[InsanityOne]

For anyone wondering, it is entirely possible to mod detachable cables onto Fostex TH-X00 series headphones. The two most popular options are Sennheiser HD800 connectors and Hifiman SMC connectors. I will post a photo of my TH600's that I had @PETEREK do for me. It is a fairly inexpensive and quick procedure as well.
 
(Other mods shown are Lawton Audio Level 1 Mod, Martin Custom Audio Cocobolo Deep Cups, and additional Beyerdynamic Headpad)
 

 
Personally I would love to get my hands on a pair of TH-X00's at some point and do all the same mods to them as my old TH-600's, minus changing the beautiful cups of course

Yeah, I jumped in when I saw it was at 1700+

I think that the remainder will go quickly due to FOMO (fear of missing out).

So how is the cable on this thing?  The cable on the D2000 was kinda frustrating and not very well suited for braiding, are Fostex cables similar or was that just a D2000 quirk?

1821 and I am in.....can't hold out any longer....I am a fan of bio-cell membrane, so...I was deciding between this and th900 used. But it seems this one once modded will be better than th900 . Especially the spiked trebles. Looking toward to modding with removable 3.5 female connectors and light dampening. Also looked like I prefer this less bass than th900 which is almost bass head level.

This FOMO thing is real. I'm sitting here with the TH600 wanting to sell them, waiting for my Nighthawk's to arrive, and yet still hemming and hawing over whether to get these. There is no sane reason for me to buy them.

Yes there is, we will all be discussing our exploration of them together! Sounds like a sane reason to me

You are evil....

If there was any material, I would have not only explained there was material, but included it in my main picture of the taken apart earcup as well.  All that was taken apart was shown in the main picture - no insulating or dampening material was inside of the earcup housing.

Could I ask why they tie the wire in a knot to keep it from stressing the connection? To me that seems a strange way rather address it correctly.

I got a case of FOMO when I saw them go from 200 to 700 in about a half hour. But also realize this headphone will no doubt get multiple runs. And multiple like new units hitting the for sale threads. 
 
But I want mine now, so just order the first run anyway and be done with it.

To hold it in place, and withstand the pulling forces from someone accidentally step on the wires and standing up at the same time. Sony also did that with several headphones. It is a common practice among heapdhones manufacturers

welcome to the club brother 

Thank you! I have sa5000 and z7. No reasons to buy, but I really want something to slot between sa5000 and z7....it seems this one fit the bills better than th900....beside, I am not a fan of red color . Hope it arrives soon enough.

I think Fostex makes headphones for Sony.
 
So lets say it is common practice for Fostex and I don't think there is any thing wrong with it.

Now we just need 100 more!!!
 
I was actually trying to tempt my audiophile friends into buying it. Got a few sold
