Suddenly my gigantic purchase last month doesnt seem so bad (mine is costing me nearly as much as a HE5 after fees).
¢¡FOSTEX¡¡T50¡¡Ì¾µ¡¡¡ÈþÉÊ¡¡¸µÈ¢ÉÕ¤*¡¡¡ÚÃæ¸Å¡Û - Yahoo!¥ª¡¼¥¯¥·¥ç¥ó

Depending on which conversion you take thats anywhere from $660 (xe.com), - $717 (kuboten/celga, which would be $800ish after fees :s) woww. And I havent even done my exposé on them yet....

Im so glad it turns out im not the craziest screwdriver in the toolbox!


EDIT: Nice pics as well iQem! You have a mini orthofan there

Can't say I do. When I had them they got little to no use and the SR-007 is a far, far better transducer. I'm done with collecting headphones so there was no reason to keep them. Plus they went to a very good home.

 

[iQEM]

well, cant argue with that...

but i wonder where's the T50 of you went to ?

There's no doubt about this. I'd put the T50v1 at the level of an SR-X mk3, and only after proper damping. Perhaps it would improve with circumaural pads but then it brings up other issues to deal with.

 

[BoilermakerFan]

Well, let's see, $250-$300 versus $1K+... plus an amp.

Hmmm.

I'm building my eXStata and will eventually add a 007-MkI to the stable, but I still love the orthos. Bang for the buck even with the higher priced ones, is still phenomenal.

 

[mypasswordis]

That's the point I was trying to make. The T50v1 went for ~$700 and I find it on the level of something that cost me less than 1/4 that. The SR-X beats the pants off most orthos.

 

[spritzer]

I had headphones that cost 4-7 times as much as the SR-007 and they are all gone now so it is all relative. The T-50 is a fine headphone but I'd take a SR-X Mk3 Pro over it in a heartbeat which is cheaper, even for a real Stax made model.

I would not have paid $700 for a T50v1 though.

But in the end, it's different horses for different courses. All orthos and even Stax look like bargains next to the JH13 or JE13s, or whatever those $1500 IEMs are called.

SRX-MK3 pro is still pretty pricey on these boards. I sense a Stax Maffia attack

.

Im not going to defend which sounds better than another as I havent actually heard the v1 nor an SRXpro. But a few observances, there are those like me who really appreciate the ease of use of a TRS terminated headphone.

Eg: I can run my YH-1000 straight out of my laptop as its sensitive enough. Im not claiming thats the ideal way to run it. But its just that I can use it with pretty much anything I fancy. Stax are tied into specific amps or speaker rigs.

But all these prices (even SRX-pro) are collector prices, they go for whatever people have set the market at. Establishing worth price wise is another story. There are far more heinous price sins around in the Dynamic (and IEM as bmf pointed out) world

Now I have just ressurected my HP-50s after a LOONG hiatus, and ahhh its like an old shoe

, comfy sound wise.
