REW Frequency Response
Sound quality description
The beyerdynamic T5 3rd Generation has a low to mid-frequency focused sound that tends to be flat and mildly U-shaped.
The sound tends to be flat and mildly U-shaped, with a wide soundstage despite being sealed. The midrange is rich and resonant, with a wide range and depth, which is good for enjoying small JAZZ and chamber music. If you like the generous and majestic sound that is typical of German audio manufacturers, and like the sound of SENNHEISER's higher-end models, you will love the T5 3rd.
The following review was tested with a FiiO M15.

Sound quality general comment
- Original Sound Fidelity: B
- Recommendation: B
- Personal preference: B-
The beyerdynamic T5 3rd Edition seems to have attempted to create a soundstage that is unlike any other sealed model, and it has half achieved it.
Personally, I don't feel it's worth paying close to 100,000 yen for this at all, but it's not bad for those who like laid-back music. If you want to enjoy small chamber JAZZ or chamber music in a quiet atmosphere, you can enjoy the sound of a private music room.

General comment
While it is true that I personally prefer beyerdynamic, the T5 3rd Edition is not a model that I particularly want. I don't even want to recommend it personally.
It's not bad if you like rich midrange expression with a relaxed sound, but it's not as full as I thought it would be because the sound is not thick enough. The vocals are also kind of gloomy and lacking in energy, with a hint of darkness, which could be described as calm and reserved, but lacks interest in most songs. The build and package quality is worth the price, but if you go to an audio store with $1000 in your pocket, you can find better headphones than this. There is almost no need to grab this one.
