The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

volume in AIMP I have set to 86% of volume. I not use Windows Directx Mixer.
I use Wasabi exclusive or push.

Most máváme set volume to 3oclock, listening to most at 1-2oclock.
I do not know whether the 12oclock Position enough for seasoning headphones.
headphones produces something between 60-70 dB.
Burn-in bass on 3oclock especially in the low tone (1-40hz) makes a cracking sound.
Frequency sweep enlightens I just higher sounds (500Hz or more) very resonate.

Whether it will be enough for seasoning headphones 12oclock position? Or that I will measure it in decibel.

DAC: Schiit Bifrost Multibit
AMP: Schiit Valhalla 2 (stock tubes)
Cables: Viablue NF S6 Air 0,6m
Optical: WireWorld Supernova 6
Dock: Pure i20-Ipod

Don't worry about how you burn-in/season the headphone, just listen at your normal listening level and the burn-in/seasoning will happen along the way.
 
Don't turn the volume up too high to where you hear cracking sounds, you might be damaging the drivers.  Also, don't worry about where the volume knob is turned to since it does not equate to any level other than your system.  I usually listen at 65-75db, anything higher is a bit too loud for me so this is what I would use as the level it I were to do any burn-in/seasoning.  FWIW, I don't burn-in or season any headphone on purpose, not worth my time and haven't really notice much changes with most headphones but there are some exceptions that I've found: EL8 and Ypsilon driver are the 2 most notable one so far.

Hey guys, if anybody is interested, I have a pair of these for sale on the sale forum. I've run into some unexpected expenses, so I've dropped the price to $435 for this weekend only. If you are looking to get a pair, that's about $50-$60 less than the lowest price I've seen personally. 
 
My apologies for the commercial message. I've just run into a bit of a tough spot. Thanks.

hmm yeah i just noticed it says 2. Gen on the box too.. oh wow, someone screwed up big time boxing these... my vali 2 isnt even strong enough to drive 600ohm properly i think, which is why i went for the 250ohm t90.. i guess i should look into a new amp







That's a fantastic find, in the event someone that paid for a T1 doesn't end up with a T90!

I got my upgrade cable for the T1 2nd gen the other day from Whiplash. I have the T1 on the Twau cable now, the modular system. Wow, it opens these phones up even more. the subtle details are more obvious and speed, rise and fall of the transients, has more impact. This is without a doubt a great cable for the T1. I also find the cable more manageable than the stock, less stiff more compliant. Good stuff.
