Sometimes it pays to ask for something. In fact, if you don’t ask you almost certainly won’t get. We pride ourselves on listening to our customers and clients (yes, that’s you!) and when a particular request comes up we will do whatever we can to meet their needs. Which leads me nicely onto the focus of this particular piece…
The rather eye-catching Fostex TH610 Headphones have been something of a hot topic in amongst our customers of late, with regular requests for “more Fostex” becoming a big thing. So much so we simply had to do what was asked of us – and upon adding this particular pair to our headphone bar and our stockroom, we’re rather glad we did.
Here’s why you like them… and also why we like them:
– Beautiful wood-grained housings
– Black walnut with matte finish
– 50mm drivers/1 tesla magnetic circuit
– low distortion and “bio-dyna” diaphragm
– HQ Hi-FC cable detachable 2-pin connector
– Coated with highly durable rhodium
– Low repulsion earpad cushion material
– Artificial leather for comfortable fit/durablity
And all for an equally comfortable £569. Excellent value for such a pretty and beautifully designed pair of closed backs.
These are the successor to the hugely well-received TH600, an amalgamation of the premium TH series line with the TH900 and the contemporary TH900mk2. It features a sound that is both rich and balanced, with a lush and natural overtone. As lovely and as earthy to listen to as they are to look at. When you try them for yourself, you understand why “more Fostex” became a thing.
To make sure we have the “more Fostex” request covered, the TH610 are available to demo along with the much higher end TH900 MkII…. and the Fostex HP-A4BL Headphone Amplifier as pictured above. A head amp and a DAC combined, and the perfect partner for both models. More Fostex? Lots of Fostex.
We were told the best thing about Fostex is their ability “to create a wide sound stage and open presentation in a closed back design, which would perhaps be a strange notion to some. It certainly was to us. But upon getting a pair in to try for ourselves… we got it. And at the same time, we got why “more Fostex”. You spoke, we listened… and we’re glad we did.
Would you like to try some Fostex for yourself? Well, they’re now a permanent fixture of the headphone bar in our demo room. Either come in to have a listen for yourself, or click here to take a closer look.
