This is the first headphone i still got the "woooow effect" (the one when you get new headphones you know) EVERY time i listen to them. Have them for 5 weeks now. Awesomeness!

Was thinking the same thing today ... I think I found my end game.

Let the modding begin!

I swapped the angled hybrid ear pads from the Dekoni Blue T50RP MK3 to the T60RP and they sound great!

 

[justin Montagano]

can anyone compare the t60rp with mods to the agron mk3?

Specially made wide deerskin strap I had made along with Alpha Pads I'm testing. Also have the Mayflower baffle ring.

Will modify the vents now and see can I tune the bass.

Yes ! Gone are the days of me returning from a live concert and having been high-ed up I would sit down on my best rig and try to
continue only to burst into tears realizing the vast difference between my best headphones and the live performance. Thank you
Fostex for greatly reducing the gap.

And yes time for some serious modding with double drivers, accordeon style tail return of the back wave to reinforce bass slam and dynamics and 100 % larger enclosure to make sound like real speakers.

Even the standard modhouse deerskin strap is great, they totally transform it, comfort level = nicest headphone ever. The stock headband cut into my head and mad the pads seem uncomfortable.

If it's such a great headphone then why all the trouble of modding?

Maybe there is some hidden potential

Stock trim these make my past cans look like a joke, HD600, K7XX, EMU-Teak, DT770, HE400i etc.

I've got the mayflower baffle kit coming and if I can improve the comfort even further with some ZMF pads why not?

They are back in the stock in the US...so might give them a try. My only experience with Fostex was the Massdrop TR-X00 and wasn't impressed at all with it. Everybody raved about the bass, but it was nothing special. It was also too hazy or warm sounding and the thing just sort of flopped on the head, with less than ideal shaped pads.

Hi

I never used the stock pads as I love ZMF,Alpha pads etc. so I can recommend getting ZMF lambskins or proteins and modhouse strap (a must) for them if you do. I do have a TH-610 and they are totally different beasts.

Coming from the car audio world its easy to tell the difference between SPL and quality. The typical headphone advocate will be impressed by db levels with the quality being irrelevant ... a certain can owned by Apple as an example.

Been considering the T60RP and the Sundara (which I've tried and found I like it better than the LCD2C or LCDX). The treble and mids seem to disappear in the LCDs. Unless I'm reading the this thread wrong, it seems the T60s are better balanced in that respect, but retain the bass. Am I on the right track with my impressions (sans actual headphones to try of course)?

You are on the right track

Speaking of LCD's the LCD-2C closed, Major HiFi's review peaked my interest.
