Never tried them personally. But you were talking about budget originally. I assumed you also fancied open back. In this price range you could try a Focal perhaps.
Fostex TH909 Announcement
- Thread starter once
- Start date
Pairing the 909 with Burson Composer + Xduoo Ta-20 (GE Tube) is just perfect for my untrained ears, the new balanced cable from Artic comes at a good time because the factory cable connector for the right ear needs to be resoldered.
I've put my pair up for sale on ebay UK if anyone's interested, excellent condition plus a balanced custom cable, I rarely reach out for them so they would be better off in a new home.

I feel your pain in sacrifice. God speed.
I almost did the same recently, then listened to them again and immediately changed my mind. Whatever you do, don't put them back on!
Absolutely, I've done that mistake with other headphones, now when I put something up for sale they're going into their pretty box until their new owner is revealed.
Did you ship worldwide to Asia ? im interesting ?!
PM'd you.

The blue ones are so gorgeous . I wish all the limited editions colors were available as 909s and not just 900sPairing the 909 with Burson Composer + Xduoo Ta-20 (GE Tube) is just perfect for my untrained ears, the new balanced cable from Artic comes at a good time because the factory cable connector for the right ear needs to be resoldered.

does anyone know where i can buy official th909 pads? and are the th909 pads the same original pads on the th900?
Replacement SKUs: Fostex EX-EP-91 (TH900mk2) vs. Fostex EX-EP-99 (TH909)
That’s a fact? Don’t have the TH900, but for me there is a visible difference (91 vs. 99):

They are very hard to get outside of Japan AFAIK.
I spoke with Fostex International about this a while back and unfortunately they didn't have a great answer (they suggested I try Fullcompass). I see BHPhoto is listing them for special order:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1644954-REG/fostex_ex_ep_99_replacement_ear_pads_for.html
Maybe worth a try? I also see some listings on Ebay, but not sure how accurate they are.
That's not true. The 909 are a different part number (EX-EP-91 for 900, EX-EP-99 for 909) and are definitely physically different on my 900s and my 909. They have a steeper angle (the back of pad is thicker than the front to a larger extent).

It's 100% true that the drivers, stand offs, and fitting diameter of the pads are physically identical. I wasn't referring to literally the stock pads that ship with the 900 vs 909, Im referring to the fact that they fit the same mounting apparatus and may be used interchangeably and all pads that fit one fit the other.

Can anyone here compare the LCD XC 21 with the th909 bass wise

Is the TH909 as detailed as the Verite Open?
