Me neither. For that much money it better be leather.

Are these on the ear or around it?

Yea along with MrGreen and probably many others, I really hope they're real leather.

I thought I was getting the e-Q7 as my next portable, but I dunno anymore... These look freakin' sweet.

Well where are you going to use these phones? IMO if the sound quality of these is better than the e-Q7s, I still might not get them because they would be inconvenient for use during my daily activities.

I am very tempted to get these phones and recable them for RSA Protector.

I just found my next headphones. The May release matches the Meier Stepdance. Can you say "German synergy"? I knew you could!

Press release link doesn't work... did Beyer change their minds? I really hope these aren't that portable, in that they're at least 100Ohm.

Oh cmon! I need to stop spending on audio for a while already, and now this??!!

Taken from HERE:

But with the T 50 p (available end of may), a low-resistance 32 ohm coil converts as much magnetic power as possible into acoustic energy. In this way, we have an ideal partner for mobile devices with low output power.

Why, low impedance (but not too low) is great!

This looks to me like beyerdynamic's attempt at spanking brands like skullcandy, dr.dre, and also the B&W P5 headphone. The market in good looking premium portable headphones will heat up more in the future. Swanky brands will face tough times.

Cheers for the link LQQK.

xnor, I have this idea that manufacturers today trade sound quality for the ability to run better unamped from the likes of an ipod which is why headphones of yesteryear sound better.

Great phones that's waiting for, even very nice looking in silver, waiting for impression.

 

[yossi126]

Beyerdynamic will never be able to challenge skullcandy and the likes at sale rates due to two facts: a) Marketing and advertising aren't any close, probably because Beyer is just too small of a company. b) Clearly the price of the T50p ain't aiming at the masses, but a very tiny specific market - portable audiophile market.

These are the headphones i will purchase, hopefully they will be out by june.
