i agree with everything you mentioned(esp. RH300 is a great sub $50 introduction to audiophilia), but Fostex produces iBuds... yeah

Foster produces ibuds (likely). They also make the drivers for the Denon D7000, and most, if not all of the Denon line, and likely the drivers for a lot of the headphones we use here. Fostex produces the headphones that are the base for this:

 
And has produced other headphones that are pretty much technological masterpieces in their time like the original T50.

Good choice.

JVC is definitely underrated. Other brands like Ashidavox, Nakamichi and Marushichi made rather good headphones as well. But Koss is probably the most underrated company of all time.

 

[bcasey25raptor]

i heard Yamaha makes headphones are they any good.

 

[theleonlion]

Apple iBuds.
 
Yes, I'm completely serious. I actually like them more than the Yuin PK3, but that's personal preference.

I think Etymotic Research earphones, for what they are, seem to be highly underrated. They seem to be the only company with the right idea as far as accurate earphones go... Match them to the ear. I think they should make an over ear model though, and have it become the standard for studio production.

Fostex, the onyl stuff I hear people mention are the t50rp's for the thunderpants mod.

 

[theleonlion]

Well, the truth is, Fostex doesn't make terrific headphones. I can only think of the older Fostex T20RP and the older Fostex T50 as being "good" headphones.

I have the OEM version of original Fostex T50 & they are 'terrific' headphones.

 

[theleonlion]

Yup. By "good", I basically meant terrific, especially the original Fostex T50. An orthodynamic legend.
 
Oh, and Fostex makes great OEM headphone drivers as well.

T30r, t40r, t50r?
