It happened...

this is kinda well known issue with a lot of beyerdynamic headphones, that part of plastic is just absolute garbage material, and on top of that the adjusting length causes some tension on that plastic too, I do get sad too when they cracked on mine beyers :(

Headphone Lab and Minimeters

Sorry, maybe the post was not clear enough. I thought you were referring to the mix sounding different after export because the process was left on. If instead you are referring to the process altering the mix while you work, so you cannot hear the mix in its original form, then I have to say that y

Nyt gaming headset

jeg var SÅ skuffet, for selve kvaliteten af materialer føltes faktisk ganske fint, men lyden og deres pisse elendige software er bare et no go men videre må man bare, ville gerne at BeyerDynamics lavede et lækkert gaming headset til en 400€ ca, som ikke var rent plastik lol

Broke my hinge

If it's the sliders you're talking about, then you can get replacements directly from Beyerdynamic if they ship to you. You can also find 3D printed versions as well on sites like eBay and Etsy. These are supposedly stronger than the original ones. The sliders breaking/cracking is a common failure p

Cracked headband - DT 900 Pro X

Regrettably the DT 900 and DT 700 Pro X models seem to have no end of materials problems. I got spontaneous cracking on my earcup on the DT 900 Pro X, narrowly within warranty, but now they're both out and I'm just dreading when they start falling apart. It's stopped me dead from investing any more

DT 700 Pro X's are a timebomb

I feel the Pro X line has materials and design flaws compared to the older DT-880/770/990 Pro lineup and the Edition models. Gonna be honest, though I have always loved the Beyer sound, having my DT 900 Pro X spontaneously develop that crack by the XLR (even though they swapped it for me under warra

DT 770 Pro X or DT 700 Pro X

The headband thing on the 700 was a design defect that Beyerdynamic found and fixed after about a year of selling the headphones. They haven't fixed anything. Even the new version doesn't last much longer. I'm already on my third replacement headband for my three year old DT900 Pro X.

"Echoey" sound quality on new headphones

Indeed, the 4k dip accentuates the 1-2k boost even further. That said, a 4k dip in itself is quite common in headphones (or at least headphone measurements). A 4k dip alone would not cause this. Based on this measurement this is a really badly tuned headphone for its price. But Beyerdynamic usually

Can’t mix properly on Beyerdynamic DT 1990 MK2 – everything sounds ‘fake’ and hard to read

Perhaps those headphones just don't work for you? I know I personally can't stand Beyerdynamics. Way too bright with extremely uneven and spiky treble. Then again I've heard some ok roughs I know are mixed using Beyers, so it clearly can be done. Just not for me. I've not heard the mk2s, but I've li
