XP9433 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Just ordered this huge bargain of a headphone (Fostex TH X00) through Massdrop. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/fostex-x-massdrop-th-x00 http://www.head-fi.org/t/788776/fostex-x-massdrop-th-x00-review/780 A collaboration between Fostex and Massdrop have come up with a mutually re-designed headphone apparently fitting somewhere between the TH600 and TH900 models, but with a better balanced frequency response. At $400 they are an unbelievably cheap buy. Massdrop suggest 60% of an estimated normal retail price? Sharing because I think more forum members should know, just in case they want to get in on Massdrop's 1,950 unit "drop", which is almost filled.

XP9433 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Less than 100 left of 1950 units available in this Massdrop "drop". So be quick if you want to take advantage of this "steal". Link to comment
XP9433 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Drop successful - all 1950 units sold! Hope you didn't miss out. Link to comment
odelay Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Thanks... I think?? I think there was something like 70 left when I took the plunge ... Then bam! I really hadn't realised how low the Aussie dollar was right now... Ouch! (I should know - as I'm travelling overseas ... But ain't in the US..). Seems unlikely they could possibly live up to te hype. I don't know how well they'll play with my Conductor... So hope I can sell 'em if things don't work out... I'm a complete noob with cans, so not sure it's my bag... Oh, for the love of music!! TF cards - USB -> GentooPlayer in RAM on Rpi4b, Ian’s PurePi II, FIFO Q7, HDMI-pro -> Audio GD R-27 -> S.A.T.

Blake Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Seems unlikely they could possibly live up to te hype. Yeah, a few people are claiming it is at the level of the TH900 or even better which would be downright silly. An improvement or side-grade over the TH600 is more likely, but in any event, it seems like a screaming bargain.
