Are you talking about headphones you don't even have yet?? Comparing them to headphones you haven't heard?? Your logic is irrational and is just you defending your purchase of the Fostex. Also, Fostex's are used VERY often in studios. My dbi's are crazy big sellers, and have a $179.99 MSRP. The Fostex's also sell in studios, but only cost $75 ish. Your supply-demand theory just shows your lack of education in economics.

Then being Fostex one of the only ones who keeps making those hps they have set a price to those headphones. It is both low because there is low demand, and low because building an ortho HP is quite cheap. (They still get their benefit when they sell Hps). Why do you have HD800 selling at $1400? Because there is a lot of demand on dynamic HPs. If there were no demand the price would be quite close to what it takes the company build a set of HPs, obviously adding some benefit to the company. The build quality of the T50RP might not be the best (still haven't received mine but I will report back once I get them), but the drivers themselves are pretty good and seem to do the work. Maybe they need more dumping (as some people prefer it that way), but supposedly the company already measured their HPs and decided it was good enough to get a nice response. Buying damping material is also pretty cheap, so prices don't need to sky rocket. About what you said it sounds many times better, that is yet to be discussed (and measured), and as other people are mentioning the price is quite above electrostatic HPs. That is just my thinking. And i won't be buying one of those if the price is so so so high. The reason why I bought the T50RP is because they have another type of driver, close to the way electrostats work but being way cheaper. |
