To my ears, T1.3 sounds muffed next to HD800S, but not muffed at all compared to T1.2. To my ears, T1.2 has more treble, but T1.3 has more resolution.

Basically how I feel about the the T1.3 compared to the T1.2. But honestly my favorite thing about the T1.3 is the sheer power of it's sound.

Do you use the 6.3 mm output? Do you notice differences between them?

Have not made any scientific work out of the tonal difference, only switched once, from 6.3 PHONES-out to 3.5 IEM-out. However, I noticed a more silky sound, so the T1.3 remains on the IEM-out of the RME.

Do you notice T1 v3 not forgiving on bad masters or music productions? (similar to HD 800). I think that and the DAC-amp I use are possibly the problems I had with certain albums. With DT 1990 and Amiron I really enjoyed all of my music (some with one, and some with the other). With T1 I really love some of my music, but other just sound wrong.

Now I'm listening to Metallica - Black album... I recommend it to all T1 v3 users, never heard that power in the drums , and the music flows, the bass does not overlap the other frequencies.

There will always be recordings that sound better on other headphones, but if your DAC-amp designs the lower mids and bass, this may not be the ideal combination with the T1.3.
By the way, the output resistance (10 Ohm?) of your headphone amplifier may be a little higher than the T1.3 would like.

Can anyone with both v2 & v3 remove v3 damper, and swap pads and let me know if v3 is still darker and bassier. Was sold at first but after reading thread im beginning to think v3 is just a mod i do all the time

This could be tempting to pick up and see if it could be my all in one for music + gaming. I have an amp to use with PS4 but on Xbox I need to plug into the controller to use chat. At 32Ohms this might do fine powered off the controller when needing to chat.

It definitely sounds like an amazing fit for gaming, but it has no mic so I don't really understand the use case for voice chat

I'd throw a mod mic uni or mod mic wireless on it for when gaming. I loved my DT 1990Pro's but the high were just a bit too much for me for long 2-4 hour sessions.

I’ve done that and it made it darker and bassier. The T1.2 pads make the T1.3 sound even darker and bassier.

Sounds amazing to me

Received a Focal Clear today, unpacked it, listened to it, and wrapped it up. Certainly an interesting headphone, but I much prefer the Beyerdynamic T1.3.

The T1.3 simply presents the music in a more relaxed, physical way, with more space, simply more complete. Admittedly, the Focal Clear works out the trebles more clearly, but something yells at me from the middles, this is the dealbreaker. A tubeamplifier might be a better match for the Focal Clear, but I don't want to hear it on my RME. Whoever binds himself „forever“ should check whether he can find something better, but the Focal Clear is not for me.

The Beyerdynamic T1.3 sounds like more, I listen for hours and look forward to the next listening session. The music flows, listen is relaxing.

That's why there are hundreds of headphones out there!
Enjoy!

It would be very boring if all those hundreds of headphones will sounds the same. This is why I'm torturing myself and my wallet. Having different headphones with different sound that will suit depending on the content and mood.

 

[albertmuc]

Don't listen with the T1.3, it will spoil your ears and take away the fun of other headphones

Anyway, soon I'll be listen to a Denon AH-d9200, possibly at least an addition to the T1.3

Sounds like a floorstander vs Bookshelf lol.
