Hello
 
I currently own an ATH-A2000X and HD600 and I love both of their sound signatures. I was browsing through eBay and saw a T70 going for 100$ at an auction with only one bidder (yes it's real) and I was wondering whether I should go for it since I'm a bit curious about Beyerdynamic headphones. I've read several impressions who thought the T70 was a bright sounding headphone but I've taken a look at the frequency response chart and it seems to be the contrary where treble seems to have a spike but slightly recessed in comparison to the mids and bass.
 
 
 

 
 
(all rights go to HeadRoom for the frequency response chart)
 
My question is, does the T70 faithfully reproduce the Beyerdynamic sound or is there another headphone in this price range (300-500$) that does a better job? Should I buy the T70 or consider another headphone?
 
Cheers.
 
Edit: I forgot to mention that I'll be using a Fostex HP-A3.

For that price bid! Be aware the t70 is 600ohm .

the T70 is 250 ohm not 600.

I used to own the T70, and the treble certainly isn't recessed at all. It is a little bright imo, but the treble is relatively smooth despite the brightness. It does reveal sibilance and harsh tracks though. That being said, I used the T70s with a Little Dot MK IV SE so that probably helped to tame the treble.
 
If you like the hd600 and ATH-A2000x, stick with them imo.

My bad.

Hmm... MalVeauX seemed to have a similar observation, I'll keep this in mind.

I like the sound of the Beyer T70, not a really bassy headphone, but enough for me.
But the Clarity is what I like about it and at 250-Ohm, it a good sounding closed headphone I can run from my Yamaha RX-671 receiver.
I paid $320 for a used pair, which i might be willing spend again, if I needed another pair, but would not pay the new price.
If you can get that used T70 for under $250 (shipped), I think it would be a good deal.
