August 23, 201213 yr I looked more at the square waves and the impulse response. Those tell me a few more things about the driver performance than the frequency response. As you say, this isn't that bad, I'd expect them to sound warm and kind of lovely.
August 23, 201213 yr Hey Purk, I have read a few reports at the other site (the huge thread). Too many posts to find them back, anyway, just to give you an indication, I was reading posts from Magick Man, and some other users were replying in the same pages as him. He made me intrigued in them, because on top of having several great headphones, the insight he had already given to me (I was asking him about the 4070 with GES, as well as ESP950 and Grado HP2) was very good. Antonio, since I'd like to see what you are seeing (maybe I should start comparing more impuse response and square wave graphs), what are you deducing from them? Thanks. On a 'funny' note, this headphone has a similar response to what the Westone 3 looked, a few years ago, soon after it had come out and when the first Japanese graphs were coming out. This seems to be a bit better in the midrange though! Edited August 23, 201213 yr by Tony
August 23, 201213 yr This explanation by Tyll at Innerfidelity will explain it way better than anything I would ever manage.
September 23, 201213 yr Tyll, your write up on square wave interpretation is all levels of awesome. I found it extremely informative.
May 11, 201412 yr The TH900 might not be worth $2K but how about $1600? Thread necro. How about $1500 stock? I respect Drew's opinions and views a lot. In this video he put these at number 1 overall on his personal prefernce list ahead of both the Audeze LCD-3 at number 2 and Sennheiser 800s at number 3 respectively. Naturally he takes the time to explain how and why he came to those conclusions. It's a 16 minute video if you want to listen. I wasn't terribly familiar with Fostex until very recently and then this video kind of took me by surprise. See what you all think. Edited May 11, 201412 yr by Eric5676
May 12, 201412 yr Or $1299 https://www.massdrop.com/buy/fostex-th900?s=Headphones $1,249 now. Dammit, Ric!!! Thanks, but no thanks, but thanks, but... urgh!
May 12, 201412 yr Debating myself. Sure would be nice to have a closed pair around. If you miss Massdrop looks like Headroom has for $1299 right now. http://www.headphone.com/headphones/fostex-th-900.php
May 12, 201412 yr don't think so. it's a great reduction tho. ttvj is still selling them for $1499 But why the sale? I'm not complaining here but I do feel for those who paid $2000 for them.
May 12, 201412 yr Goddamn, those are still gorgeous. Someone doesn't think so http://www.lawtonaudio.com/page68.html
May 12, 201412 yr I just threw up a bit looking at that site... Anyway, the price difference is probably due to the weak Yen against the USD.
May 12, 201412 yr Goddamn, those are still gorgeous. I know. They look great and I keep running into all this super positive feedback. ^^ This is a recipe that leads to tempting me to do something rash.
May 12, 201412 yr Often prices drop because sales numbers are lower than expected. Maybe that's the case here.
