what connections you use on the T1?
Eidolic 3.5mm universal extended-tip plug
Make sure you get the new model (gunmetal one). The old one (black) still fits in but a little tight.

About an hour ago my 3yr old DT-990 Pro ground wire broke at the cable relief. I have a retired set of DT-770 Pro that I had a straight cable put on when I had them serviced in ~2015, and since the DT-990's were already screwed, and the 770's have a bad driver (again) I might as well try and fix 'em.
I have a lot of strange talents, soldering is not one of them. My soldering iron is 20 year old cheap garbage, and so is the solder that came with it. The joints look like Stevie Wonder soldered them with his feet. But I must've done something right because I don't need as much gain for the same volume, and the mids are louder, warmer, and shifted closer in the sound stage.
Either Beyerdynamic's straight cables are better than their coiled cables, the ground has been slowly degrading and I didn't realize it, or I finally managed to successfully solder something without burning myself or melting something vital.
I'd take a picture of the joints but I trust my solder work so little I'm convinced it would turn to dust if I dared look at it again. Long story short, if I can do it, so can you.

I always try to leave them on the place after soldering so they stick back to the plastic.
I throw the coil cable from DT770 pro, not like it.
the drivers that you used from the same impadance category ? (32? 80? 250ohm ? 600?)
