fucking cable, why is this shit still a thing on expensive audiophool cans
>>103264076Perfect opportunity for a removable/replaceable cable mod
are AIAIAI TMA-2s good? No hinges to break, it seems, but I have no idea about the actual build quality or sound
>>103271822Chinks are obsessed with the appearance of repairability because they get scammed so often by their own shit products. So you see ridiculous design choices which actually impair reliability like headphones with ear cups connected by free float 3.5mm plugs or keyboards with socketed switches.
>>103272532they don't even offer replacement earpads, the repairability on those things is less than 0, how would a double-sided cable improve things?>inb4 what if the headband cable breaks!!!beyerdynamic solved this """issue""", see picrel.
>>103267702>>103271597soldering is too scary. i need someone with better hands to do it for me.>>103271937 i’m keeping the headphones just in case for this reason though.
>>103268792iunno what you mean, they sound great
>>103272767I never said it did retard.
>>1032584342 years later sounds like an exaggeration unless you're raping your headphones, but yeah i have 2 sets of dt770s and the older pair (~10 years old) had very deep cracks with chunks of plastic falling out until i replaced them recently. i think they're good headphones otherwise so i don't understand why they do this. same with audio-technica's m50s too, although it's probably even worse in that case because i don't think you can buy replacement parts
if you can't afford the upkeep don't be surprised when shit falls apart. Do you say the same thing when your sheets are dirty?
>>103258434I've had them for 10-15 years
>>103272879>soldering is too scary Tbh it's not too hard, you can buy practice kits online. Just don't be afraid of heat and using lead solder.
a bud of mine went to Japan and tried these headphones on, he forgot ID them while he was there, so can anyone ID them with picrel?
>>103274375looks like this >>103272248
>>103274570jesus christ, all i had to do was scroll upthanks btw
>>103258434if you bought them after the Y aids rebrand chances are your beyers aren't so built like a tank anymore, thankfully I own three built before this time
>>103258434my hd560s has been going strong for almost 3 years now and i have dropped it like 5 times
>>103275107>Y aids rebrandWas about to comment, I've had my 770s for about 4 years and no wear at all despite near nightly use. Only had the speaker fail on me but the warranty covered the fix, just had to pay to ship it. The sides just say beyerdynamic))) then right > or left >
>swear off plastic pos headphones>get a hammock style>realize there's no oem replacement for the elastic bit after its gone slack so I need to make my ownfug
>>103264043people will say something retarded and then start pretending they can't understand when you explain their error, so it's like they were trolling in the first place (they weren't)people on this website are so fucking annoying
>>103261614Bullshit. HD555 crumbled at the exact same point, mine had more than sane amount of glue and tape to hold them together until they finally completely broke.
Just use IEMs. It gives a better experience. Loud cans and speakers just can't compete. With IEMs, you hear it all.
>>103276063>Only had the speaker fail on me but the warranty covered the fixyeah this is another beyer quality problemother headphones literally never get broken drivers, it just doesn't happen, drivers should (at least in theory) be pretty much indestructablebeyerdynamics are the only headphones where i keep reading about "yeah my left driver stopped working suddenly 3 years in", they even made them solderless in the new pro x models for this reason lolI think it has to do with the fact that they have extremely low power ratings compared to most other headphones (30mW peak vs 1500+mW on most studio headphones), so if your audio card has a sudden power spike for half a second (maybe temporary short while plugging in your 3.5 jack) your driver is cooked
>>103276903there's people who have had those for 20 odd years and they still work and aren't broke from misuse so. pretty okay run. i expect my sennheisers to last that long or longer too since i actually take proper care of them now.
>>103258434>buy 770 pros in 2017>non of this bullshit happens to me>replace ear cups due to age and thats ithave you tried not being a barely evolved gorilla and treating your shit with some modicum of respect?
>>103277067>It gives a better experienceAnything in-ear has been uncomfortable as fuck without fail for me. Hard pass.
>>103258434>>103258471Same
>>103280658>ear cupsit's called earpads, faggot.
All headphones fall apart if you wear them 12 hours a day every single day
My AD700s lasted for about 12 years before the plastic broke, due to the flimsy metal wire in them. Held it together with a bolt for a while, eventually upgraded to R70x which seem better built.
>>103283367the pads yes, but unless you're handling them like a spastic or throwing them in bags they shouldn't break.
>>103258434>believing /g/
My shp9500 have no sign of breaking and I use them constantly for years now. I have even ran over the cable with my chair countless times. And sure as hell never did this >>103264298 gay shit. I just take them off and hang them.How do so many of you have uncontrollable tard strength to break headphones so easily?
>>103258434They switched it to a cheaper part with poor quality plastic at some point. I have a 20 year old pair where they're like pic related and they show no signs of wear. Still in perfect working condition altogether.
>>103283868> ))))what did they mean by this?
>>103258434yeah i gave up on headphones and just bought speakers after this happened for the third time on 3 different brands of headphones.
>>103281851then why do both Linus and Dankpods call them earcupscheckmate atheists
>>103258434I strengthened them with zip ties and hot glue.
meanwhile my 4yr hd599's still going and my 10yo 558's just died from mould in storage and was on its 3rd set of cups
>>103271637Yes but that means the cable is resting on your chest and running down your side/off your lap to wherever it needs to go. A single cable just runs off to your side without ever touching you or being in the way
>>103288031You sound like a real casual when it comes to cable management. I went from a 1 wire to 2 wire headphones last year, it's no extra work because you cable tie them both up and over the headband (it's crazy how headphone companies KEEP putting the jack at the bottom, the worst place for it), and then you use your dog lead on a curtain rail to take the cable away into the sky where it will never bother you again. It's crazy to me that people can move their arms and snag on the cable and see no problem with it.
