General

The Fostex TH500RP is a set of professional level headphones that combine patented Fostex RP-technology with outstanding and unique design. The Regulated Phase Technology ensures that these headphones are capable of retaining transparency even when the input volume is incredibly high. The sound reproduction is shaped by sparkling trebles, rich mid-tones and formidable bass while the aluminium and magnesium construction is not only solid but strikingly unique.

The TH500RP Headphones: Optimal Comfort

The perforated metal outer sides of the ear-cuffs are subtle in design while the ear cushions themselves are made of plush-feeling, high-quality soft leather for high comfort during long listening sessions. The optimised HiFC cable keeps signal transfer as pure as possible and maintains the breathtaking sound these headphones are capable of. Whether a casual (or serious) listener or professional, the TH500RP headphones are made for the audiophile. They also come complete with a protective leather pouch.

Fostex TH500RP Headphones
Wrote the following about Fostex TH500RP Headphones
Dit is een zeer muzikale hoofdtelefoon.
De toon balans over het hele frequentie spectrum is uitstekend, het is van een organische natuurlijkheid waardoor de muziek beleving enorm is.
Detaillering is top waardoor je bekende muziek opnieuw gaat ontdekken.
Plaatsing, diepte en ruimtelijkheid zijn in de juiste proporties waarmee ik wil zeggen dat je netjes vooraan in de zaal staat en niet midden tussen de band of ergens achter bij de bar.
Deze hoofdtelefoon kan elke muziek stijl met gevoel weergeven voor mij een pre.
Nergens breekt het op of word het irritant, geen resonanties of frequentie boost.

Recentelijk heb ik vrij intensief naar de Sennheiser HD800 en beyerdynamic T1 geluisterd deze hebben mij minder kunnen overtuigen zeker de HD800 vind ik in het laag wat dun en bij bepaalde muziek onnatuurlijk analytisch in het midden hoog gebied, is een kwestie van smaak natuurlijk. Geen ervaring met audeze of hifiman helaas.

Draag comfort is perfect zonder problemen uren vol te houden.
degelijkheid en afwerking zijn uitstekend.

Hoofdtelefoon versterker in gebruik is een Violectric HPA V200, ik heb het gevoel dat dit een uitstekende match is.
Deze fostex th500rp heeft een goede dedicated hoofdtelefoon versterker nodig om zijn volle potentie te laten horen.

Kortom erg tevreden top product zeker gezien de prijs kwaliteit verhouding.
