Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones

I have the Fostex TH600 for a couple of weeks now.  I think most reviews are accurate.  They are simply amazing, in presence, sound and soundstage,
I considered many headphones, as I had a few high end headphones years ago, and decided to jump in again.  These have me in awe.  I power them with
a DacPort .  Its like a marriage made in heaven.  I honestly don't know how you could improve upon this unless you were to spend more than twice the money.

When people say these leak sound, to what extent do they do this? I mean if you were sitting next to someone would they be able to hear your music? These are one of a few pairs of headphones i'm considering for office use. But if everyone can hear my music I'm not going to be very popular. :D

Your neighbor in an office fifteen feet away will easily hear what you are playing.  Like all Denon's they leak quite a bit.

I am currently basing and writing a review for TH600, but for a quick note: I have experienced great synergy with Schiit Asgard 2 and DacMagic combo. The best yet after all the setups/rigs I tried with the TH600. It was just shining with pure effortless aural performances that satisfies at high gain, and with low gain it provides superb blackness and great background music (like the kind you get in a jazz bar) for concentration on other stuff.

Hope my brief thoughts help ph58's original question.

Schiit is more for audeze imo. I have a CKK3 for sale that will work great and is not much more expensive. Others have chimed in that the CKK3 is a great amp as well for the fostex/denon's. It is also made by a company not D.I.Y., World Sound Audio.

I have seen your CKK3 for sale , i have also ask a question about the Voltage , does it have 230V EURO Volt ? Thanks
