Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

Been following this thread for a while and it has really been great. So much so that I  went ahead and bought the TH900 in fact I just got my pair yesterday and out of the box the sound is spectacular. I'm really glad I decided to rest my HD800s and have some bass that thumps!

Not disappointed at all



:)

They are a great trade off pair, hd800S and th900, now if I could just put the 800 down.

one open, one closed, two different sound signatures and both are worthy of flagship status. you gotta be happy with that.

  Deciding to get either the th900's or the lcd-2's for trance/vocal trance. Has anyone used both and can compare which would be more suited?

Cheers

 
I don't own the LCD-2, but I've tried it out at a couple of meetups, and I would think it's a little too "rich" sounding for trance/vocal trance. For electronic music, I actually think more neutral-sounding headphones work better (like the HD-800 or AKG K701, even if their bass isn't as strong as the TH-900). 
 
But if you had to the choose between the TH-900 and LCD-2, I would definitely pick the TH-900. I don't remember what the bass is like on the LCD-2, but the TH-900 as you probably already know has amazing bass. The overall sound-signature of the TH-900 is also more "fun" and "exciting", which would go better with trance/vocal trance.

+1. I use to own both the LCD-2.2F and the TH-900. The LCD-2 sounded congested and narrow-soundfield compared to TH-900. So I sold LCD-2 and kept the TH-900. It is also true that the LCD-2 is much heavier. I also have TH-600 and Hifiman HE-500. I would choose either one of them over the LCD-2.

Personally I prefer HE-500 and TH900 over LCD-2. I also prefer TH900 over TH-X00. So I would get TH900 and keep HE-500.
Thanks, I think I'm going to save up and just get a he6 and a really good amp and call it a day. I really enjoy mids and bass, and from my research I think the he6 is overall a better headphone then the th900. what do you think
