> [@Rawree](#): > > Hello! > > I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask my question, but I purchased a pair of dt 770 pro 80 ohms a few years ago and quite like them. However, the faux leather holding the earpads on has began to crack. Are the replacement earpads available on bd’s site ( [EDT 770 VB eard pads | beyerdynamic](https://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/p/edt-770-vb?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=14138194536&gbraid=0AAAAADtIjtETj-gZvT9vCgGZbGOfx1BV0&gclid=CjwKCAiA-__MBhAKEiwASBmsBI0AkU5snUEIN-CMbX1E5tPZdswfPA9srB2r6RCgX9Rrw1Kg1iz82hoCVesQAvD_BwE) ) the same as the stock ones? Thank you in advance for any help. Oops! Didn’t see your question. Beyer sells replacement earpads. But you can probably get them for less from their service/repair company Consolidated Sound Services. (I just ordered three new pairs from them, and received them in the mail today.) They also sell refurbished Beyer headphones at a discount. Beyer recommends heating the plastic lips of the earpads with a hair dryer so they’ll stretch more easily when you put the pads on. I always seem to have trouble putting pads on my DT770’s though. So I cut a little notch in the edge of the cups (like on my old AKG K553), to make it easier to just slide the pads on by turning them. Before putting them on, I also reinforce the seam on the inside of the earpads by sewing it with some sturdy thread. This helps prevent it from splitting apart there. If you order pads, be sure they include the circular foam filters that cover the drivers as well. Those also need to be replaced periodically. Be a little careful when you remove them because the plastic ring that holds the filter in place also holds the driver in place. There is also a general discussion of Beyerdynamic headphones here where you can post questions. > [@Beyerdynamic Headphones](https://forum.headphones.com/t/beyerdynamic-headphones/9404): > > This topic is for all things Beyerdynamic. There are a lot of models out there so I figured we could discuss them here. I’ll begin by giving some measurements of the DT 880 Premium 250 ohm. DT 880 Premium 250 Ohm: While the DT 880 250 ohm was one of the first ever ‘real’ headphones I’ve owned, I’m personally not a big fan of Beyer treble, but I know there are those who do like it. In general I have two primary complaints: Peaks at 6khz and 8khz - making this sibila… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.headphones.com/t/general-purchase-advice-ask-your-questions-for-advice-here/6620)._
