copying what has already been successful I guess. Like Honda ditching their old Insight (which is still, 10 years later, the most efficient hybrid on the road) and making a prius copy...

Excellent! The 00s are beginning to resemble the 80-90s regarding the inventions in the high end.

I wonder if these are the new Fostex in the beginning:

Fostex invest a lot money try to make the phone look all nice and shinny. How many times that dude has to blink his eyes!

 

[Kabeer]

Ugh, I got exited when I saw this. And totally de-exited when I saw it isnt planar.
Whats the point? Seems just like an exercise in aesthetics. Fostex are already an OEM for other high end dynamics.

superb hope it´s at least 2000$

 

[komi]

I like FOstex product, but i dont have FSTX Cans yet ... Cant wait ...

 

[Sasaki]

FOSTEX will join in our coming headphones show at Tokyo (Oct 31).
I will update more later.

 

[anetode]

Wait, does this mean that the D7000s are not high-end?

 

[achristilaw]

I have three of the Fostex driven single-element home-brew horns I've concocted and enjoyed them as much as the Lowther experiments.

But no Planar? ahhh!! Man...!

 

[electropop]

Wow, and only mono! That's old school!

 

[DefectiveAudioComponent]

The lack of a planar sure disappoints. Still, I'm curious if they kept the best dynamic driver and headset for their own series.

In my crystal ball, in the future, I see screws falling off and cups coming loose from this Fostex headphone.

 

[Acix]

I'm very interested in Fostex technology. I'll be very happy with some U.S. Loan Program.

Yep, looks like a variation of their design for the Denon series. Only a tad uglier
