Beyerdynamic DT700 Pro X tear down. A look inside beyers new closed backed studio headphones 

Thanks ;)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, i really enjoy doing them

Yes they do seem to put a lot of thought into durability and making them user serviceable. They were doing it long before "right to repair" was cool ;)

Lol... I normally get it the other way round... I buy expensive toys in order to tare them apart to see how they are made ;)

someone needs to do it so that the rest of us can have the good video...

⬆⬆⬆ What this guy said ⬆⬆⬆

@@CustomCans well im here from my main page so mission accomplished 👍🏽👍🏽

Ah I learnt a lot of this stuff off RU-vid videos from people like AvE so I am glad to be adding to the knowledge pile

Sounds like you have done a lot more work on these than I have so far ;)

Hi, did it work, did it bring more detail and sound stage?

@@brunovalente2077 yeah, replacing those thick foam rings made biggest difference and its fully reversible

@@xxQbeXxx yes, I will try today actually. thank you. So do you prefer over the dt770?

@@xxQbeXxx I did it it sounds superb now love it, Now I prefer over the dt 770 80 ohms I had. You can check my other coment for my opinnion. Thanks for the tip.

Love you too ;)

Thanks

I have broken many headphones over the years ;)

Yes it should be out in april, we will get one in when they are available

Yes the DT700 and DT900 drivers are interchangeable without the need to re-solder anything. If you are handy with a soldering iron, DT770, DT990 and most of the larger beyers will also fit the same drivers.

@@CustomCans thanks!

I will be having a play with them soon and see if there are any improvements to be made

@@CustomCans I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

well, I just did it, inow the 700 pro X sounds superb, I love it. Magically all the highs come out and also mids. Surprisily they have more High Spectrum then the 770, and still keeping the tigh and definided bass as with the original foams. What I did was removing completely that thick gray circle foam in the front of the drivers and replace it with other one thiner. When I compare AB with the 770, this ones are clearly more v shape, the 770 have more low mids but surprisely less highs, and in this ones the mid highs are superior and in general all frequencies are well defined and separated. Encorage everyone to try it, its very simple to dismount and replace. For my genre, Electronic music I love the signature and the kick and bass punch its so more satisfying to listen to, and now, why Beyerdynamics take this bussiness decision of shipping it originally that way, its still a mystery for me, because the drivers are littery a much more advanced and better technology then the 770 990 series. By the way I am using the dt 770 pro 80 ohms.

I am having so much fun with it as I long time dont have listen to dace electronic music so good as I am experiencing with theese. I srongly encorage you to try the tunning, and let us have a mod kit for the 700 pro x ones, I will buy, if you got it right, because can sound really top class with a right tunning, man. Thank you. I am using home made kitchen towel with foams of older headphones to do it, I wish I could have a professional one to use.

some days latter I am back to the origina ones, this sound so good. I am not able to do a proper tunning filter with home made stuff, so I am using the originals. I wish you could make ones still more thin, but mantainning the same concept as the originals, keeping the inner smaller circle thicker then the rest. I was having a little bit of extreme mids so I decided to give a go to the beyrdynamics engenneers solution, well I understand now, GREAT JOB Guys.

Did removing the foam improve soundstage and airness?

@@gjokaledjon2 IT DOESNT work, the way the drivers are made need that kind of foam to balance it out, i tried and they sound very agressive in mids and highs without it afterall...I tried other homemade mods and nothing worked, the original are the best sound fit. I wish Beyerdynamics would realease a second alternative pads, but with homemade foams and material no way... they sound perfect to my ears original as it is...

Makes sense ;)

I am not really that much of an expert about specific models. I would ask on some forums as they normally have lots of helpful comparisons and advice

It seems unlikely but not impossible. You can contact beyerdynamic and see if they sell it separately, if not then you will just need to find some 2 core wire the same thickness and make your own

That is a good question... It looks like it will fit the older headband but I have not tried it. I may give it a go next week

They normally don't list it on the website until they have sold a few. Contact beyerdynamic directly and they should be able to give you a part number and a price

Lol.. Yes someone should definitely make a detachable cable mod for them. James wants to do a destruction test on the DT770 vs HD25 - dropping them off buildings and things to see what it takes to kill them.. It would probably make a good video

@@CustomCans Dankpods did a good durability test in his video about kids headphones. Definitely worth a watch for some inspiration lol.

@@CustomCans Include Sennheiser HD 560s as well

if i could suggest is to if possible return the 770's you just bought what you pay to have the 770's customised would be better just buy the newer updated 700/900 seris,i bought a customised pair of the 770's a couple of years ago & their work is excellent highly recommend them :)

@@mas0nit3 My 770s were £55 used with new pads. Damping kit was only about £14. Way better bargain than the 700 pro X.

Yes, i will be doing that on this pair when i put them back together next week

I have herd a few people mention that, Maybe we will see if we can get some spares in just in case

Get the Beyerdynamic MMX 150 third party headband instead. Those are super cheap and they fit perfectly, the quality’s the same.

I am rubbish at comparing headphones. The DT700 have better bass extension than the HD25 for certain but I have too much love for the HD25 to give an unbiased comparison

When I twist the wire sticking out on the top of the headphones on the right side, I hear some audio but it is not a fix.

@@luke8617 I think they have a 2yr warranty to I would get them repaired / replaced under that

You get more peaks in the treble

@@CustomCans Thank you very much for your kind response, I just bought some DT700 Pro X, I changed them for another MMX 300, I think I liked these DT700 Pro X better, but as you can see the change was good?... THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN !

Yes, That should have been possible - perhaps we can have a go at making that in the future

Certainly won't happen from DT. Theyd want you to buy 2 if you want to Master on them 😄 Great earphones both for making music and general home use. Best earphones I have ever had. fantastic bas and very smooth up thru the mids and absolutely no harshness in the top and they practically play VERY loud on just about everything being it a standard PC, Iphone, keyboard etc. havent had anything I plugged into apart from a very old mixer that just barely made a peep no matter what we plugged into it If you have the money to go for the 700 Pro X over the DT 700 and don't already have a DT 700 32 ohm go for these.

Thanks, it is always good to get long term feedback. Recently we have herd a couple of people having issues with the headband
