That's what I love about the Hi-X55 and Hi-X60 headphones I have - they sound spot on right out of headphone output from my Apple devices. No need for a DAC/headphone amp. Started with Hi-X55, couldn't make them sound right through my systems at home, so moved them to work, where connected to my...

I second that, just got the Burson Soloist 3XP, running it in PowerAmp mode, controlling volume via UD-503. XLR connection and High gain. Soloist 3XP drives T1.2 with such ease and authority, it’s addictive. Listening to NIN-The Fragile: Deviations 1 (24/96) via Audirvana 3.5, UD-503...

I got the black edition brand new. Not sure if they needed further breaking in, but had them running for few days nonstop, they kept opening up but the bass representation was constantly on heavy side and have returned them. Standard T1.2s are both bought used, so don’t know how many hours those...

I love my T1.2s! It wasn’t love at first hearing, but they won me over full time, eventually. I tried the black edition first in summer last year, but returned them as those sounded too dark, too bass-heavy to my liking. Yet I didn’t want to give up, so got the standard T1.2. That was much...

With T1.3 being 32ohm, I don’t think we’d see any new headphone amps from Beyerdynamic...

Agree and have same experience. A20 with DT880 600 ohm is a very nice combo for the money. Albeit a bit dry here and there (as I remember it, had that combination for few weeks last summer). A2 with DT1990, Amiron Home and T1.2 is another level and an endpoint for me. I have A2 set to 100ohm...

Curious myself... Beyerdynamic Europe site states “Available soon”. But seeing how Beyerdynamic tends to go for the warmer, more bass pronounced sound signature of their new models (T1.3, all their Black Editions), I expect updated Amiron (when it’s released) to follow similar path… Therefore...

A20 with headphones you own just doesn't work for you and that's absolutely fine. Years spent reading this site and trying various combinations of equipment I own/have owned made me realise one thing - it's all part of the journey and finding the combination that works for us is a very...

Yes, T1.2 are not fast, but they are so... intimate. Yesterday I listened to a Killing Joke album and had to switch to DT1990 as T1.2 were so muddy, they just couldn’t keep up. But this morning I listened to Emika - Klavirni Temna on T1.2 and the experience of her playing the piano... Just WOW...

I ended up with same combo - A2 amp, driving both T1.2 and DT1990 (with A-pads). Depending on my mood and music, they both work really, really well with A2. T1.2 tends to be better suited for acoustic and less busy music, giving a very nice, intimate listening experience. DT1990 on the other...

Came to same conclusion. Recently (and finally) got the T1.2 with A2 amp. Very nice combo for relaxing listening. But quickly realised that I’m gonna keep my DT1990 as well as they are better suited for energetic rock&metal music. DT1990 with A pads and A2 amp are very nice together for anything...

Well, I agree with all you said. I got them new in October 2016 for a very nice price (Amazon Flash sale). I myself wanted to pass them on couple times. But I prevailed. I incline to AKG sound signature and if those are supposed to be AKG TOTL model, than there must be more to them then what I...

SonarWorks software. https://www.sonarworks.com I'm not using it myself, as it disabled the option to listen to DSD files directly.

Interesting how our experience differ from one another. In my current set up (Teac UD-301 - MX-HPA - K812) they are the best sounding experience I've ever heard. Beating T1.2 Black, DT1990, DT880 Black, DT880 Edition 600ohm and K712 Pro. Just can't fault them, can't get them off my head and when...

Have exactly same experience. Don’t want to derail this thread, but DT880 600 ohm with A20 amp is very capable combo and I now recomend it as a perfect starting point to this hobby. One need to spend much more money to get some noticable improvement. Ok, sorry everyone, back to T1.3... :)
