Anyone tried the Oyaide 3,5 mm. 1/8 angled jack ? Does it fit the  1/8 input jack ?   Thanks

I read through the thread here, and couldn't find out whether or not the Shure 840 pads actually clamp in place on the Fostex T50RP's or if you need to do some tear down construction to get them on. Any idea on whether or not the 840 pads clamp in the original earpads place?     Thanks...

Hi All,   I am looking for an upgrade to my closed cans (Senn HD280 pros).    I have narrowed to DT770 250 Ohm Beyers or Modded T50RP Fostex - but I would welcome other recs.   Would like to stay around $200.   I like Rock, Classic Rock, Folk, 70's rock, prog rock, some jazz with good...

i have been looking all over online. i read that a website was selling them for 75.. and an other website had referbs for 65.. i have been looking for 3 days and can't find anything other cheaper than the amazon price of 100. do any of you guys know a place that sells them at a cheaper price...

Which one? I'm more into dubstep/EDM and would like clarity along with a deep, impactful bass. Those 4 choices stump me. I also do not have much modding experience/would rather not do it, so stock T50s here.   I have a budgt of around $130, maybe 150

Circumstances (financial and otherwise) have changed and I need to replace my Stax lambdas (I had a couple pairs, I liked the originals paired with a new amp most, but all were similar) with something cheaper, more durable, and with more noise attenuation.   I'm looking for dynamic...

So I'm returning some recently bought ATH M50s and a Fiio E6 amp to Amazon. I really liked the M50s but I kept getting crackling sounds through some of my music no matter how I listened to it. Also, in general they just weren't for me. That being said, Ive got about $200 Amazon gift money and...

Through my headphone journey this month I ended up with all these cans (The HE-400's are on loan so i'll have to pick up a pair) will be returning most of them, but before I did I thought I would do anyone looking at these cans a service. I didn't have very much time at all to do this video, nor...

Hi, I was in the market for a pair of portable headphones, and i am getting a pair of Mad Dogs by Mr. Speakers. My only problem with my portable setup now is that i have no way of carrying/transporting the phones safely in a backpack, so i have decided to purchase a hard case.  So far i am...

There was/is a closed Audeze prototype in the works, but are there any other closed orthos available at the moment?

I'm looking to buy closed headphones for less than $ 80 USD. For background info, I listen to classic rock, Motown, Bob Marley, acoustic rock/folk, old school country, etc. My right ear is missing one of the bones in the middle so I can hear, but its quieter than left ear. I'm 50 years old so...

Over the past year I've discovered the world of high end headphones and since then I have developed an audio fetish. I started my journey trying to find the best headphones for me, but I always seemed to be disappointed. I tried countless of different headphones, everything from Sennheiser...

Would this case http://www.smsby50.com/products/hard-shell-carry-case   Fit Mad Dogs?

The Fostex T50RP looks like fun with all the modding possibilities... However if it cannot be modded to have good sub bass then I am not interested....   If these are modded using some of the simple mods such as 840 pads and bass ports etc. do these have good sub bass? Most reviews of the...

How do these compare to the Sure srh440? I was thinking about replacing my Sony V6 headphones. I want another closed headphone I can use for isolation in car rides and on the go. Which would be the best between this two headphones?   Does the fostex have a straight or coiled cable?

Hi,   I wanted to understand if someone is running a similar setup and if clip + would really benefit from an amp. If so can you please share your views on amps you have with same/similar setup ?   Stock T50RP was alright but after the modifications I "feel" it can do better with an...

Hey everyone, I need a pair of cans for about 100$ for listening at home. Thoose will be used for listening to alot of generes of music. from Rock to Dubstep, from Jazz to Rap. Comfort is a crucial detail so please, no cans with known comfort problems. I want to be able to wear those for...

So I broke the hanger holder on the left side.       It looks like I can buy a replacement part at B&H, but do I need both front and back parts? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Shop-by-Brand-Fostex/phd/4291439885/ci/4/pn/2/N/4294255798   Also, it seems kinda hard to get to the...

I've been looking into several cans   - Mad Dogs by MrSpeaker - Ultrasone Pro 900 - Beyer DT 880 (250 Ohm) - HE-400   Questions :-   Mad Dogs - Are they just a modded headphone from the Fostex T50RP? Or its their own headphone that they modified themselves ?   Ultrasone Pro...

I'm an owner of the Audio Technica M50, and I'm looking for a headphone that will do the deep, punchy and slamming bass of that headphone, yet be open-backed and offering more of a sense of space.   Will the HD650 deliver that? Or is the bass noticeably going to be lacking compared to the M50?

I've got around 250 to blow on an amp that will be replacing my Jds O2. I'm looking for a solild state that will pair well with my modded Fostex T50rp's, for the mod it; was the BMF V8.1 with a couple custom touches of my own. I'm looking for something transparent, clear, and with a high output...

I've been searching many hours for top notch Monitor headphones for around $100. I've narrowed it down to 3 models:   Audio Technica ATH-M50 ~$100 Sony MDR-7506 ~ $90 Sennheiser HD 280 ~$70   I've heard really good things about all of them, and am very torn on which ones should come...

My mother, being the wonderful person she is, gave me a pair of Dre Beat Studo's for my 23rd this year.  While I do appreciate her thought, they just.... fail. I've had them waaay past the return date, (trying to give them a chance) so I can't return them.... So I got the idea to sell them...

I work in an open office plan where there are a lot of distracting conversations.  Open earbuds don't isolate enough.   Currently I use a pair of Fostex T50RP closed back around-ear headphones.  They isolate well enough, but my ears get fatigued after using them for a few hours, probably because...

Hello all, I'm looking for a pair of headphones to be used at home mostly out of a MacBook Pro (2010), occasionally with an iPod Classic (80GB). I don't have much experience with headphones, but I'm using a pair of Westone UM3x. I'd like these headphones to be a complement to my UM3x if...
