A Brand New Bass Beast? - Fostex TH808 Review
Fostex isn't a new company, they've been making reel-to-reel recorders, loudspeaker drivers, and headphones for over 50 years. What is new is the introduction of a $1000+ high-end headphone made for audiophiles and professionals. The TH808 is priced at $1299. The TH909 came out 5 years ago, meaning that this is the first major open-back release in this price point for a while. I let you know my impressions in the Fostex TH-808 review.

    Very happy with these headphones. The midrange is what makes these headphones very special. They do demand quality electronics (DAC/Amp setup) to get the best performance from them. Pair them with a Chord TT2, and you will be rewarded with reference quality playback. The treble is a bit recessed compared to other TOTL cans, BUT, it is very clear and natural sounding.

    6 hours on a single charge is nothing to write home about. Standard should be 10 hours or more on normal playing before it has to be put back into the charging case for recharging. Although 6 hours is not bad, the worst in terms of battery life has to be the Bose SoundSport wireless. One bud went bad after very light use in a few years, and only good for couple of hours after a full charge. And the charging case even with a full charge, only eeked out maybe two complete charges before it has to be plugged in via Micro USB. So, the battle continues. Who's going to win the crown of longest play time before put back into the case for charge. I rather see Grado takes the crown, but not sure how much resources they have to put into R&D on the wireless side. I think going forward, wireless is the future, since data is data, whether it's delivered wired or wirelessly. Ultimately, it's the DSP on the receiving side that needs to reproduce the sounds using the onboard DAC to the drivers. Grado, you need some serious decisions to make. Make some high end RS like wireless headsets and cut the cord.

      @audio46 11 днів тому

      I personally like bass heavy headphones for a lot of modern metal music. Older metal sounds great on these, but the mixes typically aren't as bright. To balance out more treble, I really like the ATH-M50x or the Fostex TH-616 if you're looking at any open-backs.

      Emperor is pretty well mixed to my ears so I didn't hear too much sibilance. If I did get any it was on bright flashy mixes like "100 Demons" self-titled. Overall, it's still comfortable on many tracks but a lot of feedback in genres like noise music or grindcore will still be sibilant.

    the only thing is that..... If you really wanna wanted to make change or feel the difference at ground level then you have to be use a different variety of "DAC" and Audio files format or codec......... Now these days everyone using digital sound format those are basically based on dot matrix 0 & 1 but sounds are not matrix, sound is a wave..... try to use Analog sound format (like old days school vinyl records, VCD, or cassette player) Just pick up the one and only the most favorite audio files of yours........ experience this with different varieties of DAC, DAC & AMP, multiple types of driver like..... speakers, headsets, headphones, IEMs with different types of technology like...... singal or multi channel driver,....... like dynamic driver, balanced armature driver, Electrostatic drive, planar magnetic driver, piezoelectric driver, bone conductor driver...........................................................

    I thought I would skip burn in but now that I know more about it, I am going to burn my new headphones in for 14 years and 3 months. On second thought, I'm half deaf to high sounds which is why I wear hearing aids which have their own software. I haven't yet found any articles or videos on wearing headphones with hearing aids but let me tell you, when you have an app that can adjust sound quality and equalizer for your ear before you touch any controls on your headphone app, you end up with amazing versatility and great sound.

  • @JamesCAsphalt8

    This is a very informative video. The backround music is distraction though and I found it annoying. I didn't see any need for slightly muffled music in the backround that would be more suitable for a 1970s elevator. Other than that, I got what I needed which was information about what Burn in is. Thank you. Also, you make an erroneous assumption more than once. You think that if you effect the earphones with burn in in such a short time it would be "evidence of a defect" and also "they would keep degrading quickly over time." Neither of these assertions is necessarily correct. Certain materials break in but don't continue to degrade at a fast pace. An example would be breaking in a new engine in your car. If it kept "breaking in" continuously, your engine would not last 100,000 miles. Breaking in a pair of new jeans does not mean you will be almost bare ass naked in 3 months of wearing them.

    I was stunned by the Grado phonograph cartridges during the days of phonograph records! There was nothinng else even comparable and the price was awesome. I have adnired this company since the middle 70's. I an quite surprised that Grado does not have an app for customization as even my Tozo T6's do. The other concern is the low amount of extra eartips. Unfortunately my ears are weird and require two different sizes to fit properly and create a good seal to work properly. However I'm interested to see just how they reproduce the Chill,Ambient & Downtenpo music I passionately love in my collection. These might indeed be a big hit for Grado and that I'm quite happy about!
