Zepp, please let me know how the T1's sound. Break in withstanding
Milford: I didn't spend a ton of time with the DT880s, but the T1s are a pretty significant step up from what I've experienced so far. I'm accustomed to planar quality bass with my Magnepans, and I dare say the bass on the T1s approaches that level of quality. It's really very impressive. So far I really can't find many shortcomings at all...bass is great...midrange is very present and well articulated...top end is maybe just a TAD bright, but I tend to like that. Very balanced overall and very engaging. Lots and lots of detail...a startling amount, actually. I only paid $940 for them new, but I feel the full retail of $1295 is fully justified given the performance. I love my Grado 325s but this headphone is superior to that one. I'm surprised I'm liking it this much, actually!
