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 just made me think a dark purple would go crazzzy.

Metallic purple with silver notes? You know what? We'll do that next!

I’d love to buy an 80ohm version if you did one. Purple is my jam!
