šŸ”¶ Beyerdynamic T1 Gen2

Ok, cool. Thanks for breaking that down for me. Makes sense.

I read that the RNHP does well with these too, so these are probably at the top of my short list right now.

Is the LP the best hybrid/amp below 400$ to go for with the t1.2nd?

Itā€™s not below $400.00 anymore. :smile:

Although there is an open box for $419.00.

I saw that! 800$. I should have pulled the trigger when they had the 290$ sale :ā€™(

I would wait for Boxing Day/Week. Although I think the best you will see is $399.00, which is still a Screaminā€™ deal for this amp.

Might be selling mine soon :wink:

I put some angled pads on the T1.2, sendy aiva pads to be specific, I think I actually prefer angleds on the T1 more than the stock they just feel better and sound a bit better to me. Wish Dekoni had some angleds for thisā€¦

Anybody know if any of the ZMF pads are good for this with that angle? Let me know and what it does to the sound. Aivas dialed in the treble a bit but pushed the mid and low presence further forward

Heya, anybody here EQs the T1.2? I tried oratory1990ā€™s harman 2018 target which can be found here:

It makes the sound fun in a way but completely changes the signature, I think the headphones handle it really well.

Anyway im treble sensitive so I made my own eq settings to tame the highs, so I can listen to this great headphones for more than an hour.

I donā€™t EQ most headphones but I think these have a lot of potential to ā€œcustomizeā€ the sound.

Just got my hands on a pair. Even without an ideal setup for these, they are very good. Initial impressions are that they feel like an almost direct upgrade to the DT990s with a slightly different tuning (more aimed towards music enjoyment than monitoring / professional audio, but not a huge jump). Running them unbalanced off of a QP2R and a Hugo 2.

can anyone with a standard hart audio cable confirm it fits in the t1s? the entrys are pretty narrow @brux

Also got some brainwavz XL microsuede ā€œas a memeā€ to see if I could turn the t1s into bass cannons, it worked but the mids are sucked out :rofl: only good for bass music, not sure if dekoni suedes would do better their FR graph seems to succ the mids too.

There you go! Dual 3.5mm

That new dekonisā€™ FR chart looks a lot more appealing to me than any other chart they had, so smooth and round (of course the chart is for dt1990 but I expect similar results).

As someone who values the midrange over anything else im buying them rn.

As for the Brainwavz XL, I ended up liking them more than stock so im keeping them on, as a note I donā€™t EQ them anymore with either pad:

  • Waaaaay more comfortable, also less fatiguing
  • giant pads look very cool on the t1s
  • The timbre changed quite a bit, still bright but way less
  • still v shaped but emphasis now is on the bass instead of the treble, it slams way better and I donā€™t think its bloated
  • Ifi True Bass now works wonderfully, sounded bad with stock pads
  • Soundstage and dynamics still as good
  • About 20% total detail loss (mids and treble), the laser imaging, accuracy and beautiful mids are still there, but a little bit veiled by the bass.

honestly, I am just concerned on that additional brightness getting addedā€¦ love the extra bass and mids getting bumped though that sounds awesome.

yep, pads swaps have been kind of a gamble for me, I hope this one will give that ā€œbuttery midsā€ some cans get with hybrids even if its just a little bit, as the mids are already supreme on stock pads

well, I have them orderedā€¦ hoping for good results as well

pads came in, listening and impressions of the new beyer pads on T1 and 1990 tomorrowā€¦ These pads are comfortable as hell though likeā€¦ wow im actually impressedā€¦ I prefer the feel of these much more over the regular hybrid

Not going to even try putting these on 3rd genā€¦ that things already warm as hell

Yea I ordered the new pads as well on the day they came out but they have not moved since I ordered them. My guess is, when they saw shipping to ā€œTexasā€ā€¦ they were like ā€œhold pleaseā€¦ā€ oh wellā€¦ I will get them eventually. Maybe in another week.

Yea Iā€™m currently trying to see if they have pads that will fit that gl2k

Yeaā€¦ I was glad I was able to cancel my order when they gave me a chance due to the delay on the gl2000. I read your review about the headphone and made me a bit glade I was able to do so. When I saw such polarizing views on that headphoneā€¦ just decided I was going to be happy with what I have. Thatā€¦ and not giving into anymore hype and just watch what folks report about a given product.

Anyway back on topic, I will be interested with your thoughts on the new earpads when you have spent some time with them.

I also purchased the headband. I donā€™t really have a need for it yet but was curious about the quality of it. Figured at least I will have one when I do need one.
