Beyerdynamic T50p Manufaktur edition with extravagant design

Oh no, this looks like very strong poison

IFA 2011 highlight: T 50 p Manufaktur
 
Beauty to be worn: beyerdynamic provides the “mobile headphones of the year” with a Manufaktur edition of extravagant design.



What do the glove-like softness of buckskin, elegant stainless steel and the exclusive natural material of Nanai have in common? Combined they become headphones that touch all the senses. Both the look and the feel of the new T 50 p Manufaktur from beyerdynamic are unique. So unique that each model is one of a kind: the Heilbronn-based audio specialist produces the mobile headphones customized to customer order in the in-house headphone manufacturing plant.



In the process, there is a wide selection of colour and material combinations to choose from. Ear cups in trendy colours from cream-white to mauve and brown to olive green can be combined with leather covers on the headbands and the ear conches. Perforated buckskin, for example, is a reminder of times when automobile drivers still wore racing gloves and lends the headphones a charming retro-look. Those who like it more extravagant choose the salmon leather model: the exclusive material Nanai is also used in the fashion industry and stands out due to its characteristic structure. Its production was developed centuries ago by the East Siberian Nanai people and until today works in harmony with nature: salmon leather is 100 percent chromium-free tanned and free from allergens.



As of September, sound aesthetes can configure and order their desired models online (http://www.beyerdynamic.com/manufaktur). The tried-and-true Tesla Technology from beyerdynamic ensures acoustic quality. With its high level of efficiency, it even helps low-output MP3 players such as the iPhone or iPad achieve higher volumes and an amazing richness of details. There’s a good reason why the T 50 p series version was honoured with the sought-after EISA Award last year as European mobile headphones of the year 2010/2011. Like these headphones, the Manufaktur version is also manufactured by hand in Heilbronn. The T 50 p Manufaktur is “Made in Germany” to the core.



The T 50 p Manufaktur headphones will be displayed for the first time at the Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) in Berlin from 2 to 7 September 2011, Hall 1.2, Stand 115.
 
Hope you can come to Germany and visit us!

same sound as t50p bro?

[marcusd]

same sound as t50p bro?

I would presume so but I do hope they got the clamping sorted, if so then I would be keen to explore this one more than the Dt1350

hmm, interested in either.

" Those who like it more extravagant choose the salmon leather model "

Salmon leather!? Sounds fishy... 

[jcruiz]

i wonder why they chose the t50p which has a lot of issues rather than having a dt1350 manufaktur. then again that salmon leather is gorgeous!

[Za'afiel]

I hope this rattles the income statements of the usual "fashion" companies, even just a little.

Style and sound can and do mix nicely. The manufaktur "customization" feature has been around for a couple of years already, and re-launching it with the T50p is just the adrenaline shot needed to perk up the headphone industry.

[Ishcabible]

These actually look awesome. If they did this with the DT1350, I would have been tempted to get it over the Z1000.

Btw, price is $420.

ack now that is totally tomfoolery - the price is silly - haha now I am going to have to email Beyer and request a demo sample to prove it can be worth $420 

[solomonella]

absolute beauty! but the price..

[Ishcabible]

ack now that is totally tomfoolery - the price is silly - haha now I am going to have to email Beyer and request a demo sample to prove it can be worth $420 

Then send it to me 

It's a $70 premium over the $350 retail, which already seems to be way too high compared to the DT1350 at $300.

I wonder if the leather tastes good. It says in the PR it touches all the senses...

Haha, I had to do a double back... you're right! Well I do have a thing for salmon. A quick lick would do the trick.

...and Racio can take care of assessing how good it fares in the scent category since he is a leather connoisseur after all.

[dalethorn]

All I need is for a couple of reviewers to say they brought down some of that hollowness and boosted the area around 4 to 7 khz a little, so it's an improvement on the 1350, and I would give them my money once again, in good faith(!)

Interesting... do they offer them in wood as well bro?

[marcusd]

That would be a nice thought Racio - but German's are not known for wood - they like steel and plastics
