Fostex TH808 Open back HP Upgrades !!

TH808 Premium Stereo Headphones TH808 is a flagship premium headphones based on the reputed closed type TH909.  While keeping the same sound characteristic, we further expanded and increased its sound field by adopting open back construction and adjusting the acoustic circuit design. Main Features Equipped with in-house crafted driver units from the TH900 The proprietary in-house driver unit, crafted from technologies honed over numerous years, blends bio-cellulose fiber with various other materials on the diaphragm. This meticulous combi- nation, under optimal conditions, results in a diaphragm with low specific gravity, high Young’s modulus, and superior internal loss. Utilizing a repulsive magnetic circuit with neodymium magnets, the 1.5 Tesla ultra- strong magnetic circuit delivers exceptional responsiveness and an expansive dynamic range across all frequencies. This design enables the reproduction of exquisite mid-high frequencies with detailed resolution, while also faithfully capturing the rich low mid-range with significant ampli- tude. Ingenious open housings made of solid black walnut and aluminum The housings, crafted from premium solid black walnut, showcases a distinctive design. Its open aperture, coupled with a dual arrangement of etched aluminum components, offers vary- ing impressions depending on the light and viewing angle. The carefully calibrated aperture ratio and precise fine-tuning of each internal component, en- hanced by the resonance of the solid black walnut wood, result in a natural sound field that of- fers a comfortable and fatigue-free listening experience. High-purity OFC unbalanced cable included Included is a high-purity OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) unbalanced cable*. Detachable connector port and 7N grade cable for internal wiring Both the headphone cable and the removable connector on the headphone body come with a detachable rhodium-plated connector terminal, recognized for its durability, resistance to wear, and protection against corrosion. In addition, 7N grade cables are used for internal wiring. A balanced connection can be achieved using an XLR-terminal cable (ET-H3.0N7BL), available for purchase separately. Ear pads with low-resilience cushions The ear pads, identical to those on the TH909, are crafted from meticulously chosen high-grade synthetic leather, ensuring a pleasant touch and a comfortable fit even during extended wear. Additionally, the low-resilience cushions contour behind the ears seamlessly, minimizing sound leakage.
