Haha, yes that darn Urushi coating certainly makes them more expensive... which is annoying as even though it's beautiful, I'd rather sacrifice it and pay less. I still love the TH900's, they were my first real headphone... But damn I am loving these Beyers. :D

I am finding that the T1's aren't too different from the TH900's... The T1's are slightly brighter and the TH900's have a more powerful bass impact than the T1's... The vocals  are more forward on the T1's which I find preferable. But honestly, I don't notice too much difference in the overall...

Quote:   I plugged the TH900's in to my ipod and macbook pro and neither had the buzzing noise. As I suspected it's the amp, I also notice the left channel is quieter on the T1's and not just the TH900's.    I am contemplating selling the TH900's to put towards a new amp/dac combo...

My T1's arrived this morning s'n 11xxx. I have noticed something strange, for around 2 weeks now I have been hearing a buzz on the left side of my TH900's on the right channel. This worried me at first. However, when I switched to the left channel, it was no longer there. However on the T1's it...

Quote:   I had a similar experience with my TH 900's, but that wasn't until 6 weeks of use so I guess 100 hours of burn in or so. What is your take on their overall sound signature? I was torn between the T1's and HD800's but went for these instead. I will listen to that Michael Jackson...

My order is finally coming tomorrow! Can't wait for these to arrive. Woohoo.

I'll be using the Burson Soloist SL with the T1's. I do not wish to take these out nor my TH900's as they're too expensive to risk damaging for me. Plus I don't like other people hearing my music 

Quote:   Ok, cheers for that. I'll post up some pics and impressions, I'm looking forward to receiving them. I'll see how they stack up against pair TH-900's which I adore.

Just bought a T1 from the US (I'm based in UK) from Razordog. Was quite a good deal, my package is still being processed by customs according to USPS. However it is guaranteed to come by tomorrow! So I'm holding on patiently... Sorry to sound ignorant but what exactly is 'open box display'?

Even though I love these headphones, I'm already looking in to getting another set. In fact, I have my heart set on getting the HD 800 and I'm finding it hard to resist. I know deep down though that resistance is futile 

Quote:   This thread is pretty long, I've read through a lot of it but nowhere near all of it. The change could have also been partly my amp (Burson Soloist SL) as the manual stated that there could be change after a certain amount of time. This surprised me as I thought 'burn in' was a...

Quote: LOL. Sorry that made me giggle a little . You mean to say they didn't even transform in to Beats? Haha. I see in your signature you say your saving up for the TH-900's, how's that coming along? You nearly there yet? 

After owning these cans for around 6 weeks I have to say they have gotten much better. I don't know if this is 'burn in' or merely psychological burn in, but to me they sound a lot more transparent than they did on first use. I have been using them for at least 4-6 hours every day. The reason I...

Quote:   I wasn't planning to mod mine, I was merely asking if anyone has modded theirs yet. I haven't got the guts to mess about with 2k headphones personally. Plus, I don't think LA's wood chambers have anything on the stock TH900's cups. Thanks for the reply .

Has anyone modded the TH-900 with any of the Lawton Audio mods yet? I'd be interested to hear your views on the mods.

Just got my Burson Soloist SL amp... the TH 900 has definitely stepped up a notch or three :D.

Quote: I definitely love the bass on the TH-900's. It is especially powerful with some of the repetitive dance music I listen to! Also, the comfort is amazing, I've never worn headphones this comfortable. I am going to invest in a open headphone at some point, I'm not worried about...

Are there any LCD-3 owners here? If there is, how do they compare to these? I'm wondering this because I was interested in the LCD-2/3 until I bought these instead.

Quote:   Yes, I'm waiting for my Burson Soloist SL to arrive. If they sound this beautiful just from a Macbrook pro, then I can't wait to hear them with an amp! :)

Hi everyone, received my TH-900's today and WOW. I never knew it was possible for music to sound this beautiful. Even straight out of my Macbook Pro, these are sounding amazing. Also, the stand I got with mine is very nice. Fostex much have changed the stand that the cans come with as this one...

Would the Burson soloist sl be adequate to power these beasts to their full potential?

Yeah, I guess I got a little ahead of myself. It's just I want a decent set of audio equipment... And I'll have a hard time trying out different things where I live. I'll have to try and find a place where I can demo stuff, then buy.

I've had a look at these headphones however, I'm still going for the LCD-2's, as I know I'd still want them in the future anyway. I may get the Denons at some other point though. I've decided to get the Soloist as I'd like something that's a little futureproof. I'm just deciding on a DAC, I...

Thanks for the info GREQ, I'm probably going to buy the LCD-2 from someone on these forums.    Apparently the 160D only gives out 250mw, is this enough for this headphone? I want to get the best possible sound from these cans... I don't mind buying the soloist, and then perhaps getting a...

I've decided to go for the LCD-2. I don't have much choice on going by what I 'read' as it's hard to get a demo on any of these phones in the UK. I'm currently trying to find a good DAC/amp for them, I want to get a DAC+Amp all in one. I was thinking maybe the Burson HA160D. Again, I've only...
