Beyerdynamic T 70 Over-ear Headphone Review

$669.00

Conclusion

Earlier this year, Beyedynamic announced their line of Tesla headphones, which promised a new improvement on the dynamic driver design. By drastically increasing the magnetic strength of the drivers, Beyerdynamic has created drivers that require fewer voice coils to operate, and theoretically creating a driver that can move quicker, making the sound more accurate. While it's certainly possible that this is the case, we currently do not test for clarity, thus we cannot tell you for certain with scientifically-collected data.

While the Beyerdynamic T 70 is certainly impressive in many respects, we find that it does have some troubles that Beyerdynamic headphones typically do not have. We realize that it may take a while for Beyerdynamic's new technology to mature and become as polished as some of its older models of premium headphones, but it's not quite there yet.

All that being said, if you're an audiophile looking for something new that works very hard to preserve detail in sound, the Beyerdynamic T 70s, and the rest of the Tesla line are certainly worth a listen. Like we said, there are some blemishes in performance that are a little mystifying, but nothing that should destroy your listening experience, especially if you are a fan of high levels of detail in your music. Just be ready to pay through the nose for the novelty of having a driver that generates a magnetic field of 1.2 Tesla.
