Oh, I'm floored alright, but in the wrong way. These things have some horrible... sibilance I think you people call it? It's literally making me kind of afraid to listen to my tracks at times. I don't like these Beyerdynamic T1's much right now. Everything else sounds pretty good... though not "drop everything and start running" amazing. But the sibilance... oh god the sibilance. Male vocals, female vocals, it doesn't even matter. It just makes me cringe trying to listen to these sometimes.
I looked through various threads, and this appears to be the newer revision of these headphones, too (which supposedly did better on the higher frequencies?). Some tracks don't have it as bad, but a majority of my tracks do (and yes they are all flac). It doesn't seem to matter whether I listen to them from my Creative Z or my O2 DAC+AMP. The latter sounds better but sibilance is just as bad with it.
Not sure what to do here. I could return them to Amazon as they are still in roughly the same condition... or I could sell them on Ebay since they're selling much higher than what I bought them for anyway (get maybe a 50-100$ profit). I wonder if this is a defective pair, but I have heard other people having the same issue. Maybe I'm just more sensitive to high frequencies. I could try modding them but I don't understand why I should mod headphones that originally sold for well over 1000$...
