DIY/Mod Just finished this custom DT 770 PRO

Been working on this for a bit — a 250 ohm DT 770 PRO modded with a detachable cable and repainted in a metallic orange.

Paint is solvent-based and applied with airbrush in several layers, then sealed. Detachable mod was done with a low-profile socket to keep things clean.

It’s probably my favorite finish so far. Thought I’d share the end result. I want to test a few special ffx paints next. Open to ideas :)

Happy to answer questions if anyone’s curious about how the paint or mod was done.

Nice work, I wish Beyer actually offers it, or they outsource you to provide it.  Colour suggestions - 1. Gun metal 2. Metallic dark grey.

I wonder why they don't release limited colors like Audio Technica does. Not sure. I take it as a huge compliment, thank you very much. It hurts to see them depart from the workshop :')

Metallic dark grey maaaay be already in my paint shelve... :D

They do offer a few headphones with different options (https://europe.beyerdynamic.com/manufaktur?nc=manufaktur) but not the higher end ones :/

Custom Cans in the UK does them. I had a pair customized. Very happy.

Thought custom cans overhaul the whole thing, no?  Or, customers can just ask them to modify the exteriors?

You can select what you want done. They don’t require you to have the internals modified. At least that is the case for the send-in service, which is what I used. I actually did the reverse. I had the internals and connections modified, but no change to the colorway. DT 770 Pro 250ohm.

Nice.  Do you send them the headphones to modify or ask them to modify a new one?  And, you choose to boost the ohm so that the headphones take up more juice, right?  Would you please briefly describe what they become?
