They are both around the same price, fostex being a bit more expensive. I'm looking for a high end closed back driven without a dedicated amp. I have narrowed it down to these two.
My focus is on comfort and sound quality. I want something on the neutral side but smooth/non fatiguing. Comfort for long sessions is a MUST (I wear glasses), I'm gonna be using these sometime for 6+ hours at a time. If you have other suggestions let me know. Must not leak sound (closed backs only). Isolation is not as important as comfort, but nice to have.

Stuff I don't like based on reviews: (I could be wrong)
Edition 8
Sig Pro

What makes the th900 better than the t5p?

 

[Canadian411]

I was able to get a brand new T5p for $899 CAD, so it's almost half the TH900 price.
Considering that price factor, I will get T5p but I love TH900 more than my HD800
 
And I am done with Audeze, too heavy and bit overpriced IMO.

How would you compared the T5P with the HD800?
