Setup

Operating the Headphones

Wearing Comfort

The beyerdynamic T 1 2nd Generation headphones are designed for extended listening sessions. They feature breathable, super-soft ear cushions made of protein-coated synthetic leather with memory foam, ensuring high wearing comfort. Adjust the headband to find the perfect fit that minimizes pressure points and maximizes sound isolation (while maintaining their semi-open characteristic).

Audio Playback

Once connected to your audio source, begin playback. Adjust the volume on your source device to a comfortable listening level. These semi-open headphones provide a natural soundstage and are ideal for critical listening in quiet environments.

The 600 Ohm impedance of these headphones means they are designed to be driven by dedicated headphone amplifiers or high-quality audio sources capable of providing sufficient power for optimal performance.

Maintenance and Care

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surfaces of the headphones. For the ear cushions, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the headphones in their provided luxury hard carry case to protect them from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
  • Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. When detaching, pull from the connector, not the cable itself.
  • Temperature: Avoid exposing the headphones to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
