  - acoustic damping inside the cups. This I can't recommend enough, as in my opinion it takes these headphones to another level. The bass presence has markedly improved with this change. And it's so simple to do....

I completely agree; at the last LA Head-fi meet I was at I had members try my felt-dampened T5p's and I received very-positive reactions.  The mod addresses the main criticisms of the T5p (too bright, R-shaped curve) by smoothing out the treble and bringing up the bass-response.  I feel the modded T5p compares very favorably with the TH900; the modded-T5p has a much more balanced sound than the TH900's bassy-sound-signature (the two headphones were compared using the Headamp GS-X at the meet).

PleasantSounds, I know you used some polyfill that you had lying around, but I'm curious what materials people have used for the dampening, and what results they found. I tend to like the treble as it is, but I definitely wouldn't object to a little more assertive bass. 
 
Any thoughts, fellas?

Hi , every one , after 2 month my T5p have problem with the jack , i will send back to Beyerdunamic to fix it . Just want to know if they have new  cable and jack to replace the old one ? because i've heard that if they  keep the old cable an just fix the jack , the problem will reappear very soon . Thanks in advance for your answers  .

They should have the new jack in the U.S.  I had the same problem 3 times, and I live in Seoul, so it took quite awhile for the Beyerdynamic Authorized Repair out here to stock the new parts that North America had, but the new cable fixed the problem completely for me.

I'm honestly not sure.  I seem to remember the U.S. branch contacting the German branch at one point.  I tried to reach out to the German branch via email and did not have any success.  They never returned them.  The U.S. branch, however, was awesome!  

Here's what the new cable looks like:

Thanks for the picture , your T5P was bought in USA ? or in Korea ?

Bought in the USA then re-sent (via my family) to Korea.

That's exactly what i thought  , mine was bought in France , i don't know if they have the new cable with the new jack . What a shame for Beyerdynamic , they made for the T5P an absolutely ridiculous Jack , they must call back all the T5P with the old defective jack and change for free with the new one .

so ive spent some time with the t5p and its new upgrade, ive burned in the cable around 250 hours and the headphones are at least 350 hours.
ive mixed a recent project of mine with the headphones and I gotta say these t5ps are in another league for studio use.
Ill post a linked file up soon.

Any suggestions for a full size amp for this headphone?
 
I am looking at Musical Fidelity M1HAP & Oppo HA.
 
I am looking for a bit more ooomph in the bass. But it is getting better every day! 

 

[Griploc]

I have heard grat things about the phonitor mini. I use a apogee symphony io which has a good amp.

 

[Theogenes]

Heard good things about the Phonitor and the Meier amps. Best pairing I've heard for the T5p is the HPA in the Lynx Hilo, personally.

 

[rasmushorn]

I can confirm that the Meier amps sound great with T5p. I use Quickstep and Classic and both make the T5p punchy and clean sounding. If you want a bit more slam and punch in the bass my Just Audio AHA-120 adds just a bit more bass impact. In fact the AHA-120 is one of the best portable amplifiers I have heard with T5p.
