I start with a new pair of DT770/80, then implement my sound and aesthetic modifications with your choosing of one of my different exotic woods. I transform a borderline (IMO) stock pair of cans into a world class set of headphones. With their redesign to version four, a number of things in both categories have changed.

Sound wise, the amount and quality of midrange over previous versions (and significantly over stock) to my ears, is almost startling to me. Mids described as meaty and well fleshed out by a trusted listener, I would agree totally.

These have the vibe I was hoping for when engineering these, and for awhile thought was unachievable. These have a new interior design, including a set of Korina sound chambers inside. Those have added the magic to the mids, Korina being excellent for mid tones. Lows and highs seem just right to me in too. I'll say it again, I think these are…  SWEET!

A decent source and Solid State amp are needed to realize their potential. I have not tried these personally with tubes, but I do know that past versions do not excel as they do with SS. 

I recommend ((( V4 ))) 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. ((( V4 ))) are now my favorite closed can at any price, and really a heck of a value IMO.

((( V4 ))) also have a new slant to the lower portion of the wood sides, along with an Abalone dot marker on their left top side. Makes it easier to determine left side when putting them on.

A break-in period of 100-125 hours is recommended for performance potential to be reached. Terminator ((( V4 ))) is BlackCopper, BlackMax, BlackCrystal, BlackTop or my fave, BlackGold upgradeable, along with pad and termination variables (plugs). Each ((( V4 ))) will come with a headphile COA.

A new pair of DT770/80 are already added into the appropriate pricing options below, so these are "plug and play" ready. If you want to send your DT770/80 Pro to me for modding into a V4CS with a $160 discount, go below to Terminator V4CS. For recables only (down page) you'll have to send your headphones to me.

Bottom Left Pic… shows a more basic T-V4 compared to an optioned version. The right T-V4 has black leather headband, splitter and CJC with Neutrik 1/4" plug (and leather pads, which are not available for direct order).

Leather headband update (for previous original purchasers of Darth Beyer V3, VXD3 or Terminators)… If you are the original purchaser of one of those just mentioned, then you have the option of purchasing a leather update for your headband (as shown on right side of pic directly above). You will either need to send in your cans, or just the headband (and pay shipping both ways). The update leather is not for self install, as even I struggle somewhat to put them on properly and look good. If I had the machinery to make an all in one pad system that was simple to just snap on and sell them to anyone, I would... but I don't. If you bought your Beyer cans from someone other than me, leather is not available for you, sorry...

Beyer Recable Service…

I offer dual entry recables for all models of 770/880/990 (no extra internal mods) using whichever Series and up to 2.0 meter length and desired termination (including balanced). This is also the price for a recable of used Darth Beyer V1, V2, V3, VXD3 or Terminator. Sometimes the previous owner didn't read "proper care of cables" on FAQ page :-)

If you are the original purchaser of any of those, you have a "one time" option of a half price credit towards a new cable. The new cable can be a different Series, length and termination, (though the credit is based on the original cable value only). This also applies to most all other cables I have built.

Terminator V4CS


Now you can provide your DT770 80 ohm Pro to me for modding into a V4CS, thus saving buying new headphones from me if you already have them.

"CS" in V4CS stands for "customer supplied". If you want me to use your pair of DT770/80, this is the page to use for ordering.

They must be a stock pair, and MUST be the 80 ohm Pro model.

Newer style 770, or 250-600 ohm are not acceptable.

Prices here are discounted $160 from V4 to reflect you providing headphones.

Black pads are more than V4, because I can't use your pads like I can from my new pairs. Same with leather headband. I would return your pads and/or headband pad if either or both are ordered.

V4CS will be built (and sound) identical to V4, though WON'T have an Abalone dot marker on their left top side like V4.

COA will also state them as a V4CS, so both these points together will be evidence to future buyers they are V4CS and not V4.

Terminator V4CS is BlackCopper, BlackMax, BlackCrystal, BlackTop or my fave, BlackGold upgradeable, along with pad and termination variables (plugs). Each V4CS will come with a headphile COA stating them as V4CS.

Darth Beyer V3CS


Now you can provide your DT770 80 ohm Pro style to me for modding into a V3CS, thus saving buying new headphones from me if you already have them.

"CS" in V3CS stands for "customer supplied". If you want me to use your pair of DT770/80, this is the section to use for ordering.

They must be a stock pair, and MUST be the 80 ohm Pro model style (which includes the old 250 and 600 ohm).

Newer style 770 are not acceptable.

Prices here are discounted $200 from V4 to reflect you providing headphones.

Black pads are more than V4, because I can't use your pads like I can from my new pairs. Same with leather headband. I would return your pads and/or headband pad if either or both are ordered.

V3CS will be built (and sound) identical to the old DEAL 18 V3.

COA will also state them as a Darth Beyer V3CS.

Terminator V3CS is BlackCopper, BlackMax, BlackCrystal, BlackTop or my fave, BlackGold upgradeable, along with pad and termination variables (plugs). Each V4CS will come with a headphile COA stating them as V3CS.
