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...

Hah, I can appreciate that. I came on here for 1 pair of decent headphones but there are loads I keep wondering how they sound! Started looking at the for sale pages a lot...... .

Yeah that's not quite the right term. I mean poor design I guess. It's an easy fix but now u have an expensive headphone with an elastic band on it. You wld think when testing them somebody might have picked up on this. That guy at vmoda has the right idea with his testing! Not noticed any give...

Man I cant believe you fell asleep with these things on!!! I just sit and listen at my desk and don't walk about with them on. That's disappointing about the build quality....poor! I can see the sliders doing this after a short while. That's weird, I haven't noticed this at all. I'm gonna have...

+1   Interested to hear how they compare!

That was really interesting to read your comparison.....it's well detailed and thorough. I would agree with the way you describe the sound of the Pandora. But I think I have been more focused on the bass as I have been listening to quite a lot of electronica but listening to that jazzy track...

They have been great with all kinds of acoustic music and vocals have a great depth and separation. I find it surprising how well they work with EDM as well, as they seem on the slower side and warm but the bass presence and upper mid details really push songs along. I find that the low...

Sweet man I really don't think you'll be disappointed....that's a fair price! These are the best HP's I've ever listened to. The efficiency is fantastic with an iphone...sounds way better with an amp but can shift some air straight out the phone....altho not exactly too transportable...go...

I would say that I wouldn't pay £700 for them but then I have no idea of the SQ of high end hp's and what to expect in regards to diminishing returns. In saying that I don't really think I could expect any more from an HP......just I wouldn't spend that kind of dough on one.  The impact of the...

They look a but like beyers and do look very comfy. I haven't read up on them at all they are also beyond my price point! Price point has become a fairly loose boundary these days tho...... 

Bearing in mind I haven't tried any cans in this price range. They are very nicely tuned and sound pretty lush across the whole range with vocals being pretty special. The treble isn't overly prominent but like the whole sound it's on the warm side but detailed. The bass is big , rich, deep  and...
