This git holds a lot of EQ settings: https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results
Also some for the Beyerdynamic T5p but I'm unsure if it's gen1 or 2. You can probably check that out quite easily by checking the different measurements.

Thanks, i'll take a look. The couple I've found have been for Gen 1 but I'm sure that someone must have done a profile for Gen 2.

Can we use APO EQuazizer with Peace addon too for those EQ settings?

-edit-
Yep, it seems. It's just the parametres are different to the different settings. Will give them a try.

I have not located any. EQ settings for the T5p Gen 2 for the Harman target curve yet. If you manage to do so please let me know! The EQ settings I've found so far are the T5p Gen 1 and Gen 3.

This is the only site I've found recommending EQ settings for the gen 2 version https://www.headphones.com/communit...d-news/beyerdynamic-t5p-2nd-generation-review Scroll down to the bottom of the review for some suggested settings. They're not based on measurements but serve as a starting point.

I'm surprised there are no EQ suggestions on AutoEQ given how many headphones are included.

I'm considering a T5p v2, anyone know if the cups are the same size as the T1.1 or T1.2? I see that the pads on the T5p 2nd gen might be smaller, but curious if the actual cups are smaller too...

Yes, they do. The pads will work just fine.

The ear cups are my only quibble on the T5P-2 headphones. I find them a bit too shallow and my ears get rubbed by the mesh covering the drivers. I will probably replace with sheepskin angled cups next year.

Anyone know where I can get a 3M standard headphone cable (not balanced) for the T5P Mk.2 phones, preferably with the screw lock 3.5mm long shank plugs at the headphone ends. I have just looked on the Thomann and Beyerdynamic websites and both of their 3m cables for the T5P-2 phones are listed as sold out. Polar Audio are going to have a try to see if they are intending to restock. Otherwise I suppose it is back to Custom Cans to get them to make a cable.

Cups and pads are the same size, but the pad material (on the inside) of the T5p pad is quite firm. As a result it presses against the bottom of my earlobe (through the outer layer). I never had this issue with T1 pads due to the difference in material.

My solution was to use the Dekoni Leather pads. They had plenty of space. The tuning does change slightly of course, but I preferred it. With either pad they're a superb closed back.

You can look for the cables for T1.3 and T5.3 because they are basically the same. The T1 usually have the 3M cables.

Buying from Europe is now a nightmare in the UK, due to the total stupidity of Brexit. I am still waiting for a VAT/import duty refund from HMRC of over £300 from last May for returned faulty goods. If Beyer have these cables, I will buy it via Polar Audio who are local to me in the UK, are the official importer to the UK and will have the correct EORI licence.

Yeah, tell me about it. Last week I had to order an item from eBay UK and damn, not fun. It will my last purchase ever from there. It takes a hefty % for the VAT/import duties indeed.

The T1 cables will just work fine. I even use T5p.2 cable with my Amiron Home.

Will the new ZMF pads work on the second gen model? If so, I’m wondering which one will be the better replacement for the original pads. Solid or perforated?

I have a pair Dekoni's Elite Sheepskin, fenestrated Sheepskins and Choice Suede pads, thought I'd share my thoughts with the T5P Gen 2s.

The sheepskins turn the bass quantity to 11 and makes them really muddy. I wouldn't recommend unless you're travelling and need the extra grunt or love overkill amounts of bass. They're very comfy despite being a relatively stiff pad, and are much better at isolating sound than the stock pad. I use these when travelling to and from work, they work well enough for that, although they do add some size to the T5P.

The fenestrated Sheepskins really don't work with the T5p Gen 2s at all. Avoid them. Bass and lower mids are just entirely lost through all the holes in the pads. I thought I accidently set a dodgy EQ at first, it was that lackluster. All that's left is treble on top of treble.

The suedes are a fantastic match to my ears. The overall sound is noticibly more spacious than the stock pads. Micro detail is somewhat improved too to my ears. The sound signature is fairly close to the stock pads. I say fairly, as my only gripe with these is there is a very slight elevation in the mids to high notes. Just at the frequency range of female vocals. Not off putting, but notciable. They do leak alot of sound, best not to use them out and about.

Do the suedes have an affect on sound leakage?

Agree with your thoughts on sheepskin. Went back to stock after a while.
