Which version of t1 are you interested? i haven't used the focal clear, but keep in mind the t1.2nd is warm and they sounstage feels small.

Interested in T1.2. Small sound stage, bummer.

The T5p is expensier now.

Beyer T1.2 Silver vs Black.
"Ninja Edition" and "Special Edition Black", are they even the same?

I'm wondering if the black version is available only in the US or globally.

I have noticed that the Black version is only sold by may be 2 retailers here (us). Is it exclusive type of deals similar to the Massdrop?
One retailer listed the black as 2 year warranty while the other listed the black as 5 year warranty. The silver is 5 year everywhere.
So, what's the real warranty period for the black?

The black is usually $50 - $100 cheaper than the silver. I wonder if there were material changes here to achieve the lower price point? Do the black use the same Tesla Drivers (all metal)?

???

It’s basically the same headphone, and it has the 5 year warranty. Drivers are the same. While the black I heard sounded different than the silver I heard, I attribute that to different batches moreso than physical differences between black and silver models. Maybe they changed the pads a bit on newer T1.2s for instance. If the blacks are cheaper, you’re just saving money by getting them instead of the silver.

I have the black edition. They sound warm. I think the latest silver t1.2nds sound exactly the same. I think I will return or sell mines. After using them for a week the background bass is bothering me and is fatiguing me. They don’t sound as clean and detail as I would like. I did some EQ with foobar and manage to make them sound as how I tthink the t1.1 would sound. With the EQ they sound fenomenal the detail and clarity is well above the dt880. Without EQ they sound veil or covered

My black edition pair also have 5 years warranty bought it from focus camera ( amazon) they have a coupon for 50$ off right now. So it would be 650$+tax

got 880 600ohm now tempted for T1

I have both. It’s an upgrade but it’s doesn’t sound as a beyerdynamic at all. It still have the detail but the clarity seems overlap by the background bass. It’s warm with forward mids. They vocals sounds full and not recess at all. The soundstage feels closer. If you like beyerdynamic bright and fast driver signature this aren’t that. They are fast but doesn’t feel as tight as the others. It’s more like a musically representation, they sound amazing. Warm and enjoyable but it’s lacking the brightness beyerdynamic it’s known for. It’s not a dark headphone. I also have the dt770 80 ohm and dt990 600 ohm. A/B with the dt880 they sound similar with more bass, rich/fuller/warmer mids, better 3D soundstage but it feels more closed and they lack the airy sensation that give this sense of openness, and brightness.

Thanks for the insights Alfredo! I think I would have to audition first then. Since I like the brighter beyer sounds.

I found and posted a long time ago that placement of the earcups is critical to getting the optimum sound

I have tried many ways even backwards
