Just for info, they are still shipping the 2nd generation with the same headband I have or they improved something?

The headband is 65 EUR, but probably hard to get outside of Germany.
First Gen was real leather with regular foam. Second Gen is protein leather with memory foam. I had both, the pleather headband is way more durable (and fits Gen 1 headphones, too).

My question, which google has been unable to answer, is how to remove the plastic clips to allow sliding on a replacement cushion? There are no visible screws so I assume there are clips inside that you have to spring to pop off the plastic. I’m afraid to push to hard and break them without knowing where they are.

The head cushion service set comes with new plastic pieces. You actually have to break them. You may contact Beyer customer support, they can send you the service manual. Unfortunately I couldn't find it in my emails and I don't know if I am allowed to share it anyway.
Seems like they tried to reinvent the wheel when they had perfectly good clips on the pro which had screws for removal

Nice photo! BTW, what tubes are you using in your BHC? I have Tung-Sol 7236 in back and 7N7 [via an adapter] in front and LOVE this combo with my 6XX. Hoping the T1 is the upgrade I am looking for!With the Speedball upgrade.... awesome....

Thanks...
At the moment the tubes are a NOS RCA JAN 6AS7G and NOS RCA 12AU7 Cleartop.

Guys, I am loving the sound from my T1s! They're the black version and I am using it with my BHC. Better bass than I expected! Good detail and no sibilance thus far.
The cable is, indeed, very good. In my case it is better than a custom one I have ordered some time in the past. LOL
All versions are coming with the same re-branded Cardas Clear Light ?
Because I've seen some pictures with the limited edition T1 90 years anniversary edition where the stock cable had the Cardas logo on it.
Mine it has only a "Beyerdynamic" written on the 6.3mm plug. However, both cables look quite similar.

Yoshi approves.
I find the highs a bit too much with a transistor amp. With tubes they are wonderful.

I had the same experience. Using the Cavalli Liquid Platinum hybrid tube amp with the T-1v2 and HD-800S. Both are remarkable with the tubes.Yoshi approves.

I still grab the T1 2nd Gen Black Edition for my everday listening at work, there is just something that I love about them, the tonality and soundstaging is realisitc. They never come across as artificial.
They are also still at a great price for this level of performance.
