The baffle frame looks much beefier. Also there is a rubber/plastic ring piece put at the end of the driver for dampening (similar to those goo of Grado?). I expect there will be a lot of people trying to mimic the V2 mod on their T1 V1.
Truth. I'm pretty sure that's how mine broke. It's so stupid that they don't have any protection over the voice coil wire between the circuit and the diaphragm. That wire is like 1/4 of the width of a human hair. If you even touch it, it breaks. So be careful! Hopefully, they'll offer the V2 drivers on repairs.
Just joined the T1 club. Thoroughly enjoying what I'm hearing so far. Got them in yesterday morning and have had them playing ever since. I feel like they're opening up more and more every time I put them on. Really impressed so far.

How tight are the extenders (I don't know if they're called extenders, the ones used to adjust the size) supposed to be? Mine seem very loose. If I pick them up, they will extend almost all the way out just due to gravity.
Unfortunately, memory foam is not a part of v1.5. I conducted an abx test and heard no difference between the old and new baffle design. I could open up an earcup, take a look at the driver and see if the plastic ring is installed, but I'm afraid that might void the warranty. I've heard there's a sticker that breaks apart when the earcup is disassembled?

It's "normal" that they're loose. They're like that on all Beyers except the pro models which have tight extenders. I have to adjust my T1's every time I put them on because the cups just slide all the way out when I pick them up. I don't know if that was by design or not, but it sure is annoying.
I like the fact that they've decided to change two things that I'd improve on the T1, more bass and less highs. Hopefully they didn't go too far in that direction, but I always preferred my T1's with a 3-4 db boost under 100 hz.

Honestly, according to descriptions of V2 in Beyerdynamic's website, I don't expect a noticeable change in SQ. V2 has to have faster decay in treble and a little more bass (which can be done by EQ on V1). Although, we have to wait for someone who has heard both.
The T1 is capable of a lot more than you are hearing right now. The level of detail and magic that the T1 can reproduce just isn't present in the output of your Clip+ or your PC sound card.
I also own a pair of M50s. If I use them with my Arcam rPAC (£150), they sound good. If instead I use the T1, they sound just the same. Nothing special.
Switch to the iDSD and the M50 sounds a bit more alive but not much. The T1 meanwhile is clearly in a different league with the occasional "WOW". Add the iCAN and it's "WOW" all the way.
A headphone can only reproduce what it is fed. Cheap DACs just won't cut it. Crap in = crap out.
Finally it's been said a million times on here but I'll say it one more time for the newbies. Headphones need to break-in. I use 200 hours as a yardstick. Most 'phones will be done by then. I've had speakers that took longer, much longer.
I didn't like the fit of the DT880's. I thought they were too small so my ears were always touching the top of the cup and couldn't get a good seal. Would I have the same problem with the T1's, are they the same size?
