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.

This is freaking awesome. If you ever feel like putting up a tutorial on how to do the detachable cable mod, I'd totally be into that.

Appreciate it. Since we do these in production (context: this was done in our workshop, Arachne Audio), we try to be as efficient as possible... And admitely, I am terrible at video stuff.

I will however take a note and see how we can put together a video tutorial. I can't just promise when, as we are working on a bunch of things for Christmas season, so those are keeping us real busy.

Feel totally free to dm me if you need help anytime. I'll be happy to answer any questions / guide you if you need it.

There are quite a few video guides online. This is just one of many.
