Is anything that comes out of consumer reports credible??
Is anything that comes out of consumer reports credible??
Fostex TH600: Got this for christmas, so not really a purchase, but.. ugh. I wanted to get an HD800 but I knew it was way too expensive. Then I considered the LCD-2, but that was way too expensive too. Same for the HE-500.
Then I saw the TH600 on sale for a HUGE discount, putting it just into the range my parents were willing to spend. So I put it on my list.
I absolutely loathed it from the beginning. Hashy treble, disgustingly thick farty bass, lacked detail retrieval, pads aren't breathable, and overall just woefully colored and poor sounding. I really should've gone with something else.
Those are some harsh words for a well-loved pair of headphones. There was one selling on the local craigslist for about $400, and I was pretty damn tempted, except it was about 30 miles away and I was too lazy to drive there - thanks for making me feel better!
