Thats even cheaper than here: in the EU that cable costs €150. Its of good quality, has the same nice feel like the included single-ended cable and uses a Neutrik XL4. Reasonable price.
And to me it was interestingly quite a change, I like the T1.2 quite a bit better with the balanced cable. Checked balanced vs. unbalanced on the V281, which did not sound any different to me with my original T1 (which I reterminated to balanced).

I just published @shigzeo 's T1.2 review on the site if anyone is interested.
 
Merry Christmas to all of you!

How do I locate the review? #stupid

What's 'shouldery'? But it does look like a sidegrade (did someone say T1S?) rather than upgrade.. Is that the general consensus around here?

  @hanselmann The T1 2nd generation sold on US Amazon does not include the "Optional 5-pin XLR cable". So in US where can I buy this balance cable?
 
Really don't understand why the T1 2nd generation sold on US Amazon does not include the balance cable.

 
Beyerdynamics sells the cable separately here:

This is standard across the globe.
 
EDIT: NVM...I'm a bit slow on the uptake this morning. I see you've found it already.

T1 or HD800? they're about the same price atm.

If you like to get immersed in your music - T1

If you like to analyse your music or just like it to sound a bit weird - HD800

Tough call but I chose t1 and am very happy with that decision...

Edit: I didn't see the next page, and that the link was already posted there, my bad.

"shouldery". Ok. Might be analogous to "presence"? Just guessing. Side grade. Still great, just different.......

Obviously I need to amend the review somewhat. I'm sorry. I mean to say that its midrange has broad shoulders that push out. It's a very broad midrange even compared to the earlier version, and especially next to the DT880/600.

I honestly thought it meant that at some points FR dropped like a cliff, abrupt and sharp like the 90 degree curve of a shoulder. Thanks for clarifying!
