Hi,

what do you like more between the t1 and the ed.8? Are there big differences between them? Regards

The mods I've done in the past have fixed the boomy bass but the problem with the mids and treble transition is due the the crossover and the electret driver. It sounds as if the mids and treble comes from two different headphones and are not well integrated with each other. They are not bad, but there're not anything special either. The shures were quiet a bit better.

 

 

 I also didn't mention the ed8. I think it's too expensive, but I also think it's the best currently produced closed headphone out there. And untill someone comes out with something better cheaper, they can get away with charging as much as they do. They pretty much have the closed high end market cornered. The build quality is top notch and it just feels like you have something with precision engineering in your hands when you hold them. I think all of the open headphones we had were better, but the sound you get from a closed headphone that's portable as well is really good. I'm hoping the new closed beyers live up to the hype since they are much cheaper. But even if they do, they are still not portable like the ed8.
