How awesome is that! I really hope it has a low RRP, not something ridiculous like the HD800, I hope thats not the new standard for headphones.

Wonderful news,can't wait to see!
Go for it beyer....show em all how it's done.

Strangely.....NOT traditional "DT" : dynamic telephone

, but "T"......is this means some other thing besides "Tesla"?

T1.....the first number of some new kind headphone?......never mind, i am got crazy.

That's fine, Beyer are the "good guys".

Sennheiser went through a major PR catastrophy here in Germany lately - the first HD800 exemplars got delivered in the late July or so, and they are only available in those ugly voodoo stores where wealthy elderly people buy.

Just when I had planned not to buy any more headphones....

Nevertheless, I'm very interested. Beyerdynamic makes some wonderful headphones and I'd always hoped to see them go for the high end.

The only way the T1 will 'compete' with the aforementioned in the eyes of those who own said headphones is if it costs the same, it's completely psychological. If the exact same T1 is released with a sub $400 price point it will automatically not 'compete', instead it will enter the realms of 'good for the price'.

And another interesting describe

"the driver has twice as much magnetic energy as competing models.

I guess this is not refer to NEW MAGNET SYSTEM.....


Maybe it's not use the usually NdFeB magnet? SmFeN magnets ? nanocomposite magnet?

 

[tintin47]

Okay, that is the best name for a headphone yet. I want one just for that reason. I really hope they're good and sub 1k.

 

[techfreakazoid]

Interesting. I wonder if they will offer the MANUFAKTUR service with the Tesla...maybe a 1,200 ohms edition on the horsepower theme.
