Will this usurp the T1 as the main flagship?

I doubt it - Beyer runs two headphone product lines, consumer and professional. This will be the professional flagship. I don't see the T1 going anywhere and it will almost certainly remain the consumer flagship.

Beyer also tend to be quite strict regarding it's dealer channels - the HiFI dealers will have access to the consumer range, and the pro audio dealers will have access to the pro range (There are some dealers that do carry both, but they tend to have both a HiFI and pro audio section). For example I had to go to a pro audio outfit to get my DT1350s as the usual HiFi shops didn't have it, and, as was explained to me, couldn't stock it as they were not pro audio dealers.

With Sennheiser it is even harder. No Dealer in my country have HD700, HD800, IE800 or HDVA 600.

I'm probably going to be all over these. I love the DT 1770 and if this shares many of it's characteristics of the DT 1770, they will be my go to open-backs.

I attended the IFA last Year and could repeat it this Year. Ordered my DT1770 a few days after the visit and am still very happy with it. But the environment there is not good for testing out any open can. Simply because Yamaha was demoing their latest sound projector with the Movie Mad Max in an endless loop just around the corner. The new T1 could not be tested very good there, only the DT1770 isolated enough in this environment. Maybe I just order the DT1990 once available and skip the show...
