Just when we'd gotten over the HD-800s, PS1000s and JH-13s, Beyerdynamic came out of nowhere (we were expecting AKG) and announced the Tesla 1 Headphones. Like the HD-800s, they use a radically re-developed diaphragm, but in this case, moving the magnets to the outside of the diaphragm instead of the centre.

What this boils down to is, much greater sensitivity, despite being 600 Ohm headphones, which they reckon will be great for high sound quality.

If all the technical jargon confuses you, donthuang made an interesting post about magnetic flux, a key aspect of driver design mentioned in the press release:

and T1's magnet circuit maybe like this

In common , the Second will got more focus magnetic flux than the first
