Nor are they closed-back headphones, they leak a lot of sound and are intended for private listening with a fairly powerful amplifier. Just to be clear, these are not portable headphones (impedance 600 Ohm, semi-open design, fixed 6.3mm connecter). I modded my T1 with the spare foam discs that came with the Beyerdynamic EDT 770V ear pads (tried those grey ear pads but preferred the sound of the original EDT T1V black ones) because there was a bit too much sibilance and bass distortion when playing at loud volume, that got rid of that and made them slightly more warmer and the bass more smoother. I don't just listen to them for music but for watching movies on Blu-ray and gaming. It doesn't matter how good a headphone is, if they're not comfortable then forget about them. Which is rather forgotten about amongst fellow audiophiles. It is not clamping on my head nor do the great velour ear pads make my ears and head hot and sweaty. Just try and listen to them if you have the chance, sumptuous sound and very lightweight and comfortable. They are engaging, versatile, transparent, musical, fun, involving, encompassing and a great all-rounder. What more can I say about these brilliant headphones? My amplifier is connected to a custom Nordost Heimdall 2 power cable with a IEGO pure silver IEC & a Furutech rhodium FI-UK plug with a AMR gold plated fuse inside. Modded Beyerdynamic T1 headphones with internal damping.
