We leave our morals at the door.. It's ok..

Yes! It is very wrong. Even beyer doesn't want you to cheat on your headphones. That is why they have another subject to divert your frustration.

So, just to clarify, what is the rrp and/or street price of this thing expected to be?

$1295, I believe (and the Beyerdynamic site has it listed for €890). However, I see that headphonesolutions.com is already offering it for $995, so it might be that there won't be the same enforced single sales price-situation as with the HD800 (which would be good).

Hah! I second that. I'd like a few hours with the T1 girl myself. Although I doubt my girlfriend would be too pleased.

Tell her that she is a review sample. Will be gone soon

Another germen impression
Beyerdynamic T1

That's interesting of Use " high resolution audio" to test the T1/A1.

 

[paranoize]

Ofc your girlfriend won't be pleased .. If she'd be what'd be the point of the whole thingy

 

[AmanGeorge]

I can think of benefits of her being okay with the whole thing

 

[paranoize]

Threesome?

Amen to that!!

 

[Der Germane]

Well, I really don't like Asian girls so much... so you can take the girl, while I listen to the phones...

Okay, let's get back to Northern-German seriousness:

Here is a very nice German test.

The beyerdynamic T1 is tested against the Ultrasone Edition 8 and the Sennheiser HD800.

UE8 | HD800 | T1

Maybe it was already posted here?! Then just ignore it!

BTW: I will receive my T1 at the end of January 2010... I'm so excited!

BTW2: The editor of the test writes, that he also wanted to test the Grado Reference RS1 against the other headphones, but that Grado denied it with the words "kein Interesse" ("We're not interested./We do not care.")

Greetings from Germany

Der Germane,
Pity that article you posted wasn't in English.

 

[AmanGeorge]

Seriously, wish I spoke German. Anyone care to share the highlights with us?

 

[Dan55]

There's a comparison chart on page 20. Looks like the HD800 scores half a star higher for comfort, with the T1 equaling or surpassing the HD800 in the other categories, for whatever that is worth. Quite a lengthy article; I guess they take headphones pretty seriously in Germany!

You can check out page 20 where they show summary ratings. The rest i only can babelfish them to get a rough idea. I only babelfished the "Klang" portions for each headphone.

Seems T1 is the clear winner among the 3, with the only con being "no removable cable", even so its a +/- point.
