Description
This is a modified pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 studio headphones, complete with dampened ear cups, mass loaded drivers, a 4-pin mini-xlr socket, and one of our custom ultra-low capacitance cables for unbalanced stereo input.
The modifications to the drivers and ear cups provide extended detail and control in the bass, to match the already crisp mids and highs. The addition of the 4-pin socket allows the cable to be detached, so it’s easier to use the headphones on a range of sources, while making them more portable and easy to store. We also change the wire around the headband that takes signal to the right ear cup, replacing it with paracord covered litz wire, which matches our custom cables and provides a lower capacitance for better timing and sound.
This pair comes with one of our audiophile grade, ultra-low capacitance cables with a mini-XLR at one end and a jack type and size of your choice at the other. This audiophile cable is made of four wire cores that are wrapped in paracord. Each core is made of 84 strands of individually insulated copper wire, which gives a lower resistance than most OFC cables (so less insertion loss). The capacitance for this cable varies depending on length and connector type, but is typically 7.5-40pF up to lengths of 2m. We have a range of colours that the cable can be made from as seen in the paracord list photo.
In addition to the balanced litz wire cable, we modify the stock cable with a 4-pin XLR, so the headphones can still be used out of the box on traditional 3.5mm or 6.35mm stereo equipment. This is cable is only included in the balanced version.
We also offer a range of optional extras including various coloured ear pads and a carry case from Beyerdynamic (the stock ear pads are grey valour).
All of our modified headphones are made to order. They will take between 2 and 4 weeks to make, then you will receive an email once they have been dispatched.

some guy that likes headphones (verified owner) –
Had a pair of DT 770s for a few years and decided to upgrade to these once the cable started developing a short. Very happy with the purchase as these sound great.
I’ll probably wind up buying the kits and modding my old pair so I have a set of spares.

TLDR: A tremendous combination of value, audio quality and durability.
I’ve been interested and involved in headphones and audio equipment for about 7 years now. Having run through the gambit of closed and open back headphones along with all the related equipment.
My first major purchase of headphones were a set of moderately priced closed backs and I really wanted to like them but they were lacking in tonal balance and soundstage openness. I resigned myself to being an “open back” listener from there on and focused my purchases based on that style equipment. However over time it became evident in my living situation (wife does not care for all of my audio tastes) that I would have to have a set of closed back cans on hand for certain situations and being generally a considerate human being.
My biggest factors in choosing audio equipment are:
* Audio quality with realistic and enjoyable sound stage delivery.
* Dollar to performance ratio- I don’t have unlimited thousands of dollars of funds to frivolously throw at this hobby.
* Repairibility- It is important for me to choose sustainable repairable products.
After researching a multitude of options for closed backs in the sub $600 price range I ended up very interested in the Beyerdynamic 770’s as they checked many of the boxes I listed above. I even had the availability to listen to a set (unmodded) and while they were fine I felt the bass was not there and the cable was not what I desired. This of course led me to the internet to see what course of mods I would e able to perform myself and found my way to CC.
Long story short, I’ve tried all three variants of these headphones (unmodded, V2, V3). To my listening tastes the V3 mod on these headphones is excellent in everyway. The base is much more present but not boomy, the soundstage is opened up to a lovely level without feeling artificial, the sound and response is exactly what I was after.
The build quality and cable are consistent with the audio quality, the headphones feel sturdy and comfortable on my head for long periods of time. I’ve opened them up and confidently could repair or replace anything within them. The litz cables are pliable and sound great. Ends are made to what I would expect for a professional modification, no rough edges or gaps. Everything is put together very well and I would have no problem recommending these to anyone.
The Custom Cans DT770 ubers are among my favorite headphones and will remain in my collection for many years- 5/5 Stars.
