No way! A prototype Fostex headphone? Man I love the sound of the Fostex TH-X00 Series, that can looks a lot like the Massdrop TH-X00, but the cups look a lot deeper on it. Is Fostex trying to take a few notes from all of the headphone modifiers out there saying that their cans need deeper cups to really shine? (Which they do.)
First of all, I'm not convinced it's just a prototype, when I was talking to Kawahata-San, he did mention a price (it was even written down on the list, but didn't get a pic).
And I did compare it to my (modded) TH-X00, doesn't seem deeper at all, just a different finish (glossy mahogany vs matte black walnut):
I was really impressed by the TH-900 in person though, nothing beats that finish. Quick shoutout to PETEREK , even Kawahata-San was impressed by his work on the mod
seems like nobody is talking about the M90Q of akg at jaben booth, it's fancy and feature rich but the sq is meh..
noise cancel, volue adjustable at the cups, single button sound adaptation and configuration automatically, memory foam pads, all these are nice but the sound is sorta let down
Think you answered your own question, bro
