I'm looking forward to whis new model, i have a pair of dt-990 pro and i like them very much...i was planning to buy a pair of dt880/600 but i guess i'm waiting a bit more, i just hope the T1 will have a decent price tag.

Rumour has it that they "might" introduce a K701 successor at CES 2010.
As for this (and a potential AKG release in the near future) being a "shot at the Sennheiser", I certainly hope not. If they're rushing a headphone out just because Sennheiser has the HD800, it could end in disaster. Hopefully it's more along the lines that they (and maybe AKG) have also been working on a new model for some time, and it just so happens Sennheiser released their model first.
Interesting. Beyerdynamic headphones have always been a "close by no cigar" type headphone for me, with wonderful qualities, but not quite what I wanted. It's also great that headphone manufacturers are bringing out new, good models again.

Agree totally - I had a tube arc and blew a driver on my DT990, and Beyer was very responsive and helpful in fixing them.

The experience with beyer's announcements has shown that when they announce something at the IFA then it will most likely hit retailers around January, February of the next year. In Germany, at least.
My relationship with AKG cooled down over the last months a little, so I don't know any concrete news. They also keep very silent until IFA eventually starts and wait with their press announcements until that day.
At least it has been that way over the last years...
So, we'll see! I'm just as thrilled as you are.
Oh btw., if someone wants to stop by and say "hello", you'll find me in hall 1.2 (same as Senn and beyer), booth 111 (audio-technica - I'm the pale geeky looking guy ).
