New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

There's alot of good aftermarket cables, if you in Europe i recommend Forza Audioworks

Norne is also really good and premium

As for something cheaper, Audiophile Ninja is quite good.

Corpse Mogami cable sound great, just not a fan myself of the finish and feel of the cable.

Scandisound have good quality and the classic cobber look, just ask to be sure it works with T1.

As for material, I prefer pure good copper on T1 G2, silver plated cobber is also ok. Only tried 1 silver cable with T1 and if it was the cable or the combination I'm not sure, as it sounded thinner and more sharp.

Anyone suggest a good aftermarket cable for T1?

Copper, silver or hybrid?

Custom Cables here in the UK are great. I have both a SE and a 4.4mm Balanced cable for my T1.2’s, and the quality is truly excellent.

I've been very happy with my Corpse Cable.

Thank you, that’s a good suggestion – I’ve never owned a Corpse Cable. How flexible/comfortable is it?

Thanks, this is helpful along with your list. I’m a big Norne fan and own a Silvergarde S4 and Drausk Lite, but for some reason Trevor has had trouble with finding connectors to fit T1. He’d made me a 3.5mm ultra short-throw adapters for the Silvergarde but they wouldn’t fit the T1.

Good idea – I had one of those a few years back.

Norne has been on my mind for a new cable to T1, but if he can't get connectors that's out. Not that the ones I have is bad, just want something more pretty.

Mine had very good copper in from Arctic Cables. It's soft, flexible and not heavy. And it's wrapped in black fabric that's soft to skin.

About to get a new cable for my ZMFs in copper, just unsure if Norne or Forza gets my cash.

Good to hear on Arctic Cables. I might go that route. I don’t want to put you off Norne – maybe reach out and see if Trevor will talk it through on the phone with you. I was thinking of just sending him my T5p so he could be certain it fits.

 

[Leonarfd]

Sending them can be a smart move, he has some of the most awesome looking splitters out there

I've got a pair of T5 1st gen and T1 2nd gen and both headbands need to be replaced. I contacted Consolidated Sound Services (Beyer's parts distributor) and was told that they no longer just sell the 2nd gen headband pads. You have to buy the whole assembly which is crazy money.
Has anyone determined if the gen 3 pad will fit the older models?
Thanks

Very interested in the answer. My T1.2 headband is in rough shape. How much is the full assembly?

AUS $96.23 + extra $23 for the mounting blocks and screws if needed.

 

[rennwerkes]

$340 LOL!
Hey, if you don't mind me asking about your T5, is it lacking a bit of bass?
Thanks

You guys Down Under can still obtain just the headpad?
