Thanks for the first impressions. I am looking forward to try these. I am going to order the T70 though and I hope it will sound close to what you describe. 
 
Have you had any chance to listen to both models or only T70p?

 

[Gurloes]

Hmm, they sound like they might be a good replacement for my  770s.

I guess we can all agree to disagree on some things I'm A OK with that. I have no desire to get into a heated debate about it. I post my negative reviews straight to the manufacturer. 
 
I will take some pictures of the new driver platform once I get back form Axpona Show in NY this wknd.
 
I have not compared to the 250 version yet, but hope to have a demo pair soon.
 
The T5p leather pads are not cheap to say the least. $205/pair.....

I may need a closed headphone down the track, spose i will give these a try based on the price. Hopefully the 250ohm  Thanks for the review Drew!

 

[Skylab]

I'm going to buy a pair of the T70 from Drew.  Really looking forward to trying these out!

 

[Sophonax]

Thanks for the review, Drew!
 
Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to hear the T5p, which you used a lot as a point of comparison for your review.  Would you mind sharing some impressions of how the tonality of the T70p compares with the DT880 or DT990 (i.e. bass, mids, treble)?
 
Thanks!

I am looking forward to hear your judgement on the differences between the two models.

Do we know the size of the driver in these headphones ?

Anyhow, I really like the T70p and I plan to own own a pair. And no, I don't own every phone out there. I sell off the ones I don't like and keep the ones I do. Happy Listening

Can I ask which ones do you own Drew?

Thanks for the review, Drew.  I'm actually in the market for my first truly high end cans and the DTs were interesting to me because I love me some bass (some might even call me a basshead), but I'm pretty sensitive to HF and I literally enjoy every genre of music, from dubstep to motown to metal. I like a nice, warm, musical signature, with enough bass to rattle my teeth when I listen to dubstep but musical enough to deal with double-bass drums.  From the reviews, I felt like the DTs would be a little harsh and the recessed mids put me off.  
 
Considering I'm planning to spend around 500 on the cans alone, and I don't have any way of demo'ing them, I'm forced to base my decisions on reviews exactly like this one.  That said...what's the sound signature on these like?  Given what I just said, do you think it's worth me waiting for?  Have I finally found my perfect set of 'phones?

Thanks for the great review. These cans sound like something right up my alley. I have the DT770s currently, and would love to hear a more premium, Tesla version of them. For someone who dreams of eventually being able to afford the T1s, the T70/70p is making me drool a little bit...

Yowza!!!

I was all lined up to buy the DT770 this weekend... Then I read this thread...
 
Gonna have to save another week or two.
 
Anyone know if there is a difference in SQ between the 32ohm and 250ohm?

 

[cifani090]

What the price for these?
