Background: I have a collection of even older "goodish" headphones which I have kept alive with solder over the years. My teenage son recently started buying similar headphones, and they all have replaceable cables. This was me as well until my Yes, this wasIf you have bought a rea
I don't think the DT770 will be updated though. Recently Beyerdynamics released the DT 700 PRO X, which seem like the "successor" and they do have replaceable cords.
Can recommend. Can be bought for 100 euros.
2 bonus points: -the chord makes it much harder to lose the headset - when on a call, people around don't think you're someone losing it, having a discussion with yourself out loud

* Cheap * Better for the environment by a mile * Much harder to lose
The one downside is the damn tangled wire.
I like materials that resist bending after a fairly large minimum radius. More could be done IMHO.

EDIT: Some people in the comments seem to think this shortens the life of the cable, but I've never had problems with Apple earbuds or Bose headphones (that have a replaceable wire anyway).
EDIT2: Another advantage of wired headphones if you want the wire out of the way and to make them less visible: Just thread them through your shirt!
