Well constructed, but not as dynamic as others in this class

The T1s might look similar to other Beyerdynamic models, but it definitely stands out from the rest of the lineup. Beyerdynamic is known for their high-quality construction but they cross every t and dot every i with the T1. Just like older flagship models, the T1 comes with a nice aluminum flight case. Comfort: The T1s are very comfortable and the velour pads should fit well regardless of head size. It is one of those small things that can be extremely irritating, especially when you can't get them to fit without some material or metal touching your ear. They're also fairly lightweight compared to others, such as, HE-6 or LCD-2/3. Sound: Sound stage is good across all frequencies but the sound is just not dynamic as the HD800s, HE-6s, or even the LCD-2s. I can't quite put my finger on it, but even with a really nice amp there is something lacking. They might be slightly better at working off a portable rig than the HD800s; definitely better than the HE-6s; and probably better than the LCD-2s, but since I use headphones in multiple environments I would opt for any of the others mentioned before these. Overall: If you can find these used for $800 I would take them since you can't find HD800 or HE-6s at that price. You might be able to find LCD-2s, but there is definitely a lot of variance in product with the LCD-2s. If you like very neutral sounding headphones like Shure or AKG 701s then you might like these, but I came in with really high expectations and they were only minimally met.Read full review
