Beyer DT100's - Buzz with piano music and recording

Jul 04, 2009

- OK maybe taking them to pieces isn't such a good idea, after disconnecting the ear piece and then reconnecting it I get nothing, I traced the buzz down to in the actual speaker itself but now I get no sound from it at all, which makes precisely no sense. To decide if the speaker had completely died or weather I had caused some stress to a contact or wire I disconnected the other speaker from the left headphone so as to test the right speaker on the left.... same thing happened with the left speaker, when I plug it back into the contacts I now get nothing from that one as well! So now I have no sound from either side, it quite simply is illogical, ridiculous, all common sense states this should not be the case. The only thing that I think it can be is something to do with the contacts... assumable when they are removed and reinserted they are not making contact with the inner contacts of the speaker units!? bit ridiculous for supposedly such great industry standard headphones that you can replace any part of.... clearly they are not so well designed for self-repair as they claim to be. I've also tried wiring the speaker units into a different headphone set, still no sound from the speaker units of the DT100's.... any advice greatly appreciated, as now they are pretty much useless, though I seem to have removed the buzz...... ... .. . :p
