Boss, the T1 would do you fine. Just make sure you get a nice amp like Schiit Asgard II or something similair and you'll be fine.

Btw the SRH840 can go bury itself against the Beyer and HiFiMan. Haha.

SRH840 is for monitoring. I guess it sticks to its purpose. Hmmm..

Btw, saw rumor about the T90J being priced close to T1. Wow

Yea.. same headphone, different build, different price. I do not see why anyone would buy that over a T1 at the same price. You're just buying the diamond dust that comes with it an not for any increase in SQ.

Wrong post.

Hi guys, I just walked away with Beyer cop from jaben nu sentral few days ago.. Officially a Beyer user now

Welcome to the club =D
The deal that current offered for Beyerdynamic COP malaysia is pretty amazing, there aren't any much competition going on for Made in Germany and custom sound slider in the same range.

Currently they are having this event going on, visit their page for exact location

Oh nice, gonna get one for the mic usage.

Yea, just got one for my gf, surprisingly the sound is quite good, it is less open and airy compare with DX120, however it is pretty balance and slightly lean towards bass frequency.

How does the sound signature compare to other IEMs within Rm169 budget ? Thinking of getting 1, ignoring the mic function. The review link given on Jaben side was quite general on it.

It is a steal for RM169, even selling at RM299, i still prefer this over the well reviewed klipsch s4.
MMX102 has much natural and balance signature, the enhancement of mid bass is there, aggressive sound performance without going for V-shape tuning.

It sounded like something 299.
Or better...

Hi Sifu-s, can I ask some opinion on this two item? XP 2 vs Vsonic Vsd1? Any different than price?

Any idea about price slash in T1? New version coming or amazon sales?

Which one should I get, Beyerdynamic DT 770 32ohm or Beyerdynamic DT 770 80ohm?

Source: I plan to use it with both my smartphone and laptop as sources. I usually prefer not to use amps as it's too much of a hassle to carry it around (can't walk around with too much stuff in your pockets, man).

The dilemma here is that the 80ohm have velour pads while the 32ohm version uses pleather pads. Despite knowing that the 32ohm suits my needs better, I want to buy the 80ohm for its comfy velour pads. From what I have read, the pillow-like, extremely comfortable velour pads are one of the main features of the beyer dt770 that people keeps bringing up.

Also, some people say that the 80ohm version works just fine unamped if listening at low volumes. How low is low volume? I usually listen to music at 70% loudness to prevent hearing damage.

IMHO, if you care about loudness only, then 80 ohm works just fine. If you care about the dynamics, proper amping and stuffs, then 32 Ohm might suit you better. Well, either way, it'd be very very good if you could test it out in the store, since you'd wanna know how much your laptop/smartphone output is.

hmm, DT770 itself isn't an easy to drive well headphone. Definitely need an amp to excel no matter which version. If you are planning to use it by direct plug in, why DT770?
A RM300 portable headphone might do a better job.

Suggestions?

There are too many options for headphones out there. But since you have chosen Beyerdynamic at first, I will give my recommendation base on Beyer as well.
For direct plug in, if you don't mind on ear headphone, can try DTX501p. Small, foldable but comfortable for wearing. It has very powerful and tight bass, good clarity for mid and treble. It mean for portable, definitely easier to drive than DT770.

If you want a higher range headphone instead of DTX501p, can also consider custom one pro. Though I still suggest to drive custom one pro with at least a DAC/amp. It is easier to drive than DT770 but not easy to be drive well. A COP that is not being drive well will sound a little empty in mids, music body is not very solid, and muddy in details. If you do find that the COP sounds like what I mentioned just now during your audition, then it's not being drive well.

hi all sifus here,

I hv just got myself the Beyer T1 and wow~ the sound quality is reali impressive... i am coming from an Akg k701.

However, one thing that i am slightly dissatisfied with is its mid which i would prefer it to be more forward. K701 is just so good with this~

With my current setup of Asus xonar E1 muse --> little dot mk3(stock tube) --> T1.

Am i able to bring the mid further forward just by changing the amp? tube change?
