Beyer DT-1350 Tesla

I'm guessing it'll take it a long time before it get discounted back to 199$ XD.

I don't have mine yet, and a lot can go wrong between now and then.  They might even cancel me.  But there's also a chance after upsetting so many customers, they could get some stock they don't want.  I worked in electronics retail for 7 years and I could tell you so many stories about what goes on between mfrs and dealers.  So anyway when I get mine, maybe I'll see if they are willing to sell any more for $230.

Then I'll be waiting for the right time to strike a ninja move then .

So this is what you are eyeing for!

On topic:
Does this use similar drivers with T1/T5p? Because the word Tesla that is attached to the model..

My understanding was that because of the 'DT' designation, they were aiming for a "monitor" headphone more than anything else.  This could be a scary thing and sound really strange, or maybe not.  The video guy said "really pure" sound a few times, which should mean very flat and maybe rolled off a little on the ends.  That's what I expected, but nobody is saying yet.  The last word is maybe they ship by early to mid-April.

Having had the t50p and growing to like it after the Beyer SG headband mode I am hoping this cured the problem with the bass separation (or integration shall we say). I still miss that purity of the tesla treble the t50p offered and if it is $299 then this puts it right in there with the t50p.

It does look like a darker cousin of the t50p anyway I just hope they produced a tighter headband and improved isolation this time round.

OT :

You got me there XD. But since it raised up to 299$ I might let go of it and go with the hd 25 .

Sir marcus, based on the t50 it looks like they(dt1350) have the same cans. How are the cans of the t50? Are they durable as the hd 25 ?

its pretty durable despite its looks, I did a review actually on the t50p including build quality in the beyer thread

I see. I'm just afraid the fact that this headphone(dt 1350/t50) will easily snap since I'm gonna use it most of my time being portable on all sorts and types of commuting and traveling . I just hope the 299$ + 60$ worth of purchase will be worth it and won't snap in a blink of an eye XD.

OT :

Yes I've been reading on it . And I noticed you didn't continue your comparison review of the t50 vs hd 25 .

[marcusd]

I didn't do a comparison review against the Hd25 bro lol.. I did one against the tma-1 vs the HD25. The beyer t50p is one heck of a long posts with lots of sq review and build including a blow by blow on the headband mod

So have you ever gone a stroll with the t50 outdoors? . It really is hard to take outdoors a 350$ headphone and especially the fact it looks fragile XD.

Its not fragile but then anything can qualify as fragile if you jump on it or throw under a train lol..

I thought it was 10k in China last I heard from Bro Enygma

In china... lawl XD. Still I'm not aiming for the T - 50 though. Aiming for this dt 1350 .

I guess you're right about the fragile stuff. thanks for the tips.

Actually I believe this is actual Beyer stock and not OEM or anything so 10k is a bargain, but this DT-1350 might be a better plan since any lessons learned from the t50p could be applied to the dt - 1350.

I await Dale's review for confirmation of this

I was told by Beyer SG that new production runs of the T50p will have better clamping than the initial run and they were working on a better ear pad with denser material (yet to be confirmed).

Well, this is interesting.  Looks like Beyer is more forthcoming on earpad tech than Sennheiser hehe.  I just hope if there are variants for the 1350, they are offered for sale.  I wouldn't want to miss an interim earpad model.
