Dave Vader Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Anybody know of somewhere I can send a set of now-dead headphones to to be fixed for not too much cash? (or if you know somebody in mid-Devon I could take them to) My knackered old beyerdynamic openbacks have stopped putting out any sound, and I don't want to shell out hundreds for a new set. Also, mixing on my closed back headphones is proving problematic (just like recording with the openbacks used to be) All help gratefully received.

MoonBassAlpha Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 If both channels have stopped working, then I'd suggest either the cable or plug has suffered trauma. It's unlikely both sides would have stopped working simultaneously. Do the Beyers have a removable cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 That's what I thought, and no, they don't. Will need internal tinkering, and a bit small for me to bravely wade into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm tempted to give it a go. What is the exact model?. I guess, being Beyer, they are reasonably serviceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 I will look at the model number next time I walk past them (have been forgetting to for a few days now) already lost the original cradle (I made one out of some broken sony headphones and coathangers) and the material inside has perished away a long time ago. There's a D in it though, will get back to you with hope in my heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Yeah - need to know the model to judge whether worth the likely repair cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Sorry for late reply, been all over the place recently. They are beyerdynamic DT511s which I have had lying about for about 20 years. If that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
