    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Where can one buy genuine replacement pads for the T1.2 in the US? The one place that comes up with actual Beyer pads when I search is in Europe.

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    It's ~6K and ~9.2K (probably just my variation of the ~8K spike) being affected by vertical and horizontal placement, respectively.

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    It doesn't have nearly the 6K spike of the HD800, but it's there. Or perhaps a more accurate description is it has relative dips at 5K and 7K, which cause a perceived spike at 6K, I don't know. It's also quite possible it's my ears, driver variability, or that I'm simply misremembering where I...

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I've also noticed that placement of the headphones on the head makes a huge difference with the level of treble one hears, most likely an unfortunate side-effect of the angled driver. When I first got mine I was wearing them too low and too far back. I found that the vertical and horizontal...

    Are there any established/definitive damping mods for the T1 (specifically 2nd gen)?

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Just got these on xmas, running them through my crack w/speedball. I couldn't figure out why sometimes the treble on certain songs would spank my ears, and other times not so much. Then I happened to be running a sine wave at different frequencies and realized that there is a huge difference...

    broke headphone plug on dt880s, what to replace with?

    hmm, not locking, but how about this? Furutech FT-763.   or the version with carbon fiber, but I wouldn't get that unless the CF was for more than just looks.

    broke headphone plug on dt880s, what to replace with?

    managed to snag my headphone cord as I tried to run to the door to get my pizza and snapped the 1/4 plug on my DT880s.  Yep.  Anyways, I'm good for the soldering, just wondering if there's a particular replacement I should be grabbing.

    sub $200 USB DAC to go with DT800/600s and Crack amp

    Good find.  How does the II+ compare to the ODAC?  Is it worth the extra $45-55*?  I could only find comparisons between the ODAC and the non-plus version, which seemed to favor the ODAC.         *vs ODAC w/RCAs

    sub $200 USB DAC to go with DT800/600s and Crack amp

    Hello all,   Just finished my Crack + Speedball, which is sounding great with my DT880/600s, and now I want to pick up a USB DAC so I don't have to go through my soundcard.  I'm looking at picking up a revB ODAC but not sure if there might be a better choice under $200 (or at least close to...

    Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

    As far as modeling clay is this fine?   http://www.amazon.com/Prang-Modeling-Colored-Blocks-Pounds/dp/B001AYYBEG/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1321406929&sr=8-9   I'm going to order a pair of the shure pads and figured I might as well get the clay too so I get the free shipping.     edit...

    Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

    So far all I have done with mine is tape the stock pads to the cans to give them a proper seal and prevent them from slipping off the cans when I stuff the pads themselves, and I've stuffed a ~1 1/4 inch thick strip of fleece in both pads.  The strip overlaps itself for most of the back side of...

    Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

    My T50RPs arrived today just as I was leaving for work.  Quickly took them out and I can already foresee me wanting to replace the stock earpads.  For now, though,  I want to see what I can do with 'em.  I picked up some upholstery velvet (noticeably thicker than some of the other velvets I saw)...
