Very nice review, I just brought a pair of second hand T51P from the market for $1300 HKD. This review ensures my purchases is right and love the remix clips at the end.
Love the review, this is the kind of stuff I sub for. My friend got a pair of the T51i just last week and we thoroughly tested them out for a week before purchase. Pretty much agree on all the points you mentioned, and think its the best on-ear headphone available
Thanks Lachlan. Bought these after your review. Compared them with the front runner which was the HD25 and these just sounded richer, felt more comfortable, and isolated better. Bass is a bit much for me, but I am adapting. Less of an issue outside. And the nice small size means I don't feel like an idiot wearing them on the street.
Thanks for the awesome review Lachlan. Was very hesitant initially as I haven't heard much of the brand but trusted your opinions and went ahead and picked one up and have been loving it so far! Great comfort and audio quality. Cheers! Looking forward to more from beyer and also your channel.
Another great review Lachlan! Have been a fan of yours since the very beginning! Definitely have to agree with you on this, the T51p's were definitely one of the best portable on-ears I've owned. Aside from the impressive audio quality, I thought the noise isolation was honestly brilliant on these! Would love to hear your thoughts on the Bowers & Wilkins P7...
Do you EQ these? The comfort is great but I found it a little too warm. Opening the sound up a bit, they became the perfect on-ear for me. They respond to eq extremely well. I struggled to find a comfortable, portable, neutral, closed headphone and this headphone with EQ fit the bill.
I am not a fan of "on-ear" headphones, especially in the $300 range, but I am glad you enjoy the T51P! Now where is the promised ATH-R70X detailed review??? Thanks!
Hey Lachlan. I'm looking forward to see you review the RHA T10i. I'm really interested in them, but want to see you opinion. Do you think they'll be a good enough replacement for the Shure SE215?
Hello Lachlan, very nice review. This headphone looks very appealing. Does it leak sound a lot when you go to higher volumes? I often use headphones in quieter places like the library and workplace. Also I don't like it when people can identify the music I am listening to. I hope that sound leakage would be something you can include in your future videos. Keep up the good work! :)
Hi, very nice review and very professional!! I am considering a portable headphone. Hesitating between the beyerdynamic t51p et the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 on ear. The beyerdynamic seems to have a better noise cancellation capability which i appreciate, Is the beyerdynamic good fit for sport practice? Thanks, and keep the good work! R
I have a Beyerdynamic DT1350 and I love it. What is the sound signature on the T51i/p compared to the DT1350? I heard it is a bit more warm. Which sound do you prefer?
+Peter Hyatt I never tried the T51p, however the DT 770 is not really good for all genres imho. The dt 770 has great subbass, much pronounced mid bass, the mids are very weak and recessed the highs sound fine to me, however some people claim that they sound siblant due to the famous beyer peak @ around 8-9khz (I think). The dt 770 250 ohm is a great headphone, but the weak mids and the emphasis on the bass make it not my first choice for a allround headphone. Than again I'm more of a neutral head, so I might think differently about this. If u are still on the market for headphones, I recommend visiting a local hifi store and listen to many different headphones until you find one you like.
I thought i found my on-ear headphones, but your review made me think twice. What portable over ear headphones would you recommend instead of the T51p moslty for classical and rock/metal music?
Hi Lachlan, really enjoy your videos. I'm not sure whether you take suggestions, but I'd be interested in hearing what you think about the Harman Kardon NC1 and the Philips Fidelio NC1 and whether they are worthy competitors to the Bose QC25. Keep up the vids, this is my go to channel for headphone vid :).
The T51p is a mighty interesting pair. I'm just very disappointed with Beyer's decision of the non-removable cable. The fact that the T51p had a number of previous incarnations (T50p/DT1350, etc.), it still boggles my mind why they haven't improved the cable. Same thing applies to the DT770/880/990, considering the Custom One Pro had removable cables. But enough rant. The T51p sounds like a bit of a departure from the DT1350. If you can still recall, is the T51p considerably warmer and more upper-bassier than the DT1350?
Hey Lachlan, i think you should really check out the Bowers and wilkins P5 S2! I never got to listen to the beyerdynamic t51 but many reviewers on headfi say that the p5s are a lot better. I got to test drive the p5s in an apple store and BOYY are they amazing! Built quality is incredible, they come with a 2 year warranty, they are super comfy, they isolate well and most of all they have this super fun, non-fatiguing sound that I love (I'm very sensitive to treble.) I bought them from amazon the second i got home! I would love if you checked em out. I really think you'd love them. Also, I was wondering how good the noise isolation on the t51 is.. is it as good as an iem like the shure se215? I could still return the p5s and that's why i was wondering
Cool! I'm an IEM guy but getting into on ear portables recently. I have both HD25 and Amperior, I think they're evenly cool with a slight nod to the Amperior for overall SQ. I am thinking about DT1350 but not sure yet. Lachlan, have you ever heard the AIAIAI TMA-1?
Yeah similar story here but people seem to say quite a lot nice things about those so they caught my attention a bit, if you could get hands on some it would be nice to hear your opinion... Grado has quite a lot fans around and it would be nice to hear objective, real review from you!
***** I dunno, Grados aren't really touted as "portable" headphones. I've seen people do so (SR60/80s, not GS1000s), but they might be the ones with only one pair of headphones. Or it might be because low-end Grados are often compared to things like the PX100 or Koss PortaPro.
You mentioned it's the most comfortable on ear. How do these compare against Bose sound true on ear you reviewed on your channel? Comfort and portability are really important, if not the most important, factors to me. Therefore, I'm also considering IEM vs On-ear if you have any recommendation in both areas.
+Chia Dai I currently own momentum over-ear first gen and used to own hd598, ma900 (thx for the recommendation) and philips L1. Among all, I love the momentum signature the most but at the same time don't feel they're comfortable enough for longer listening session and portable enough. Primarily looking for a portable solution for school/office work that saves my bag space.
Hi. I bought these some time ago after watching your review. I love their sound! Thanks for that. Now, I am looking for good headphones for vocals (esp. females'). I saw your video saying that Fostex TH909 are excellent for that, but they are above my budget. Could you suggest good ones with less than 1500 Euro (sub 1000 would be best)?
Speaking of on-ear headphones, he hasn't reviewed any of the Grado line has he? I'd definitely like to see a review of the SR80e and maybe the rest of the Prestige series.
I've never really been interested in Grado because they are open portable headphones. They don't make much sense to me. I'm sure they sound nice but they seem a bit silly.
***** I do agree in that I think it was a weird design choice to make (at least the prestige series) on-ear, but I don't think they were ever intended to be portable.
When you said that cable is not detachable it was end for me, that expensive headphones dont have detachable cable?? and they are portable. Mine cable headphones always get destroyed couse of cable and i really liked this beyer:(((
There is only one problem with them: they always get tangled in my hair. So if I want to listen to music without suffering at the end, I just have to make a ponytail
Reviews of cans can be informative but ultimately useless for the average consumer. The choice of can IMO is 100% a subjective decision. Ive owned almost very possible can out there including this model and thought this was one of the worst of the high end ones
Come back Lachlan, 61K headphone junkies miss you and your chill reviewing style!
My review of the Beyerdynamic T51P! It's my new favourite portable. WARNING: This review may contain trace amounts of dubstep.

The return of the BGM! Even if it was only for the intro, it takes me back to the early days of your channel when you used them, lol.

Bass is a bit much for me, but I am adapting. Less of an issue outside. And the nice small size means I don't feel like an idiot wearing them on the street.
Listening to this review on T51s purchased on your recommendation...Making me spend so much money just like that!! hahaha xD
Thanks for the awesome review Lachlan. Was very hesitant initially as I haven't heard much of the brand but trusted your opinions and went ahead and picked one up and have been loving it so far! Great comfort and audio quality. Cheers! Looking forward to more from beyer and also your channel.
+Sean Ho no worries! Glad that I could help out and you're a happy new owner. Look forward to hearing from you in the future!

Holy crap that outro came out of nowhere!Legitimately startled me haha
I really wish I could try this headphone. I have to agree, Beyerdynamic nailed the design on this headphone.
Love those little bobblehead-type figures on the shelf!
Very nice video Lachlan. Nice to see the direction your channel is headed in.
Terry Cole Thanks! There were all kinds of behind the scenes changes to how this video was made, so I'm glad you liked it :)
***** Do you think you'll experiment w/ other product reviews? (outside of audio)
Terry Cole Yes I want to. But I've been saying that for a while now! -___-
Great review Lachlan. My favourite sounding portable is still the ATH ES700
I am not a fan of "on-ear" headphones, especially in the $300 range, but I am glad you enjoy the T51P! Now where is the promised ATH-R70X detailed review??? Thanks!
Great Review! I just ordered them. What's the name of the program that is shown on your monitor and shows the album art?
Hey Lachlan. I'm looking forward to see you review the RHA T10i. I'm really interested in them, but want to see you opinion. Do you think they'll be a good enough replacement for the Shure SE215?
Lachlan, awesome video as usual! :D
One thing: Where did you get those awesome bobbling head figures in your background? I need them in my life.
***** They were a gift! They're called Nohohons. I think you can find them at asian toy stores :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohohon_Zoku
hi! I love your review. have you tried the Beyerdynamic Custom Street? I'm between the 51p and the Custom Street..which one would you buy? thanks!
Hi Lachlan, Great review!
Where did you get these two bobble headed thingies in the back?
Ilan D They were a gift from a long time ago, not sure if you can still find them now but you'd have to go to some Asian toystore I guess!
Thanks, Lachlan! Where is your in-depth review of the ATH-R70X?
Thumbs up for the head banging.
Hey Lachlan nice review. Are these more comfortable than the KEF M500s?
Ooh I'm not sure, don't have the M500 anymore. The earpads are more plush on the M500 but the Beyer is lighter...
Hello Lachlan, very nice review. This headphone looks very appealing. Does it leak sound a lot when you go to higher volumes? I often use headphones in quieter places like the library and workplace. Also I don't like it when people can identify the music I am listening to.

Brought back the background music I see.
I have a Beyerdynamic DT1350 and I love it. What is the sound signature on the T51i/p compared to the DT1350? I heard it is a bit more warm. Which sound do you prefer?
Diggin the addition of music!
Miniature Barbarian Haha. For a while I had music in all my videos, and then none. Now I am going to try to use it judiciously...
What would you prefer, the 51s or Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 ohm for all types of music? thanks!
+Peter Hyatt I never tried the T51p, however the DT 770 is not really good for all genres imho. The dt 770 has great subbass, much pronounced mid bass, the mids are very weak and recessed the highs sound fine to me, however some people claim that they sound siblant due to the famous beyer peak @ around 8-9khz (I think).

Yeah! I review. Can you do those matchup on another channel?
Dat outro! Nice review :)

Rohan Espada I suspect it is a fair bit thicker than the DT1350, but I'm only going from a vague memory...
Yey ur back Lachy :D
Great review. Any idea where I could find those bobble heads in the back?
jctrevi89 They're a relatively common asian toy but not sure where you could buy em.. they were a gift for me!
Hey Lachlan, i think you should really check out the Bowers and wilkins P5 S2! I never got to listen to the beyerdynamic t51 but many reviewers on headfi say that the p5s are a lot better. I got to test drive the p5s in an apple store and BOYY are they amazing! Built quality is incredible, they come with a 2 year warranty, they are super comfy, they isolate well and most of all they have this super fun, non-fatiguing sound that I love (I'm very sensitive to treble.) I bought them from amazon the second i got home! I would love if you checked em out. I really think you'd love them.

Cool! I'm an IEM guy but getting into on ear portables recently. I have both HD25 and Amperior, I think they're evenly cool with a slight nod to the Amperior for overall SQ. I am thinking about DT1350 but not sure yet. Lachlan, have you ever heard the AIAIAI TMA-1?
I own the TMA-1 Studio and reviewed it. I don't recommend it. The TMA-1 is a little different. No idea about the TMA-2 though.
***** Ok, I will trust your judgement. =)
For deep base: try an AKG451 (also on ear!).
The end was such a treat... Hehe :3
Nice review! Have you tried Grado's (SR325) equivalent of T51p? How does it compare?
I haven't. I don't really like the idea of Grado's. Open portables make very little sense to me. I'm sure they sound nice enough though.
Yeah similar story here but people seem to say quite a lot nice things about those so they caught my attention a bit, if you could get hands on some it would be nice to hear your opinion... Grado has quite a lot fans around and it would be nice to hear objective, real review from you!

I want that shirt cool headphones nice reviews bud!
hey lachlan how does this headphone compair to the beyerdynamic dt1350?
Among the t51p and amperior, which has better soundstage/imaging???
I want these so bad just hate that it has a non removable cable which is crazy. If the cables are damaged the headphones are done
Hi. I bought these some time ago after watching your review. I love their sound! Thanks for that.

Audio Technica A2000z is nice :)
@@lachlanlikesathing thanks for your reply! I'll check them out.
Bought these wknd. Best headphones ive ever had. Is there a way to get the buttons to work on Android phones? Ie pause, forward, skip tracks etc???
Speaking of on-ear headphones, he hasn't reviewed any of the Grado line has he? I'd definitely like to see a review of the SR80e and maybe the rest of the Prestige series.

Would u choose this headphone or the sennheiser hd 25
Hey Lachlan, have you had a chance to listen to the Vsonic VSD5?
Not yet!
Which woul you prefer the T51p or the audio technica ath m70x?
Where is the rest of the ATH-R70X review????
which has the best bass response in terms of control and definition ? T51p or Amperior?
juan luis Quiroz guevara I'm going to say... the Amperior, marginally.
*****
I appreciate your comments!
Actually which headphones would you personally recommend for a wider sound stage experience?
For a portable? Probably the Audio Technica ATH-ES10 or the M70x.
***** Hmm, how about over ear models?
***** The M70x is over ear? But if you are talking full size, the AKG K712 Pro is a pretty good option.
***** I'll have a look at them. Thanks for the recommendation. Keep up with the good work. =)
***** I heard the Bang & Olufsen H6 has a really wide sound stage? For on ear wireless their H8 is suppose to be good?
the last 10 second is epic :D
These or Bang & Olufsen H2?
difference with 1350facelift?
I trust you, I will buy it.
Which is better, these or V-Moda M-100?
***** For me i have to give it to the v moda M-100 i like the T51P but the treble is soft plus the build quality of the Vmoda trumps the T51P

Could you recommend a decent tube amplifier and DAC for me?
Check out the Little Dot Tube amplifiers and the ODAC
theres a place called minidisc?
Can you review the rha t10i earbuds please
Great headphones but the double entry wires are so annoying
really nice headphone.
Supirse how portable these over the headphone are. Usallay hate over the headphones since there so flipping big
do they leak much sound
+Lachie Frost people have told me they do not.
Can you review the munitio pro40
dat last part....

beyerdynamics really hate detachable cables don't they - __ -
Well they're slowly adapting the detachable cable trend. I think with the newer Models such as the T1 2.0 they're doing a step in the right direction
That's because it's from Germany, Germany means quality :)
forget the headphones i wanna know who his hairdresser is
Swig
beyerdynamic is a great brand. all their headphones are great
