REVIEW & AWARDS

T+A Solitaire T Review - Read More

"The T+A Solitaire has the best balance of any wireless ANC Bluetooth headphone at the time of writing this article. This is perhaps the first time I could truly forget that I was listening with a Bluetooth headphone. Why am I not giving this a Major HiFi Gold? The price and the sound stage. Why not a silver? The price. While this may be the most impressive wireless headphone I’ve reviewed, I have to admit that its hard to be okay with it going for twice as much as the Focal Bathys (which happens to beat out the Solitaire T in terms of sound stage). A price drop of a few hundred dollars would make the T+A Solitaire the best wireless headphone of the year. Honestly, I still think it is, and hope the future holds more wireless balances like the Solitaire T’s at more affordable prices." - Major HiFi

T+A Solitaire T review - Read More

"True to its Solitaire name, the T+A are gems, alone in a territory of wireless performance quality that no other pair we’ve heard can occupy.

They cost hundreds more than most people would ever dream of paying for headphones, wired or wireless, but for those who prioritise convenience and sound quality equally, and have the budget to spend big, the T+A Solitaire T nail that balance without compromise and are the most convincing wired/wireless hybrids we’ve come across. For now, they’re in a league of their own." - What Hi-Fi?

Second opinion: T+A Solitaire T review - Read More

"The T+A Solitaire T reminds me of a Porsche 911 Carrera, which is currently the base model 911. German engineering from a pedigreed designer. Unique looks. Exceptionally well-balanced. Expensive, but also significantly more affordable than its more ambitious siblings. Quirky? Yes, but only in ways that won’t be deal-breakers for the majority.

With both the Porsche car and the T+A headphone, we can find competing models that do this or that better – faster 0-60 or 1/4 mile times, superior bass extension, larger and more convincing soundstage, etc. – but when listening to the Solitaire T or driving the 911 Carrera, the vast majority of people won’t be focused on any of those things – they’ll be too impressed with the overall experience." - John Grandberg

T+A Solitaire Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Reviewed - Read More

"Thank God that there is a high-end market for wireless headphones. I travel too much to have to drag around wired headphones with fancy DAC-dongles and extra cables. The T+A Solitaire headphones deliver a very high-end audio system in a self-contained package. They are comfortable. They are built like they should have a Maybach logo on the ear cup. They have a few odd quirks, like the lack of physical buttons for volume control, but none of that is enough to exclude them. If you are going to make a purchase in this ever-changing world of high-end Bluetooth, over-the-ear headphones, you need to make the effort to find a pair of T+A Solitaires, click them into High Quality Mode, and put on a dozen or so of your favorite jams. You will be glad that you did. " - Jerry Del Colliano

"Judging the ‘worth’ of the T+A as a value proposition comes down to how many configurations you see yourself using. I’m willing to stick my neck out and say that, treated strictly as a passive, wired headphone, the T+A will keep Focal’s Celestee honest. Given that the Celestee is a significant chunk of the total cost of the T+A, that’s no mean feat. Both are closed-back designs that give enough of a feeling of space and three-dimensionality to their performance to make them viable for home use. The idea that the Solitaire T can mix it with the Focal – headphones I like very much – is deeply impressive."

"When you remember that you can power on the Solitaire T and listen to music on the move, wire-free, the scope of what T+A has built here becomes clear. Yes, in specific areas, the very best wireless and wired designs score points over it, and there’s no getting around the fact it isn’t 'cheap' – but the Solitaire T is a unique and formidable all-rounder. Highly recommended. " - Ed Selley

T+A Solitaire T Review - Read More

"If you listen to a choir from any opera by Verdi or Puccini, or a large orchestra, the sound is comparable to a very high-quality standmount speaker that plays powerfully and full-bodied; one that gives the impression of listening to a grown-up floorstanding speaker when your eyes are closed. Since the bass range of the T+A, for all its power, does not sound bloated or even unclean and blurry, as could be heard with Porcupine Tree, for example, the lower mids – voices and acoustic instruments – also remain beautifully identifiable in the soundstage and are not acoustically drowned out" - Michael Lang

"As passive headphones, with the added balanced signal path, these are headphones deserving of a proper headphone amplifier solution if you have it anyway. The portable flexibility offered by these headphones is just another value point in my view. The USB-C digital solution in the right company is the icing on the cake in respect of clean digital signal paths and all around, these headphones are well worth a listen if this is near your budget and they are worth the stretch." - Simon Wilce

T+A Solitaire T Wireless Headphone Review - Read More

"The Solitaire T is different to any other wireless headphone I remember testing. It's genuinely capable of being both a passive home headphone and travel companion in a way that nothing else has really managed to combine. It's not cheap but, like an over ear Range Rover, it really is a can for all occasions." - Ed Selley

T+A Solitaire T vs. Mark Levinson No. 5909 Comparison Review - Read More

"The Mark Levinson No. 5909 and the T+A Solitaire T both put the majority of their stock into excellent balances that break from traditional wireless EQ’s. What I hear about the Harman Curve seems to be true, as I do think the No. 5909 has a little more of universal appeal. However, I’m left with the impression that it sounds a little straight forward, and doesn’t impart much unique character to listens. Plenty of people will love this, so if you’re some one who is into super clean mix-engineer-intended headphones, the Mark Levinson No. 5909 is likely for you. While I would generally identify with that very crowd, there’s a livelier and more creative quality to what I heard with the T+A Solitaire T that still left it with a clean and highly articulate balance. So, yes, I personally preferred my time with the Solitaire T, especially with High Quality mode engaged. With the $600 price gap between these two headphones, however, I find the Mark Levinson to hold better value – but if you’re looking for the best, regardless of price, I would gently push you to check out the Solitaire T."  Major HiFi

T+A’s New Solitaire T Headphones Offer Great Passive And Wireless Performance With ANC - Read More

"T+A’s Solitaire T headphones are something of a triumph. Their no-nonsense styling is more BMW than Daimler, but the comfort levels are excellent. The sound quality is impeccable, whether analog, digital or wireless modes. The ANC function works faultlessly, thanks to that Sony CXD technology, while the Bluetooth is ably handled with Qualcomm’s high-end chipset. Adding a separate Esstech ES9218 Sabre DAC results in excellent high-resolution sound when used in HQ mode. For anyone who can’t decide whether to buy a great pair of wired headphones or a wireless version, the Solitaire T means they no longer have to choose. This pair of headphones offers the best of both worlds. They function as a superb pair of passive headphones while offering excellent wired or wireless digital performance, with the option of switching on ANC to eliminate unwanted sounds. Highly Recommended." - Mark Sparrow

Fidelity 2/2024 

 "Alles wird gut

Klang oder Usability? Fokus oder Vielfalt der Möglichkeiten? High End oder tragbar? T+A baut einen Kopfhörer, der auf all diese Fragen eine verblüffende Antwort gibt: T+A Solitaire T. Dass der Solitaire T etwas mehr als die Konkurrenz kostet, lässt sich angesichts des betriebenen Aufwandes und der gebotenen Qualität leicht verschmerzen. Zumal wir uns finanziell in einem Bereich bewegen, in dem andere nicht nicht einmal ein Stromkabel finden."

"Das Beste zweier Welten

Dürfte ich für den Rest meines Lebens nur noch einen Kopfhörer nutzen, der T+A Solitaire T wäre meine erste Wahl. Und im Vertrauen: Zurückblicken würde ich keinen Moment."

Hi-Fi Choice 3/2023 

"A can for all seasons

This isn´t simply a pricey wireless noise-cancelling headphone, but is instead three different headphones in one elegant package. Not everyone will need such a thing, but it is uniquely flexible and allows you to enjoy the benefits of a very capable passive home headphone that can be powered on, paired up and used in spaces that passive rivals will fear to tread. It isn´t cheap, but the Solitaire T does potentially offer exceptional value for money."

"Der Rundum-Glücklich-Kopfhörer

Der T+A Solitaire T verbindet das Beste aus zwei Welten. Er ist nicht nur ein hervorragender High-End Passivkopfhörer, sondern auch ein Überflieger unter den mobilen Bluetooth-Bügelkopfhörern und in beiden Anwendungsszenarien absolut kompromisslos. Was will man mehr?"

"New doors opened
Compact, but great-sounding headphones that convince with neutrality, fine details, a clean, deep bass and high level reserves via cable at the home stereo system as well as wirelessly and on the go. The workmanship is very good, the price high, but reasonable."

"Sound Talent
And in view of the diverse acoustic application possibilities, the small ear speaker naturally also receives my explicit recommendation."

"The world’s most expensive active noise cancelling headphones?

Flying under this commentator’s Munich High-End radar in May 2022 was German manufacturer T+A whose Solitaire T could be used as an ANC headphone wirelessly via Bluetooth (or wired via USB) and as an all-analogue passive headphone with no battery power required."

Stereo 4/2024 

"Kabellos und geräuschlos

Klangqualität: gut, sehr neutral, transparent und räumlich. Besonders gute Durchhörbarkeit und Tiefenstaffelung. Nur minimal schlechter mit aktiviertem ANC."
