DT-770 Pro 250 Ohm : I want to throw them out the window

5 years ago

I wanted to throw them out the window 10 times in the last week. Each time I controlled myself and tried to continue recording. Tonight in the middle of a session I had enough. They went for a little flight across the control room. Not sure if they work now.... It was 100% worth it!

My problem was not with the sound. That was ok (with some EQ). The problem is the cable. It's a heavy coil cable. It bounces around when you're tracking.

Tracking guitars it hangs off my shoulder and down the back of the chair but it's made of a kind of sticky rubber that gets caught on the shirt or caught on the chair at all times. I tried an extension cable, then it bounces heavily on the floor if I move at all. Same for vocals, unusable because of the cable coil noise that I cant get rid of. What a terrible design.

Everything else about these headphones and fine. They are comfortable and sound ok. But that cable is the worst. I have noises from that heavy dumb cable all over my tracks.

To reiterate. The sound is fine but I want to smash them.
