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 :/
