Well, you'll find "mixed" reviews of practically every headphone out there so take the news with a grain or two...I have not listened to the new T-1 V2, but the reviews seem to be saying that it is better suited to acoustic music, jazz, and classical than the original T-1.
The original T-1 caters slightly more to the tastes of those who liked the old Beyer "house sound" (DT-880, slightly up-tilted upper frequencies, etc...), while providing a smoother, more extended, more refined sound and a bigger "soundstage".
So, either version could be an excellent choice but the V-1 would be the better choice if you listen to a lot of Rock, Techno, and similar styles. Also, the V-2 would cost you $200 - $300 more than the now discontinued V-1.

Thanks for the reply. What kind of power would I need for these? I like the Decware amp you mentioned, but I am also looking at the Woo Audio WA6-SE. Would either/both of these work?

Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you.

T-1 is a 600 ohm headphone, so you can cross some cheap amps and most portable amps off of your list. The best thing to do before buying any amp is to contact the manufacturer for recommendations.Either the Decware or the Woo would do nicely, I'm sure. I like the Decware because it is so adjustable.
