Harnessing the power of the Tesla, the T1 employs a transducer and 600 Ohm voice coil that ensures higher audio reproduction efficiency and fidelity. These semi-open headphones also offer better clarity and a more spacious listening environment due to the special tilted transducers. Tuned for improved warmth and a more accurate bass response.

The Tesla technology particularly enhances the higher frequencies of the T1. An incredibly fine balance exists between intensity and detail within the highs. Due to the semi-open design, these headphones should be reserved from private home use. Beyerdynamic prides themselves on the replication of source sound and enjoyment offered by the T1.
