Fostex – TH-7- Closed Portable Headphones

The Fostex brand has dependably been known for their orthodynamic T20RP, T40RP, and T50RP earphones. In any case, this time, Hiroaki at Fostex Japan sent me a dynamic driver earphone that is the successor of the dynamic driver Fostex T-7. To be sure a great part of the examinations on Fostex earphones have rotate around the present day T50RP, T20RP mkII, and some of its top end vintage models like the T50v0 that I secured quickly a while prior. Since the TH-7B is discharged as a current element driver earphone from Fostex, we think about how the sound will contrast with the orthodynamic models.

I got the TH-7B together with the HP-P1 compact DAC/Amp, and when I combined the two together, I was amazed to hear a completely clear smooth sound with a profound soundstage and three dimensionality that seizes you. Clearly the HP-P1’s better DAC contributed a great deal than produce that kind of three dimensional sound, yet as I changed to the Audio Technica M-50, I understood that the TH-7B is entirely exceptional in delivering a three dimensional soundscape as the M-50 couldn’t exactly emulate the presentation I heard before.

Among all the orthodynamic Fostex I’ve listened two, the advanced leader T50RP ortho absolutely holds the best place regarding details, but then despite everything it can’t exactly coordinate the recurrence augmentation, subtle element, or soundstage execution of the mid-fi dynamic observing earphones, for example, the Shure SRH-840 or the Audio Technica M-50. The T50RP, in any case, has a smooth, grainless, and easy stable that makes it entirely uncommon in that angle. None of the dynamic earphones could pull off that kind of smooth and easy stable, even on the leader progression including the Sennheiser HD800, Ultrasone Edition 10, or the Beyerdynamic T1.
