Darth Beyer Repair, make my decision, win 1$

Which route should I take? 1 member has voted

  1. 1. Which route should I take?

    • Buy 1 dt770-250 ohm driver to replace the one, fix it myself (with help) or send it to a DIY guy to do it for me
      41%
    • Same as above, but send it to larry.
      16%
    • Send to Larry to redriver both sides with 80 ohm drivers (many people consider these superior). This will be a little $$$ out of pocket for me, but have virtually new DB's for a very reasonable price.
      25%
    • Trade them "as-is" for a nice little source, then work on getting a decent home amp for my HF-1'

Ok, I hate making decisions, and I hate having broken headphones.

There is a bit of a rattle in the right side of my maple Darth Beyers. I'm thinking it is either a driver, a hair, or (doubtful, but maybe) a slight defect in the wooden cup assembly. I have a few options, as the seller has reimbursed me a very reasonable amount to go towards rectifying my problem.

Option 1: Buy 1 dt770-250 ohm driver to replace the one, fix it myself (with help) or send it to a DIY guy to do it for me

Option 2: Same as above, but send it to larry.

Option 3: Send to Larry to redriver both sides with 80 ohm drivers (many people consider these superior). This will be a little $$$ out of pocket for me, but have virtually new DB's for a very reasonable price.

Option 4: Trade them "as-is" for a nice little source, then work on getting a decent home amp for my HF-1's

If I choose your opinion, and you are the first one who says it (or maybe everyone), i'll paypal you 1$, or not, we'll see.

Thanks for the help guys.

Do you like the DBs? Personally I'd get some drivers and send it to a DIYer...

Email Larry and ask how hard it would be for you to open them up yourself and have a look. He may be able to assist and you might be able to fix these headphones for free.

Send to larry, have him give you your options. If it's going to require spending more ask him to buy them from you so he can repair and resell.

Option 1. Why didn't you make this a poll?

b/c that would have been too easy... and I've been up for about 36 of the past 40 hours, and not thining straight... That's why.

Get a new DT770-250 driver, replace it yourself.

Have Larry do it, you'd probably break it. (no offense) ;)

Where's my dollar? ;D

Yikes, I voted for the wrong one! I'm also going to suggest having it sent to Larry and asking for options on what can be done.

Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! :dance: :dance: ;D

Just to let you guys know, I've already talked to larry, and pretty much, these are the options he through out. We know something is wrong, (the seller and I), and he has made it right. I hear that re-doing the driver would be easy, but I think I'd rather pay to have a pro do it. By pro, I mean someone who's may, I don't know, removed and replaced a driver before, or at least soldered. I know it probably wouldn't be that hard, but I've run back and forth with larry on a few different options, and pretty much, they're laid out.

I'm worried about the 1 driver replacement option, mismatched drivers and whatnot. I hear the 80 ohm ones are better, but I've not heard 'em, I don't know. Anyways... I'll make a decision one of these days.
