After I had indulged in the T1 to me some time ago, I was now able to start with a colleague who has the DT 880, a direct comparison. Both should of course be operated with a headphone amplifier, in this case, the Lehmann Black Cube Linear, which has two headphone outputs has and therefore is ideal for a comparison. Because we know that the brain can remember a sound for a few seconds. The T1 will cost about 650, - more. In this respect, the expectations were high. As for processing, the T1 is clearly in the lead. It is handmade and this one sees him, one has for him a considerably more stable storage, the cables go individually to each earpiece, which increases comfort and have a higher diameter (about 3 mm). Now for the sound: If anything, suggests the DT 880 to T1 in only one, the Bass. He who comes in the stronger to bear, but it go by the other sounds a bit lost. The T1 has a more harmonious, more cohesive and particularly precise and deitailreicheres sound. Another difference is that the T1 the speakers in the shell are installed at an angle from the front in the earpiece and not, as usual classic, parallel to the earpiece. This is a listening experience wiedergebn from the front and not from "above" stronger. Succeeded degree in classical music! In addition, the T1 covers very well the differences of various CD productions. Since there is currently grad "in" Re-master of all old recordings, no matter now classical, rock, pop or whether to bring to market, you can very well find out what Remaster is worthwhile ...
All in all, an absolute high-end handset at the rock / pop music, however something is missing the bass. Since I can not forgive 4 1/2 stars, I hear more about this classical headphones and also rounding up from 0.5, I give the 5 star .;)
