beyerdynamic t50p

I'd be interested in a good portable headphone like this too. Here's hoping they sound great.

Does anyone know if these can be re-terminated with a 4pin XLR for balanced configuration or is a complete rewire needed?
 
Thanks.
Do!

$299 for a german-hand-built headphone and all goodies they can cram in it... kinda cheap for the price

Am also curious about the balanced cable modification. Saw announcements at Moon Audio. So tempting.

According to the writer in the link above, he rated:

1. Comfort: P5 > T50p
2. Sound quality: T50p > P5

 
However, he seems to like his Edition 8 more
 
EDITED: This is an one-person-opinion.

boils down to preference. I prefer comfort over sq any day. He didnt really elaborate much. Lets just wait for an official head-fi review

 

[KLS]

Sorry I have forgotten to state that it is an one-person-opinion. I am seriously tempted to get one of these
 
I thought you have a pair orderd and will give us some first hand review?

 

[2rooi123]

got the p5's instead of these. good comfort above average sound and excellent build quality. you ordered the beyers didnt you

 

[KLS]

As you wish. I think I will get them once they hit the market

I'd be seriously interested in comparing those to the ES10.
 
By the way 2rooi123, do you still think that your ES10 are superior to the P5 overall ?

After 100hrs of burn in on the p5, it does not lag far behind the AT's overall. Soundstage,comfort,build quality.portability goes to p5. es10 is a bit better due to better bass quality/quantity and better highs. Mids are better on the p5 though. Overall taking into consideration of build, sound, and portability, p5 > es10

Hi,
I own a T50p now for two days and must say the sound right out of the box is ... astounding. I heard a lot of full size cans not being able to do what the T50p can do. Clear hights defined mids and a rich base. This definetely is the can I was looking for. I know I should not say but in my opinion it makes even the Ip--d touch a good sounding device (w/o an additional dac/amp).
 
Wearing the T50p is ok. As I started using it it seems to me being a bit uncomfortable but as I got used to it it really is ok. The sound sealing quality of the cans is fine, too.
 
I think I will be happy with the device for a long time.

wow good first impressions...which headphones did you compare them to?

Hi,
I "compared" (so what you can do on two evenings) to a Monsterbeat Dr Dre Studio and to me the T50p is superior to the Monsterbeat in almost every discipline but the base effect. I laso very shortly compared it to my Ultrasone Edition 8 which is not very fair I have to say as the Edition 8 plays in an other league.

hate to say this... but the t50p at canjam did not impress me at all
