DT770/80's have mucho bass but lack in the midrange stock (among other things). I woody, recable and tweak them till they become "V3 Darth Beyers". Plenty of bass with more mids and taming of the high end by the time I am done converting them. They turn into an excellent high end pair of cans. A recable only is not going to be a V3, I'd recommend waiting for the gusto.
V3 is BlackCopper, BlackMax, or my fave BlackGold (innards) and wood cable junction and/or splitter upgradeable (wood plug cover no longer available).
Black pads are optional (with DEAL 18 only). I have DT770 80 ohm in stock (DEAL 18 only). Check DEAL 18 headphone deals page. Also, that's the only place to get deep version, adjustable, Private Stock woods and other custom variations (some of which are pictured below) in a pre-built separate deal (other than DEAL 18). You can't order those customs direct, period :-)
Open and open with covers (similar to Snakewood pic below). Only this time they are set up as V3 (with stealth screens) and optional covers are magnetic. I personally prefer solid closed overall, but others have found opposite. Which will you like best? Who knows but you...
I recommend V3 highly, as a headphone with enough bass to sound real and speaker like, unlike many headphones that can't produce a credible bass to my ears. The V3 are my favorite closed can under a grand and really a heck of a value IMO. If you are a musician, have experienced live music, then I would guess you'll find these an enjoyable listen… If you've been raised on cheap headphones, or even good ones that suck in the bass department (which are plenty IMO), you will probably need some time to adjust to these more real world sounding cans. Many report a break-in period of 100-125 hours is essential to V3's performance potential.
'05 (new version/look 250 ohm 770's) will not, and can not become V3, but rather a different sounding Luke SkyBeyer (you supply the cans for those). There's a couple of pics of them below. 880/990 are not included for wood mods, other than cable. Speaking of which, both sound much better to my ears with BlackGold than stock...
Older version 250 ohm have more high end and less bass… While I normally would only suggest a SS amp for V3's, the 250 ohm older version may be best paired with tube amps.
