I have a nice setup for these headphones at home but I love the sound and I am on the go very often, and would like to be able to drive them from either my ipod while I'm at the library. FInals coming up :/.   So what are some powerful amps with low output impedance for these 50 Ohm Orthos??

Durability is very important since I keep messing my headphones up,  listen to all sorts of music, mostly Hip Hop, Classic Rock and Psychedelic Trance.

I have been looking for these headphones but they are kinda hard to find...   ive seeen them go as low as $70 before on amazon, but right now their going for 109$...should i jump or wait until price fluctuates?    Also, I hear tons of comments on how they sound modded, but how are they...

As the Title says! I am receiving a pair of Fostex T50RPs (Was going to get a pair of ATH-M30s but the orthodynamic driver of the T50RPs intrigue me somewhat) as a gift some time soon. I am intending on using them as a portable set, as my SoundMagic P50s just died and I haven't had a decent...

Total beginner here at headphones and IEM.   Spent the last three days studying up on everything I could on here, reading ljokerl's threads and reviews on different headphones, and all the terminology.   I was going back and forth between the Audio-Technica M50s, the HF5, the Sony...

I'm debating a set of Fostex T50RP, or a modded variant, but I want to know how durable they are.  My last set of cans had structural problems, suffering 2 breaks over 3 years just from every-day use--not good for $170 headphones.   So, have you, dear T50RP owner, had yours break?  If so, what...

I am in the market for headphones and am curious about the t50rp. I am considering getting a pair like thunderpants in modifications. I like the mids best about my sextetts. Has anyone ever heard both? Comparison would be great. I just dont wanna drop major coin and not like them. My music...

I know some of you guys recabled the Fostex but I'm not knowledgeable enough to make my own headphone cable. So I go to thinking, the plug on the headphone is 3.5 mm,  if I buy an angled 3.5 mm adapter, a 3.5 to 3.5 cable, i can then combine then into a new cable. Would that work? It won't lock...

Is it the resonance/lack of bass the main issue or something else? I'm not a bass head so I can eq or bass boost the phones from an amp. As for resonance, I don't think i noticed much. My main concern is the soundstage. I like big soundstages, I want to feel like I'm in the audience and not next...

  I'll be honest, I don't know what I'm doing, but I do know that I need a cable for my headphones. I'm looking for something    around $100 like the Zysonix Xev, but you guys are the pros, so what would you recommend? Also, if anybody could direct   me to a good how-to guide for...

I recently got a Fostex T50rp and it came with a 6.3mm stereo plug cable with the locking 3.5mm jack on the other end.  I can use a standard 3.5mm stereo jack cable, but then I lose the locking mechanism.  I don't want to use an adaptor, is there a 3.5mm-3.5mm cable that has that locking...

I am going to mod the T50Rp's soon, and will be in need of a good amp to power them. The Amp must be under 100$, preferably portable, and must sound nice with my T50RP's, I was thinking of the Electric Avenues PA2V2, but any other suggestions will be appreciated, Thanks!

do anyone have them or heard them both?? I have never had any proper full size headphones, Ive always been an iem person.   can you just tell me the differences and if there are any other in the same price range that I should consider?   and are amps necessary (i currently have the Cowon...

This headphones seems to be of interest to a lot of members so I thought I get it to try and do an unboxing for you.  I'm breaking it in right now so stay tuned for my impressions.    

Hi there,   can anybody tell me where I can buy the Fostex T50RP in Thailand ?   I am on my holidays now and have all the time and passion to mod them properly    I am in Krabi now, next week in Bangkok. I am willing to pay a reasonable price but not the RRP which seems to be 6500...

which one do you think will suit me better if i plan to use it as a portable full sized headphone? good thing about t50rp is its significantly cheaper but is it inferior in performance? and how about portability? because i do plan to buy one headphone for portable use and stop buying audio...

I have a pair of Grado 125 that have seen better days... they rattle, the cans fall apart, the cord is pretty twisted in spots, and the ear pads are molting (again, 2nd set). The drivers are still nice, and I would like to mod these, but I was thinking of maybe getting a different set for at...

Does anyone have suggestions on 1/8" plugs (preferably right angle or 45 degree angle) that fit the 1/8" input jacks on the Fostex T50RP?  I would like to have an aftermarket cable made but the depth and size of the hole where the 1/8" jack is located is troublesome in finding a plug that will...

http://rinchoi.blogspot.com/2012/07/effect-of-break-in-fostex-t50rp.html   Ouch, I would have done so much better with the left REW measurement, only if I was not drinking $amuel Adams at that time.. 

Hi everyone,   I would to ask someone who heard both D7000 (stock or modded) and T50RP phones (modded) which headphones are generally better in those categories:   1) Comfort 2) Level of detail (not clarity = emphasised highs!), imaging, separation...   I am not asking about which...

I'm going to mod a pair of Fostex T50RP and I have a few questions. Specifically, what do the mods accomplish in regards to changing things like bass, mid-range, treble, soundstage, etc.   My following questions are:   1. What does applying plasticine/modeling clay around the driver do...

Ok, so these both are awesome mods. they really change the fostex into a whole new headphone. Both of these headphones are made to compete in the $400 and up headphone category. The Mad dogs can eb found for $260, where the Thunderpants can be found for $450+. I understand that the Thunderpants...

Are have a few questions regarding the Fostex T50RP, as somebody that is used to the V shape is there a modification convert the cans into more of a V shape or boost the bass to more a flat line?   sorry i was looking in the wrong section for mods and i found exactly what i wanted. can a mod...

I need some help - I managed to drop my modded Fostex T50RPs on the floor and broke the little plastic black tip that secures the cup to the metal rail of the headband.  The Fostex site is pretty useless as far as replacement parts go, and ebay came back empty.  Any of you out there who have...

I have been looking for an DAC/amp for my expertly modded T50RP and I think I now have saved enough for a Fiio E17.   Are they a fitting companion to an otherwise great pair of headphones, it's just that the soundcard of my current laptop sucks big time, so I've been looking for a reasonable...
