The Beyerdynamic T1 3rd Generation headphones are premium open-back, over-ear headphones designed for sophisticated music enjoyment at home. They feature tilted Tesla dynamic drivers developed and individually measured in Germany to ensure extreme precision and a spacious sound signature. The open-back design and angled drivers provide natural spatial sound reproduction, making the music appear as if it is on a center stage in front of the listener. The headphones use high-quality materials including lacquered stainless steel, brushed and anodized aluminum, and Alcantara® for durability and elegance. The ear pads are breathable velour with memory foam for comfort during long listening sessions. The cable is a 3-meter double-sided detachable cable made from ultra-high-purity OCC7N copper, covered with fabric, and includes gold-plated connectors (3.5 mm stereo jack with a 6.35 mm adapter). The headphones weigh approximately 360 grams without the cable. They have a nominal sound pressure level of 100 dB (1 mW), a frequency response from 5 to 50,000 Hz, an impedance of 32 ohms, and a power handling capacity of 300 mW. The headband pressure is approximately 4 N, providing a comfortable fit. The T1 is handmade in Germany and comes with a hard case for protection. These headphones are not designed for mobile use due to their impedance and open-back design but excel in home and studio environments where high fidelity and spatial accuracy are paramount.
