About this product
Product Information
With Fostex T50RP headband headphones, you can listen to your favorite music whenever you want to and wherever you want to. These headphones only weigh 11.5 ounces, so they’re very portable. Each headphone is padded, too, so that your ears will be comfortable whenever you put the set on. These T50RP listening devices utilize a semi-open design to promote a very high-quality frequency response. They use a single-entry jack, which you can easily lock into place so that cable tangles become a thing of the past. The entry jack is located on the left earmuff.These T50RP headphones are an attractive black color, so they’ll look sharp with any outfit you’re wearing. The gunmetal-colored headband is fully adjustable and upholstered in faux black leather. The company’s name is emblazoned along the headband’s top. The headband is made of a lightweight metal that’s equipped with adjustable sliders that help position it correctly. Fostex T50RP headphones are designed to fit practically everyone, from children to adults. The cups offer good ventilation, and they swivel in all directions to enhance comfort. Both ear muffs are clearly demarcated so that you’ll never make a mistake and put the headphones on backward. These listening devices are also relatively easy to mod if you want to customize them to fit your own personal comfort needs. The cables that come with this set are bright orange. You can use cords from another headphone set if you want to swap out the original cords for a length you’re comfortable with. The earpads are made of foam encased in a leatherette material, and they can also be replaced. This Fostex RP headphone set offers such high-fidelity sound that it can be used by DJs as well as recording studio and broadcasting producers. They provide a true stereo audio experience. The secret to these headphones is a proprietary transducer and diaphragm technology that utilizes copper foil-etched polyimide film and a neodymium magnet. When current is applied, a magnetic field is generated that helps transform electrical current into acoustic energy. The copper elements mellow-out the resulting audio tones by resisting input peaks of up to 3000mw. The result is clear and natural sound. The Fostex T50RP technology is particularly good when it comes to handling low bass notes. Hear the full force of undistorted bass notes that pack a lot of power without acoustic rumbles. You can use a pair Fostex T50RP headphones as a portable sound device since they can be operated on battery power. You’ll really appreciate this item's performance, though, if you plug it into an amplifier. You’ll be able to hear every subtle variation in the higher notes. The high notes don’t bleed into the mid-range, so you’ll be able to enjoy your music in all its complexity. Fostex T50RP headphones also have a powerful bass response that never sounds distorted even when you’re blasting sound at high volumes. Enjoy music the way it was meant to be heard with the Fostex T50RPs.Product Identifiers

Sort of useless, had to buy some other stuff and didn't use a lot of this.
The only thing worth the money in this is really the acoustic foam. Regular cotton balls work way better than the rolled cotton they provide. Also they give sticky stiff felt but if you use them over your drivers it's gonna sound like shit. You need to use regular stiff felt and double sided tape. Here's the material I used to make my great via the DBV#3 mods: Acoustic foam, soft felt (you need only the smallest amount, like a 1" x 2" square total), stiff felt, 12 cotton balls (1"x.5"x.5") modeling clay and scrap booking tape. Other than the acoustic foam, everything can be purchased from any crafts store. See if buying the items separately is a better option before purchasing this kit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Wonderful Kit
Used this to complete my BMF DBV.3 mod. Came with more than enough material and worked wonderfully. The one thing I ended up doing different went modding the BMF DBV.3 was to reduce the size of the "Treble Reflector" to about the size of a pea instead of a dime. When the larger dot was used treble felt over emphasized and fatiguing. If I had to guess this would be due to the adhesive backing or maybe just my preference? All in all this will take some decent T50RP's and make them not just shine but blinding. The convenience of getting this kit w/o looking all over for the mod materials is awesome, and the provided quantities are quite sufficient and make it well worth the cost!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Mostly Awesome
Fostex T50RP MK3 sound is very nice. I would characterize it as (maybe) slightly V-shaped, especially when compared to Sennheiser HD 650. Coming from the Senns, the mids feel a little recessed, but still definitely present. Treble is sharp and defined. I think honest and leaning on analytical. Maybe sometimes a little painful, but definitely not to the degree I remember hearing from the Beyer Dynamic DT 990. The 990 has crazy treble. I would call the bass appropriate, but with a touch of that closed-back headphone intensity. So the end result feels to me as a touch more bass than I would expect, but again that is in comparison to an open-back set. Tried driving them from my ancient Galaxy S III and the sound was certainly quieter, but nothing jumped out at me as sounding bad (e.g. muddy or disproportionate bass). I only listened for about a minute to see how my phone would handle it, so you may have other findings. All of my opinion on the sound of these headphones comes from my experience driving them with a self-assembled Objective2 amp. Honestly there are a lot of people who say driving planar magnetic headphones from mobile sources is grossly underwhelming, but max volume on my Samsung GSIII was satisfactory for me. Comfort: people say the pads are garbage. Although they are a bit thin, I don't find them to be garbage. They are comfortable enough for me to wear for hours. Clamping force is certainly adequate. Feels a bit snug. Sound isolation is 50/50. Some leaks through, but some stays out. Height adjust on the ear cups is very firm and stays nicely. Feels sturdy. Headband is also thin like the ear pads, but it is also fine for me. The two cables it came with are nice, one 4-foot right-angle 3.5mm to right-angle 3.5mm, and one very long right-angle 3.5mm to straight 1/4in. I am using the shorter one, plugged into an Objective2 amp on my desk, about an arm's length in front of me, and I wish it was about 2 feet longer. Also, this is a slightly heavy pair of headphones. Probably the heaviest set I own so far. But certainly I don't care much once they are on my head. A few odd complaints: I have difficulty finding a nice place to grab the headphones to take them off of my head without also grabbing my hair. Sometimes I accidentally put my finger through the cable loop that comes out of each ear cup, and I almost snag it or pull on it. Those cables feel a little delicate, but nothing has happened thus far. Lastly, and importantly, my headphones have some audible vibration in the left ear cup if I drive enough low frequency through them (certain freqs between 75 and 200 Hz). I have heard QC for this model (and possibly other planar magnetic headphones) is less than ideal. Either something is loose, or the planar membrane is damaged. But it only happens with certain loud low frequencies and I only hear it when there is no high frequency content simultaneously. I may try to fix it in the future. There is a wealth of information on the subject elsewhere on the internet. Overall (ignoring the left ear cup audible vibration) a wonderful set of headphones, great for hearing everything, like studio use. I think these are also great for leisure listening, but maybe missing just a few dB on the mids. Classic mostly-closed headphone experience with great and accurate sound at all the volume levels I listen at. Bass and treble are very nicely defined. Certainly takes my pick above any commodity-grade headphone (phone-bundled earbuds, cheap on-ears, etc.)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Superb Sound, Comfy Earpads!
Smooth, balanced and DETAILED sound across the spectrum. A good amp helps these planar headphones perform their best. Dekoni earpads are totally worth it. They improve the "comfort factor" exponentially. Fostex TR50 MKIII's and Dekoni earpads make for an all around sound value!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
