Beyerdynamic T1 Review (V2 headphone)

[respice finem]

Thank you for the hint. The German BD page has no part with this numbe, others I could find, are also faux leather.
As long as the old headband is "physically intact", I'll simply continue to use it, and when it is, either visit a bike shop or a local shoemaker

BTW: This should fit and is leather https://turbulentlabs.com/shop/beyerdynamic-leather-headband-black/
but is relatively expensive, and shipping "from the Antipodes" comes on top.

It's this one: https://www.beyerdynamic.de/kopfband-custom.html
And yes, faux leather and possibly again not very durable. Still, for 15 Euro the price seems ok to me for maybe five years of use.

Since the damaged headband has a "carrying layer" under the first one that came off, I speculate on it lasting several years before it will tear and need replacement. The little mystery remains, why the other, visually identical headband is unaffected.

Dug my pair of these out after a couple of years of exile in the cupboard of doom.

Changed my set up since and didnt have an EQ profile to apply from previously so started from scratch.

Without EQ these sound like utter shite. Boxy, sucked out vocals etc etc

After some EQ these are actually very nice. Light and very comfy. Sound pretty damn good. Worth the RRP? Hell no. Competitive in today's market? Hell no. I suspect if anyone wants the classic 20XX Beyer experience they should get the DT880 in a deal off Amazon rather than these second hand.

But can I say I am not having a good listen? No!
