New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation

[Shane D]

Hey guys,

I have my t5.2's showing up Monday. Really excited to get them. I had the Dt 1770's previously, and currently have the Amiron Home and the Xm3's. I pair with a ZX 300. I just had a Sony MDR z7, but sold it as I didn't care for the graininess of the sound, but I did love the angled pads and the strong bass. Has anyone tried HM5 angled pads on these? I had tried both the round pads and the Hm5 pads with the Dt 1770, and both fit, though you had to cut the back of the pad to get the circle to snap back in, which was fine. They were snug after that. On the Sony, the angle created a better seal and better comfort. Wonder if that is possible with these. Thoughts?

Congrats! Do you have a balanced cable for your ZX300? It is a great combo. I use balanced out, low gain. Tons of power for me and full, clean sound.

I also sold the Z7's a few months ago. You have taken a huge step up, quality wise. Except in bass. They are very "bass light" compared to the Z7's. But if you are not comparing back to back, you don't even think about it. Of course I don't listen to hip hop or EDM.

I do. I have a kk OCC cable that I use with Amiron. It works. Picked up 3 different balanced cables at the $50 price point: off, off, and silver plated. I couldn't tell the difference.

Hey Guys, do you think this cable will work with the T5P? I have to order from Germany so im kinda limited =) Will it fit into the holes?

Will it alter the Sound Signature? Would rather not lose Bass or make treble higher.

That will work. Its OCC, so it will be fine.

 

[freddystreet]

so you think the jack heads will fit inside the t5p? will that one sound like the original? what does 7N mean btw?

also, if i need more than the 1.2 or 1.5 meters that most cables come in, i need an extension in the same quality, right? in other words, if dont go full length to the amp with a silver cable i dont even need to bother and can take OFC instead?

Just purchased a balanced cable and Fiio
F5 amp this sounds sublime.

Just amazing treble improves even more (upfront) I found the bass touch too much with Mojo With balanced amp it’s perfect.

So far these sound perfect to me I can’t imagine bettering it without spending lots more money.

But since I’m very new to audiophile headphones (these are my 4th high end headphones) two of which are IEMs I’m just too curious to try more.

What cable did you get? I really like the feel of the stock cable, but need a 4.4mm to work from home other my balanced Sony. I have one, but it's super long. The stock cable length is perfect.

 

[BiggieBig]

It’s a Beyerdynamic cable for TP5 with 2.5mm TTRS termination.

Your right length is perfect you can purchase directly for 99eur I brought mine discounted from a seller on eBay.

I'm using this one (4.4mm) with my TA-ZH1ES, works fine (I also have a Null audio one on the way).

I've seen that on eBay. Getting these on Monday, they remind me of the 1770's. Can't do an A/B, so I'm going from memory. Admittedly, I prefer the Amiron Home. I know it's open vs closed, but doing A/B, I like the Amiron quite a bit more.

 

[JoshG1217]

If anyone is interested, I think I am going to let these go. $475 shipped in the US, no paypal fees. Includes case, cable, and headphones. Perfect condition. PM me.

Wow, that was pretty fast. What will your go to closed backs be now?

I won't have one. I'll stick with Amiron for office and home, and Xm3 when on the go. The BT is so convenient in the gym, and it still sounds good. I am going to do some A/B with my ZX 300 and my Note 9 today. The ZX300 obviously sounds better, but I do like the convenience of just having my phone. Plus, I love Power amp. I sold my Ifi Nano Black Label when I got the ZX 300, but I may just get it back. It sounds good, and then my phone stays the source, rather than having 2 sources, and updating SD cards in 2 devices. IDK. We will see. I need to do more A/B with all of it. Admittedly, I also over extended myself buying both the ZX300 and the T5p.2 in the course of a month.
