I called all of the Guitar Centers within a 50 mile radius of my home and also B&H in NYC and they have no idea when it will be back in stock

I had B&H send me an alert email when they were back in stock last week and ordered a pair right away but they were all gone two days later.  I don't know what's up with them...

Holy smokes -- I just looked on Guitar Center's website because I knew they finally had them in stock earlier this week and now they are not even listed on the site AT ALL (they have been listed as back-ordered before). Same thing with Amazon, Music123 and Musician's Friend. It's almost like they never existed. I'm glad I jumped on a pair when I had the chance. Do not hesitate if you find a pair!!

I put myself on B&H's list this afternoon.
 
Anyone know the difference between these and the original ones from yesteryear?

 

[scompton]

You probably need to ask that in the ortho thread since most of the few people who have experienced the original ones are there.  Or PM spritzer since he out bid me on the only pair I've seen on eBay.

This has probably already been discussed and sorry for my naivete, but are the new Fostex T50's close to the vintage pair that started it all, sound wise?

no they are not..dB

They run out darn quick.  Who else is buying them besides us loons and any lurkers who have read or are reading this thread?
 
Mine should arrive Monday.  =]

 

[scompton]

They're used in studios

 

[Mad Max]

That many?
lol

I had a backorder with a dealer, but I think he didn't get any, and after a day or two of watching the inventory vanish from the few who had them I grabbed a set off Amazon.  Here's hoping the inventory was real.  I'm looking forward to doing some mods on this...

The inventory should be real, hopefully. I ordered from AMZN and got shipping confirmation already.

 

[AnotherN00b]

What seems weird to me is that they have just disappeared from many store inventories (instead of just "back ordered" or "out of stock")?!?!? 
They are still listed on the Fostex.com website though so hopefully it's just a restocking issue 

 

 

[immtbiker]

I tried Amazon yesterday afternoon and it said "Currently Not Available", so you guys grabbed the last ones. I have e-mail alerts with 2 other stores.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

A lot of people are probably buying them because of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjCLQaTFXx0&feature=relmfu
 

 
Can't embed in this part of the forum?  
 
Move ever beats everyone is going to have to have these now because this kid is getting a ton of views.

I don't know about the current generation, but the previous generations, yes that many.  A lot of studio shots from the 80s and 90s, the musicians are wearing Fostex.  A large number of the vintage ones that come up on eBay are from studios.
 
Edit: Also the fact that most of the sites that sell them are geared towards music professionals instead of consumers means they're still used as studio cans
