Hey everyone! I just re-cabled my 770s and I figured I should mention how it went.
I wanted a 3-pin mini-XLR jack, but you might want a 3.5mm or a 4-pin balanced mini-XLR. The soldering process was very easy for me, and this is coming from someone with very limited experience with hardware soldering. Of course you're voiding the warranty, but it's worth it to replace the long-ass cable and allow broken cables to be fixed, imho.
I got lazy near the end and hot-glued the jack in, since it wasn't fitting properly. A word of warning: put the jack as far to the back of the cup as possible, or the driver won't fit in. you might even want to grind down the side of the jack. Anyway, it's a little ugly, but it could be done cleaner by someone with more patience. Feel free to DM me on twitter if you want advice with any of it; I'm hardly a professional, but I like to think of myself as slightly competent. Slightly.
Products I used: Neutrik Rean RT3MP 3-pin mini-XLR jack (B&H): https://goo.gl/cEbsyq 1.5m braided 3-pin mini-XLR cable (Amazon): https://goo.gl/DF46TH Dekoni Premium Sheepskin Ear Pads (Massdrop): https://goo.gl/jbJoXm (Amazon): https://goo.gl/9VPvB2
Pictures of the results are on my insta, if you're interested: https://goo.gl/tZeRL1
Also, here's a diagram showing the correct pin polarity for a 3-pin XLR:

Good luck to anyone else planning on trying this and thanks for your time :)
