Fostex TH-808 Premium Open Back Audiophile Headphones

Overview

The TH808 is a premium headphone crafted from Fostex's top-tier open-type model, TH909. It is meticulously tuned and features a high-grade black walnut solid wood housing with aluminum etched parts and equipped with a proprietary technology in-house made “BIODYNA” diaphragm driver unit.

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 combination, 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 amplitude.

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 varying 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 offers a comfortable and fatigue-free listening experience.

The removable connector on the headphone body, as well as the detachable connector terminal, are both rhodium-plated terminals. Rhodium plating is renowned for its durability, resistance to wear, and ability to protect against corrosion. Achieving a balanced connection is possible with the use of an XLR-terminal cable (ET-H3.0N7BL), which is available for separate purchase.
