Hi folks I'm looking at modding my T51p to a detachable cable and wondered if anyone has tried this? I'm trying to determine a suitable 3.5mm chassis mount jack socket size but it's so cramped in the driver housing I'm struggling a bit to find something suitable. Also, wondering if anybody...

Hi snky1987, been a while since you started this thread but I am currently looking into the same mod at the moment and hoped you could share your experience. I measured the clearance to the driver as 15mm so I am going to check this again! Did you manage to successfully complete the mod and if...

Hi All, I have a pair of T51p’s and as you can see from the photo I have managed to tear the fabric that is covering the driver (bottom left of picture). The headphones are away to be re-cabled and I haven’t been able to test them since the fabric ripped. I’m wondering how much this could...

Cheers, I'm sure I will - many hours of reading to come to a decision. I hope the treble detail is satisfying enough. There's a good deal for anyone thinking of buying T51p in uk: http://homeavdirect.co.uk/beyerdynamic-t-51-p-on-ear-headphones

MacedonianHero Thanks for the comparison, it's really concise! It's been helpful in picking some new portable cans. Got a pair of T51p on order. Cheers : )

Yeah there's not a whole lot of info out there and not many reviews to go on. Those pics look pretty tidy....I might have to pay the import on them....look like a solid an best looking option thus far. I don't I imagine myself parting with them. I've had maybe 70 hours on mine an the cups...

Thanks for the link. I'll need to search for these in the uk but that's a nice cheap alternative.

Price is relative though and to me that is a lot of cash for two bits of fake leather stitched over some memory foam. 55 euro as well which is 75 dollars...but hey ho each to their own. I will probably just try some cheap ass fix unless the pads turn out to be a HUGE improvement....sounds...

What softer ear pads....that's sadistic!!!   AND 55 bucks that's very steep....I'd be expecting some good shtuff.   Hmmm the pinnacle of comfort.....grating your ear with a driver grill 'caus it sounds good...........   I'm thinking instead of kitchen towel maybe getting some hardish/memory...

Awesome, please do! I looked at e-mailing them but they had a disclaimer saying 'sorry we can't answer every e-mail' hah, What....   I don't find them too uncomfortable but some firmer pads might be nice....probably change the sound quite a bit too though. Damn I wish there was somewhere I...

Yeah I would agree but in terms of comfort and portability the IV looks like a winner. For me it doesn't really compare at all if the SQ is going to be of a lesser quality. I love my PHVI A LOT : D

They are cheaper!   http://www.k55.ch/ohrhoerer-kopfhoerer/kopfhoerer

Yeah, I suppose the IV may be of a much lesser SQ....hadn't even considered that.......   I think  my neck got carried away with the thought of less weight! 

I was looking for earpad updates on the website and found these have just been added....not sure if they are on sale yet but I assume they are in the process of distributing as they weren't listed a couple of weeks ago. Not on the UK dealer website. They look like a vast improvement...I would...
