T50RP-Mk3 Headphone : Fantastic Sounding Hadphones

I bought these for use at home for normal listening.

My taste in music is very wide and varied and I do find these

to be very good with most genres.

I find these to have a slightly v shaped sound with the midrange

being slightly recessed (with the stock pads) but overall a very fast and clean response which you would expect from any planar type headphone.

Also I would recommend changing the pads asap, as the ones

that are supplied by fostex are very thin and do become uncomfortable quite quickly.

Be aware the to get the best out of these you will probably need

a headphone amplifier of some sort, as they do need a certain

amount of power to shine.

You can get them loud enough with a lot of sources, but they will sound rather thin and weedy if not powered properly.

If powered properly they reward you with a good amount of bass and sub-bass, a detailed but not harsh high end and a decent but not spectacular midrange.

Different pads on these can change the sound signature considerably.

I am currently swapping between Shure 1540 pads and ZMF Oval Protein Leather and have bought a few more pads, which are on the way to give them a try.

Sound is individual to everyone and I love seeing the differences a simple pad swap can make.

A headphone which can have multiple personalities, but the overall

quality is there waiting to be tapped into with the correct pads for you.
