Changing cables on fixed (not interchangeable) headphones requires the headphones to be opened. So only do that if:

 

- you're ready for the warranty to be void

- you're confident in dealing with small and fragile stuffs

- you got a decent skill in soldering

- you're ready if everything goes south, and the headphone ended up 'bricked'

 

I did my share of mistakes. Wrecked a driver on my HE-400, ended up shelling almost $100 for it to be replaced with a refurbished one. Wrecked the headphone amp part of my Aune T1, ended up shelling $50+ for replacement parts.

Ouch that seems like a lot of work, I'm decent at soldering but wouldn't wanna risk it with something worth $300.00, if only Beyerdynamic had a service that did this.

They have those, the premium version is straight cabled. 

 

Might want to browse around head-fi to find someone who accept headphone modding.

Yeah, that's probably my best option.
