What a lovely headphone !! Have kept myself on the mid-fi side of headphones, slowly climbed upwards as most of us have. I just got a pair of T1 gen 2 for 1/3 of the new price in Norway, they basically mint condition almost not used at all. I have used DT880 some years ago and since the launch of the DT 1990 Pro used that one. The step from DT 880 to DT 1990 Pro was bigger than the step now up to T1, what I like the most is clearly the soundstage. Soundstage feel much more right, when I swap onto my studio speakers AB back and forth they give this very good depth and width thats very similar on the T1. No other phone ive tried has been this good really. Also its so liquid and smooth in the sound signature, the DT 1990 is clearly more shouty if thats the right word for it. Giving it some days but I cant find a reason to keep the DT 1990 Pro now, already bought pads twice since the A pads on the 1990 compress to much. Hope this is no problem, as space inside the T1 is bigger because of the angled drivers.
Also tubes and T1 gen2 is magic
Very nice indeed, I'm using the Espressivo MKII and it is such a good amp with high impedance dynamic headphones
