Apr 4, 2016 at 12:37 PM Post #407 of 1,976
Got the T5P 2nd today :)   The first thing i noticed,was that it was smaller than i imagened.I thought it would be huge.So that was a nice suprise.I Feel in love with the timeless design right away.Not flashy or bling bling.Just plain simple design :) Im not an proffesional,or and audiophile expert,so i leave the details about the bass,mids and that kind of stuff to other people.But wat i could say,is that it sounded amazing :D Not too bright,nor either too warm/dark sounding.Just perfect.Crispy sound with deep bass.Havent tried them so long,but the soundstage is good.Probably not the best,but good for an closed back headphone.Havent got any comments for the isolation yet.Are going to try them in the car :)   I also like that they are supplied with an 5 year guarantee,and that you can buy some parts to them.Pads,cable,and stuff. So these will last forever ;)
 
Ps:tried different music on them,and they sounded great on all different genres :D

Ah right if you was based in uk I was going to ask where you got them from. Im looking for an endgame headphone and IEM setup. Getting the fender FXA7 IEM when they release this month.

These seem to be the headphones im after. How do they sound with music such as nickelback, oasis, pearl jam etc?

for me they sound good on the bands you mentioned.But they are expensive,so you should have others impressions to.Im defintly not an expert in the head-fi world. Lol.The best is to demo them first before buying.I did not have That opportunity. So I did an blind shoot. But so far, No regrets :)

As for the isolation though,they could be better. When i tried in the car,i could hear the music from the Cars speaker. But if i played a little high volume, it was good.But i dont Wanna destroy my ears. So I think i will use the iems in the car.On a train or buss i think they would work ok.In a car you are sitting very compact and nearby the Speakers,Or the chat some wife ( as if i havent told a 1000 times "i dont hear you when im having my headphones on". Lol. :P)

haha lol. Currently i use the jvc sz1000 and the v moda crossfade wireless headphones. Those beyers would be a huge improvement I imagine. I found a retailer that sells them for £850. Would love to demo them in a shop though!

I have owned the sennheiser monentum over ear, audio technica ath msr 7 (too Bright sounding) ,denon ah-a100 (why did i sell these? They only made less Than 1000 worldwide),Philips mtb2,Philips fidelio x2 (larger soundstage on these of course),the supra nitro IEM and the amazing shure se846. These are all different kinds of headphones,but my favorite now are the beyers. Along with the Shure se846 and Philips fidelio x2.

I was looking into the se846 myself and have come extremely close to buying them!

How do the details compare to the se846?

Do these headphones give you an immersive feeling? As though your in a close setting to the band?

Maybe its my imaginaging,but i do think the beyers are more detailed.And a larger soundstage.But i do think the se846 have a good soundstage for being iems . But a little bit more inside the head though.i feel closer with band on the beyers.Overall i like the beyers best, but the se846 have better isolation.The comfort of the beyers are good,but they do have some pressure on my head around the ears. I got the beyers today, so my first impressions could change over time :)

@Peridot and @h8dk97, I will not be the one throwing the matches to burn you. I'm joining you in the bonfire. Lol
I too had grand hopes for the Ether C, until I properly auditioned them yesterday. What a disappointment. MrSpeakers has regressed in its offerings, IMO. The Alpha Prime is still their flagship as far as I'm concerned.

The T5p, while not isolating as well, is a much better headphone, than the Ether C. The T5p.2 must be even better (I still haven't auditioned them), based on what I've read.

 
I've only heard the Ether C for a rather short time, but was definitely not blown away. I'll give it a second chance I guess, but first impression reflects yours I have to admit...
 
Maybe the Shure se846 have more sub bass. With the Beyer i preferred the bass bost on oppo ha-2 for a warmer sound and better bass

 
Just today I stumbled across a title with some nice deep bass that is barely audible with the SE846, but very impressive with the T5p2. They have the advantage of more surface, moving more air... but of course the SE846 has tighter coupling to the eardrum. Nevertheless I prefer the T5p2 overall, its just much less portable...

Scarface, my bro in law just had me listen to the song little wing. I can only imagine that would sound godly in your t5p.2's. It was the stevie ray vaughn edition
