Compared with its predecessor, the T1 stands out with an even more harmonically tuned frequency range and impresses thanks to even further enhanced tuning with an added touch of warmth and musicality that will delight discerning listeners. Moreover, a carefully intensified bass gives fans of contemporary music, in particular, the low-frequency foundation they are looking for. The integrated Tesla technology lends the second generation of the T1 optimal efficiency and together with a 600-ohm voice coil ensures extraordinary impulse fidelity.

Its conductors, made from ultra-pure OCC copper, are among the best the industry has to offer.

High wearing comfort - Ear indulgence with soft velour ear pads
A flexible headband and soft velour ear pads made from hollow fibre characterise the next generation of the T1. They transport warmth and moisture away from the head, enabling the listener to enjoy music for hours without any unpleasant build-up of heat. A memory foam layer beneath the velour cover makes the ear pads exceptionally soft.

The elegant appearance of the T1 rounds off the technical fine details. The open earcups covered with a delicate metallic grill and subtle colour shades round off the high-end appeal of this headphone model.

Mind you, they need a long burn-in. Nothing lower than 100 hrs will make them muffled. From 200 hrs on, you will see how the bass is controlled, the scale is fuller, dynamics are remarkable and everything gets balanced. I think they go a bit to the warm side, but very slightly, which is what I like. I don't personally like the warmness of Sennheiser HD6XX, for instance. Harshness is something you won't ever experience. 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. Their bass is not as textured as planar headphones, neither the scale but yet enough to enjoy earthshaking sounds when they show up and keep seamless coherence all through the bass line to the mids. You might find better in this department but you won't miss them either. Voices sound natural to me. Since the presentation is always relaxed, women's voices are specially evocative and charming. The soundscape is above average. Good enough to not miss others and only realize by comparison. Treble sounds are perfectly natural and textured. Only the personality of the tubes could change that, so give a try to a couple of brands and make your mind up. Their look is neat.
They are less bulky than the average. I live in Madrid (Spain) and I usually take the subway. I've worn my Beyers on my way to my job quite often and they aren't bulkier than most of the new closed over-ear BT headphones in the market. I don't care too much about people, but they aren't amazed or shocked by my look at all. My set up is diverse. They match perfectly with my Chord Hugo2-Little Dot IV SE combo either with Mullard, Volstock or GE tubes though I prefer whatever of the last two. They also sound equally well with my Questyle CMA600i (such good convenient dac/amp btw). If I use only the Chord Hugo2, as I do when I'm working, I miss a fullest sound. I think it is a part of the nature of the Hugo 2 and a bit of lack of juice to squeeze the Beyers and their high impedance. Not big deal.
I especially enjoy them listening to Jazz, Acoustic music or small chamber music groups. Their personality, presentation and comfort make them very enjoyable. They are detailed, revealing and smoothly informative but not analytic. They aren't the kind of headphones that invites you to take apart the layers of the music or to focus on each small sound. If you want to, you will find them. It just so happens that you will find much more enjoyment in the overall presentation and the music itself.
Did I mention that they are very comfortable? Ha. Yes, they are. They are able to do well whatever. There are better headphones in each aspect and department, but these Beyers can perform well enough to forgive them for not being the best. My Fidelio X2 are easy to move with whatever device, terrific at entertain and less than half the price though V-shaped, my Hifiman HE560 sound natural, bass is seamless, scale is awesome though they are hungry and need a powerful amp with lots of meat. my Focal Clear are close to perfection, luxurious, cute and amazing in every possible sense though twice the price. The Beyers T1 2nd are like looking at the sunset, drinking a glass of wine and feeling you won't miss anything else for a while. Yes, there are many other enjoyable cans around, but these deserve a place among the best money can buy without getting skinny. They are good mellow fellows.
pdt.- Excuse me, if my English is not good enough. I hope this helps others to make their minds up.
I had already purchased the Sennheiser HD800S and the Hugo which I'm extremely happy with. But I wanted a second headphone to use with the Hugo's multiple headphone jacks to enjoy music together with my wife. I did not want to get another HD800S - not because of budgetary reasons (although that certainly had to be considered) but because I wanted something different. I did not want to spend more than what I did on the HD800S like on an Audeze LCD-3 or Stax SR-009. If possible, I wanted something that was as of a high quality as the HD800S but different and if it cost lower so much the better.
So after looking at various offerings from reputable headphone vendors, I decided the T1 2g would fit the bill. My expectations weren't as high for this set of headphones as I had for the HD800S. Based on the reviews I read, I expected it to be mellower, warmer and smoother than the HD800S, which has a reputation for being bright and brilliant. I personally prefer to hear more emphasis on the high-mids and treble so the HD800S was right up my alley and I wrote a detailed review of it as well. I absolutely love the HD800S but wanted something different that would be complementary.
It's quite interesting to hear the differences of high-end gear from different manufacturers and how they "voice" their products. I've noticed that all Sennheiser headphones and ear pieces have a certain voicing as do the headphones and IEMs from the likes of AKG, Sony, Klipsch, Shure and Jerry Harvey Audio. I also own the JH Audio Layla custom IEMs and the Shure SE846 for mobile usage. They all sound vastly different although they all sound good in their own ways. So the T1 2g definitely piqued my interest. After several weeks of "should I get this?" I finally ordered it.
Without a doubt, it's a completely different beast from the HD800S. Compared to the HD800S, the T1 2g is smoother in the high-mids, have a more accentuated low-mids, and a slightly "wider" yet diffused bass while retaining a very clear and silky high-end. As I had expected, it's mellower and doesn't have as great of a soundstage or the "3D" depth of the HD800S. If the soundstage can be drawn like the face of a clock, the T1 v2 certainly has the "width" from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock but not quite the depth of noon setting to 6 o'clock.
Going back and forth from the HD800S to the T1 v2 through the Hugo playing DSD and high-res FLAC files, the T1 v2 almost sounds muffled initially but the warmth 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. Everything sounds a little different because the EQ curves of each respective headphone is different but it is about what I expected. I didn't want another HD800S.
I'd say the T1 2g is more comparable to the AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition headphones that I've owned for some years and which I've now passed onto my son. The edges of the notes on a piano's lower register are smoother while the HD800S exhibits a more "cutting" or defined quality. Some people pan the HD800S for this and say it's too trebly and bright and that it causes ear fatigue. I can understand that but that has never bothered me. At the same time, the T1 2g's smoothness is quite pleasant as well. The separation between the instruments is superb and I can still hear all the details.
If I had to choose between the HD800S and the T1 2g I'll go with the HD800S due to its greater clarity and soundstage depth but, fortunately, I don't have to do that and I can take turns alternating between the two depending on my mood. For classical symphonic or concerto music with large orchestras (think Beethoven, Schubert, Wagner, Mahler, Dvorak, etc.), I'm inclined to go with the HD800S. For jazz and small ensemble kind of music I'm more than happy with the T1 2g. For rock, pop, metal and intimate folk kinds of music, either would be fine but I may very well choose the T1 2g for something like 'Come Away With Me' by Norah Jones. From an ambience viewpoint, the HD800S is more like hall reverb while the T1 2g is more like a warm room or chamber reverb.
All in all, it's a great set of headphones and I love it. It now has well 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. For me, it's a great complement to the HD800S and I'm more than happy to use it while my wife uses the HD800S through the Hugo DAC. If you're in the market for only one, I do think you need to consider if you prefer "bright/brilliant" or "warm/mellow" before making a choice.

The case for this pair of headphones is really big and made of suede. The quality of that case is impressive.
The quality of these headphones is beyond belief. Finally Beyerdynamic has hit it with this pair. I come from owning your everyday headphones such as beats (it was a gift I promise!) and several v-moda headphones.
The price quality ratio is high. You get what you pay for.
This pair of headphones was to be used for working out (yes you heard it right) and at home. Unfortunately it did not generate a loud enough sound when connected to a mobile device. So if you’re looking for a top notch/super high quality for any activity other than sitting at home connected to an amp, you should consider a different pair of headphones. This isn’t it.
The soundstage is phenomenal. You hear every single instrument. I finally get it. I get why audiophiles look for soundstage. My go to song is November Rain to test any headphones.
I highly recommend this pair if you intend to use these only at home connected to a sound system or an amp.
Al momento de escucharlos me quedé bastante decepcionado porque la calidad del sonido para mi fue bastante mala, tengo unos dt990 250 ohms e incluso me gustaba mas el sonido de esos que los T1, no se como explicarlo, era como si tuviera un soundstage pequeñísimo, como si tuviera una pared o algo tapándolos y no producía una calidad de sonido decente, por ese precio y por las reseñas yo esperaba unos audífonos de tope de gama y de excelente calidad de sonido, pero no sonaba nada del otro mundo, y no se justificaba el gasto.
No se si fueron mis modelos en especifico pero no me agradaron y los terminé devolviendo.
Compré unos sundara de hifiman y nada que ver, con esos quedé encantado..... y mucho mas baratos.
Catena audio utilizzata; lettore cd Audio Analogue Paganini 192/24 rev. 2, amplificatore Little Dot MK III con cablaggio cavi interni van den Hul, valvole preamplificatrici Mullard CV 4010, cavi di alimentazione Isotek, cavo di segnale Van Den Hul The Second.
Molto consigliato.
Es war extrem eng zwischen dem Beyerdynamic T1 und dem HD800 von Sennheiser.
Wie der T1 den HD800 in letzter Sekunde überholt hat und wie der Rest sich gegen die beiden Top Kopfhörer geschlagen haben.
Normalerweise beurteilt man auch Tragekomfort usw, aber ich denke alle interessiert der Sound und Klang am meisten, deswegen werde ich ohne große Umwege und so kurz wie möglich direkt darauf eingehen. Wen es trotzdem interessiert, bis auf den AKG K701 ist der Tragekomfort aller Kopfhörer 4-5 Sterne, ohne Beanstandung - absolut Top! Der AKG 1-2 Sterne, schrecklich dieser Kopfband.
Etwas ausführlichere Rezensionen zu einige der genannten Kopfhörer stehen auch bei dem Produkt direkt, da hatte ich schon was geschrieben.
Ich hatte auch einige Kopfhörer mehr zum testen da, zB die Focal Ears (Bass stürzt bei gewissen Lautstärken einfach ab, hört sich kaputt an), der Sennheiser HD660s (ein super Allrounder), HD800s (nicht halbes, nichts ganzes - nicht gelungener HD800), DT 1770 - T5 - HD820 (alle geschlossen, nicht mein Ding),
selbst den Sennheiser Orpheus oder so heißt der, kostet 60.000€, habe ich 1-2 Stunden Probegehört (super klar, super sauber - fand aber den T1 und den HD800 besser - würde ich aber trotzdem nicht kaufen, selbst wenn er mir gefallen würde - Irrsinn so ein Preis :] )
So nun kommen wir mal zu den Gegenüberstellungen,
Der Beyerdynamic T1 ist ein absolut feiner und kristallklarer Kopfhörer, alles ist so dermaßen detailliert und hochauflösend, wie bei keinem anderen Kopfhörer. Die Bühne ist direkt vor einem, trotzdem hört man jedes Detail.
Die Bässe absolut präzise und voll,
die Mitten, ja, ich glaube kein anderer Kopfhörer hat so stark ausgeprägte und saubere Mitten wie der T1,
die Höhen, super klar, super fein - einfach hervorragend!
Durch die 600 OHM hat er natürlich auch die super feine Auflösung, die durch die Tesla Treiber auch noch so leicht und smooth angetrieben werden können, ergibt das ein so hervorragend fein abgestimmten Klang, der seinesgleichen sucht.
Übrigens für Gaming, insbesondere für Shooter, ist das DER SHOOTER-KOPFHÖRER!!! Man hört sogar die hintersten Fußschritte, aus welcher Richtung und Entfernung mit einer absoluter Präzision, sogar durch Wände durch - unglaublich!
Der HD800 steht dem T1 eigentlich mit nichts nach, sogar das der HD800 eine riesige Bühne hat, die so dermaßen spaß macht, gleichzeitig aber auch anstregend werden kann, nicht bei allen, aber schon manchmal, wo hingegen man beim T1 ein komplettes Konzert grinsend durchhören kann, da dieser ein Bühne direkt vor einem hat, aber trotzdem alles präzise ortbar ist, ohne anstregend zu werden. Dafür kann der HD800 viel öfter einem das "WOW, wassn Klang" durch die Gedanken schießen lassen.
Die Bässe und Höhen fand ich fast identisch, wie beim T1,
unterschied waren die super starken Mitten des T1 und die super weite Bühne des HD800.
Für Gaming allgemein, also für alle möglichen Spiele querbeet, ist das DER GAMING-KOPFHÖRER!!! Wer so richtig Atmosphäre, weite Bühnen, Ortung, Explosionen, usw möchte, mehr und besser geht nicht! Eine Klangkulisse, sowas hab ich noch nie gehört - da kommt kein 5.1 oder 7.1 ansatzweise mit!
Was ist mit dem DT 1990 der auch sehr analytisch ist?
Der DT1990 ist sehr klar, aber ich finde der ist einfach zu sehr, zu klar, der kann extrem anstregend werden, gerade mit den analytischen Ohrpolstern, wenn man das nicht gewöhnt ist oder als PRO das im Studio brauch, dann kann das eher unangenehm werden.
Der DT880 (600 OHM),
eigentlich nur die abgeschwächte Form des T1,
Bässe schwächer, Mitten schwächer und die Höhen sind eigentlich fast identisch, nur das der T1 sie viel sauberer auflöst.
Wer auf das super hochauflösende verzichten kann, ist das eigentlich das perfekte Preis/Leistungs Gerät.
AKG K701 darf wahrscheinlich in dieser Signatur auch nicht fehlen?
Auch sehr analytisch, sehr klar, nicht so klar wie der DT 1990, aber auch nicht so anstregend, dafür aber ziemlich gläserner Klang. Mitten Ok, Bässe eher schwach, aber trotzdem angenehm.
Wer sich keinen der oben genannten Kopfhörer leisten kann oder leisten will, ist der AKG eine super preiswerte alternative, wenn man einen analytischen Kopfhörer sucht (ganz besonders für Shooter - Ortung ist hervorragend ;] )
Ich hab mal jetzt paar weitere Kopfhörer mit ähnlichen Signaturen auch genannt, weil ich denke, das der eine oder andere vor der selben Frage stehen wird und habe deshalb mal so einige Kopfhörer mehr genannt.
Ich habe mich letztendlich für den T1 entschieden, da ich ihn überall mehr gebrauchen kann, dieses nicht anstregende, überaus präzise, hochauflösenden Klang nicht verzichten konnte und wollte. Hinzu kommt auch das ich eher Shooter Spiele - jetzt denkt der eine oder andere vielleicht "Echt Jetzt, komm schon, ein Gaming Kopfhörer für 760€ - gehts noch?!" - Sorry ja ;]] - und für Shooter ist er eben DER BESTE!
Ich hoffe, ich konnte dem einen oder anderen mit meinen Eindrücken weiterhelfen.
Im Endeffekt müsst ihr tatsächlich selber immer testen und reinhören, weil Klang ist sehr subjektiv.
Alle der oben genannten Kopfhörer sind super Kopfhörer mit stärken und schwächen, die man selbst herausfinden sollte.
Für mich war eben der T1 der rundeste und passendste und deswegen spreche ich hier eine ABSOLUTE KAUFEMPFEHLUNG aus, selbst wenn ihr das Geld nicht habt und die Möglichkeit habt, daraufhin zu sparen, macht es, es wird sich lohnen ;)
Die Rezension ist doch ein bißchen lang geworden, aber bei so teuren Kopfhörer ...
