Probably outdated topic but i will answer for anyone who might seek this information in future. I personaly use T5p 2gen daily, as my main desktop headphones. I absolutly love the tunning of this and I'm quite passionate FPS players. They are increadible for gaming. I've tried 3rd gen as well...

I wanted brighter highes and more spacious sound, that is why I went with T5p.2 . I have to try Radiance in near future as it is on my list but I'm worried that they will be too narrow for me. Unusable for FPS gaming for example. I came from open headphones and it is a big deal for me. For Dan...

I have T5p.2 and treble is spot on for me, way more balanced then most of Beyers that i heard (warm/balance). Don't know if it is my cans or my hearing :smile: Overall they sound very very close to each other, 3rd gen drivers are tiny bit more capable then 2nd imo but the tuning is achieved...

Thank you for reply guys. So probably most vocal are those who have problem, but yea, i guess if this is such a legend there might be some truth that they are more fragile then others. Anyway, i will start hunting :)

Absolutely positive. Fantastic contact with seller. Headphones secured safely for international travel. Everything as agreed. For those who might care in future - I paid in advance.

How is the build quality and reliability with this one? Everyone around internet knows what Focal is known for beside sound quality. Any long term users could give their input on this? Thank you!

PM :)

So, I found a need for good closed headphones. Headphones that i can put on and enjoy my music in rather small environment so isolation is crucial. Having experience with open back HP I used to love spacious, detailed but overwhelming experience where a bit of boosted bass... never hurt nobody...

I kinda hunt for either of these. Can't really decides which i want more. If you could keep just one of them which would it be?

I did not heard any Pro X HP but you guys have to keep one thing in your mind and it was mentioned here few times and even above your post. T1/5 have insane resolution. Incredible soundstage for their category and details. I bought 1990 after T1.3 because of neutral tonality and more versatile...

Kinda felt determinated to order new set but official Polish price is ~844$ which is still ~ 786€. Are you joking @Sennheiser ?

Here you have some comparison to Variations (don't know if this guy is reliable): Also, there was whole discussion about the tips. Go through last pages of this thread.

3rd gen drivers are really insane in their capability. I'm thinking about getting T5's. I loved T1.3 for that impactful low end and insanely enjoyable and overwhelming tonality but as top mids and highs were stunning for some tracks, they were killing as many others from my library. Is T5 better...

Any subjective compression to Timeless? Can't make my mind if I should upgrade. There is no return policy for IEM in my area.

The first thing i realize why Beyer kept their old design with new T1's was comfort. First impressions were meh, do something new already, but then.. :) Clamp is stronger then on previous T1.2 but lesser then 1990.

You are definitely right regarding amping T1.2 My home setup is really mediocre (IEMagni + Modi 3) and i do feel like they have much more to offer but i cant achieve that. Will let them go soon i guess.

I've sold my T1.3 just to finance other headphones and move around this Beyers world (have to keep my money quite realistic in this hobby). I agree there is no other HP that sounds like that. Capability of new 32 ohm driver is really insane. I do believe it is more capable then old 600ohm one. I...

I would suggest Changes by Tupac as well, especially YouTube version. I'm lucky with my 1990 which is not sibilant for me but on T1.2, oh boy this YouTube version. Pins in the ear.

I see you own Edition XS, how would you compare it to 1990?

Comfort is kinda similar, same to the touch, they are a little bit thicker and more dense so they will heat you ears bit quicker then stock one. T1 has lesser clamp force.

I thought we are talking about "Porsche" here :thinking::thinking:

I've tried Dekoni Elite Velours, Dekoni Suede, OEM T1.2 Velours, two different sets of analytic and of course balanced pads. I'm coming from T1.3 to T1.2 and I'm daily 7Hz Timeless. For me T1.2 pads on 1990 is by far the best set I own right now. As I mentioned, they are v shaped but lows are...

Does anyone tried 1990 with T1.2 pads? One i used are brand new OEM replacement bought recently so if there was any difference on early batches it might be worth mention. I have a feeling they are quite like OEM balanced pads but a tiny bit more tight on bass and less sibilant on treble and more...

I'm also using 5k, it is a little beast but imagine packing this thing in a little box on "bluetooth cable", convenience at its best.

Yea, something like Xelentos adapter or FiiO LC-BT1 but high end. Xelentos are outdated and FiiO is nothing special for.. so called - audiophiles
