FS: Fostex T50RP - Modified or Unmodified Version

Will Ship To: United States

I have 2 pair of Fostex headphones.  My intent is to keep one pair, if the potential buyer were to choose one pair over the other.

 

Unmodified version: I just received this pair last Saturday morning from Amazon via overnight delivery.  I paid $Keeping$ + $19.95 in shipping charges.  I'm asking $Keeping$ for this pair.  Features of this pair:

 

  • Original box and instruction sheet
  • Original cable with 1/4" silver TRS connector that connects to the left ear cup

 

 

 

Modified Version: I have a 3-week-old modified version also available, if the buyer would like to choose this option.  The modifications consist of:

 

  • Installation of Dynamat material on speaker baffle
  • Installation of Plastix / non-hardening clay over the Dynamat and around the driver
  • Installation of Plastix / non-hardening clay in the deep crevices of the cups
  • Covered the insides of the cups with closed cell 1/4" thick foam
  • Installed a ring of acoustic foam on the upper inside of the cups themselves
  • Installed a 6 foot Canare black 4-conductor cable that feeds into both ear cups, not a single ear cup like the original
  • The existing plug / socket for the original cable was covered up with a plastic plug to seal the cups and provide a more professional appearance
  • Installed a 1/4" Neutrik gold-plated TRS connector
  • Covered 2 of the 9 squares on the back of the drivers for a slightly lifted treble presence
  • Opened / removed the square piece of felt on the outside (ear side) of the driver to allow better sound transition to the ear
  • The original ear pads are in place and were not replaced
  • Original box and instruction sheet are present

 

I am asking $SOLD$ for the modified pair.  The sound is actually really good with these.  The modifications followed were those that were basically described within the forums here.  I did stop short on a few of the modifications - I did not install cotton balls into the ear cups, nor did I install any materials under the ear pads to bump them out.  There are still a few other options the future owner could work with if they desired a slight improvement over where they currently are.  However, I still think the sound is quite good and felt that I should stop right where I did and not over-do the modification process.

 

Shipping: I can ship either pair out on Monday February 13th via USPS Priority Mail Shipping.  The shipping charges would amount to $15.00 and include $11.35 for a medium rate box, $.70 cents for delivery confirmation and approximately $3.00 for insurance on the package.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Never too late.  There's another member on the FS section selling a pair of modified Fostex phones with the Shure 840 ear pads for $100 + shipping.
