fostex-th-900

Genres: Electronic music/ metal Price: Under 1200$

Anyone have the pleasure of trying the new Fostex TH900 yet?   What audiocubes.com is calling the new "King of Headphones", with a $2300 USD price tag to match?     Fostex makes the Denon AH-DXXXX Series headphones, and if you look closely at the headband, you will notice that is in...

The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

I've read through some previous but I'm still not sure which direction to go. My experience with the SA5000 is like most others...mixed :)   I tried a pair I was recabling for someone and laughed openly with my GF about how bad they were for $400-500. I sent them back to the owner and...

I own the TH900 and I like them a lot except for the fact the mids are recessed. Is there any kind of configuration that can bring the mids forward?

Hey guys,   I'm shopping ideas around to get a new amp/dac to power up TH900. I have been highly recommended BMC Puredac so far, looks like a very nice unit indeed, I'm also very interested by RSA Darkstar. Just wondering what others think out there would be the best for balanced amp/dac with...

Hi,   i own a pair of LCD-2 rev.2 for over 1 year now and i like them very much except for the weight. They start give me headaches because of the weight if i wear them for more than 3-4 hours. Plus i work now in a different environment that is not that quiet as before so i would prefer...

Hello, I'm curious about buying HD800 As addon to Fostex TH900 And T1. You think It's worth ? as I'm looking for a bigger sound stage and natural sound If not you recommend any other? Thanks ^.-

I've read comparisons in their individual threads but I thought it would be easier to start a tread comparing them. Let's hear the thoughts of those lucky enough to spend time with both!

*****POLL MISTAKE: MEANT LCD-2 NOT LCD-3!!***** I have a $1000 and my choices at this point are huge. Basically I have 6 headphones that I'm considering buying. The Mr. Speakers Alpha Prime, Beyerdynamic T5p, Beyerdynamic T1, Hifiman HE-560, Fostex TH-900, Audeze lcd-2. I would prefer open...

Just got the McIntosh yesterday to try and compare with the Fostex.     The HUGO is the fixed variable.  I am trying both with a MacBook Pro running JRiver Version 20.     The Fostex are better looking, to me at least and have a more solid feel but the Mac is much better in isolation and on...

Inpired by the "Do Grados Look Ugly? Or Do They Look Cool?" thread:   Does the design of headphones influence your buying decisions?       I am affected by the design. If they look ugly to me I have a hard time liking them. I do appreciate the sound for itself, but most probably...

Really need some advice on which full size headphone I should get given my history and requirements.     Requirements:   -First of all the headphones I select must be closed headphones with good enough isolation/sound leak profile to be used on planes at moderate/high volume.  I travel...

I am looking for a pair of headphones to compliment my LCD3's non fazor or to replace the LCD non fazor model to the newer fazor model. I am also looking at the possibility of the  Fostex TH-900's. I have an Auralic Taurus MK2 which I love with the older LCD3's but am looking for suggestions on...

Could you list the High End headphones you consider euphonic? 

So my wife has really started to get into listening to my rig lately. Are there any good amps that have dual headphone inputs so we can listen together? I was literally getting ready to purchase the new oppo ha-1 last night and then she stated she wanted to get a set of cans. So I figured if the...

Which headphones would be the best choice for a Chord Hugo DAC?

What's you guys opinions about the Best Closed Back Over Ear Headphone?  Please exclude headphones like $5000 Ultrasone, that's just too expensive for average consumers. 

Anyone know of any pads that will fit the Fostex th-600 cup? I couldn't seem to find any replacement fostex pads. Thx  

TH900 as capable for low volume listening and PRAT as a RS1 ?

The biggest thing is that there is a starving student version for $550 plus around $15 shipping. For the price, it's an amazing deal. After my research I would get it over HifiMan's offerings, Audeze's offerings, Fostex's TH900, and Sennheiser's HD800, due to the sheer fact that for half the...

    Sony just put this rather "mysterious" picture on their official site in China   http://www.sonystyle.com.cn/products/headphone/index.htm   Something alone the line of "1,500 days of anticipation" and then "Sony's BRAND NEW milestone about to be revealed" on the second line.    ...
