53 customers mention41 positive12 negative

Customers like the sound quality of the headphones. For example, they say the sound is full, realistic, and atmospheric. They also appreciate the detailed sound, and the incredible wide open sound stage. Customers also mention that the bass is colorful and the treble doesn't sound too hot. They are capable of playing classical and very complex music, and are very accurate with timbre.

"...They aren't edgy either though they give enough detail and air to sound fresh but mellow. Mellowness would be a figurative name for their behavior...." Read more

"...over 200 hours of break-in time (as does the HD800S) and sounds exceptionally clear as well as having a very smooth character and warmth in the mids...." Read more

"...Mids are great. Slightly recessed. They definitely give you a atmospheric sound because they aren't forward like a Sennheiser HD 6 series headphone...." Read more

"...The T1 sounds similar but does improve on the clarity, sound stage and imaging by a noticeable margin but not vastly different with similar tone..." Read more

18 customers mention18 positive0 negative

Customers appreciate the clarity of the headphones. They say it has a reputation for detail and resolution, and it has improved in mid-range detail. They also love the detailed mids and highs, and the bass is colorful. Customers find it easier to focus on separate details with the T1 than with the HD800s. The sound is crisp and clear without a hint of distortion, and is accurate in timbre and color.

"...Their personality, presentation and comfort make them very enjoyable. They are detailed, revealing and smoothly informative but not analytic...." Read more

"...and the smoothness quickly sound endearing because the highs are still very clear and I can still hear all the details I hear on the HD800S...." Read more

"...They have always had a reputation for detail and resolution, and they still are phenomenal, all while still retaining a musical tone...." Read more

"...The T1 sounds similar but does improve on the clarity, sound stage and imaging by a noticeable margin but not vastly different with similar tone..." Read more

"...aren't bothered by loose sub-bass, bloated lower mid-range, sucked-out upper mid-range, and uneven treble, you'll probably love this headphone...." Read more

Exceptional Detail
5 Stars
Exceptional Detail
First off: I bought these through Beyerdynamic-USA on Amazon. Beyerdynamic doesn't have the best customer service (or at least most helpful) so if I could give them a star rating it would be 2/5 stars. To add, I also payed extra for upgraded shipping and my T1s still ended up taking 2 weeks. Really disappointing Beyerdynamic.To start this off, I want to give a little background on this purchase. I purchased these in August of 2021 (these were discontinued for roughly a year now). Beyerdynamic Direct was selling three of them for $620 in the silver color so I had to jump on this! They sold the three within 24 hours, so I know there are many out there still interested in this headphone. For the price I got it for, I'm extremely satisfied.Build: On this headphone it really is what people say it is, great. I have Sennheiser 660S, Focal Elegia, and soon to own HD8XX (although I've owned a 800S before and I can say this headphone has such a unique build quality to it. I love it to be quite honest.Sound: I have felt like this headphone has received unfair coverage when it comes to its sound profile. When it comes to detail, it is still a king in that regard in the sub-$2000 range. Bass on these does not rumble, however it extends extremely well and quality is great. This headphone definitely has a high fidelity sound, so if you wanted something more impactful yet high quality, Focals would do the job for that. Mids are great. Slightly recessed. They definitely give you a atmospheric sound because they aren't forward like a Sennheiser HD 6 series headphone. There is great texture to the mids as well as detail and resolution. This headphone scales extremely well to different amps, so depending on what you own, that can really curve your perception of the kids with this headphone. Highs are somewhat same story here, it really depends on your gear. If you pair these with and iFI DAC or tubes, the highs will really tame themselves out. On a better solid state, they will just stick out a touch more. All in all, after running these for many hours (about 100 so far) the highs have really calmed down and gotten into place right where they should.All in all, there was one main reason why I wanted these in my music collection. They have always had a reputation for detail and resolution, and they still are phenomenal, all while still retaining a musical tone. It's sad that Beyerdynamic would stop producing such an exceptional headphone to only replace it with a downgraded 3rd generation. The 600ohm driver in this headphone will be legendary for a long long time to come. I was extremely happy to buy these new in late 2021 new from Beyerdynamic direct. This headphone is a detail monster with a now nostalgic factor to it.
