This model of the Tesla (T) 1 headphones altered the sound significantly from what we "expected" from Beyerdynamic's past T1 versions. Gone was the "Beyer Mountain" around 6-8 kHz. Added was significantly more mid and lower bass.

I really like this version, but it was a real shock when I first heard it after long term exposure to the prior T1 Generation 2. OMG - what's with all the bottom end detail I've never heard before? Where did the treble sting go? Despite all the naysayers looking at frequency response graphs, this is the real masterpiece of the 3 T1 generations IMHO.

I'll leave it to Beyerdynamic to finish the description here:

Hand Made and acoustically optimised in a new, appealing design, the third generation of the high-end T1 headphones from are better than ever before.

The T1 headphones feature Tesla transducers developed by Beyerdynamic Germany. Individually measured and matched in pairs, they guarantee maximum sound precision and natural reproduction. The special arrangement of the drivers and the open-back design of the T1 headphones also ensure precise spatial perception. With this generation of the T1, the spatial sound gets a gentle bass boost for a warmer sound experience.

For the best possible signal transmission to the headphones, the T1 headphones feature detachable cables made of high-purity OCC 7N copper. The balanced mode connection cables available as accessories offer even further potential for sound optimisation.

Only the highest-quality materials are used, coated stainless steel and brushed, anodised aluminium, as well as Alcantara. This not only gives the T1 headphones an elegant design and high-quality feel, but also guarantees a long working life. Replaceable ear pads, which adapt particularly well to the wearer thanks to memory foam, are extremely comfortable to wear and guarantee long-lasting, carefree listening enjoyment.
