SOLD: Fostex TH-X00 Mahogany Headphones * MINT *
« on: 2 May 2018, 11:28 am »
SOLD...Up for sale are MINT Fostex TH-X00 Mahogany headphones from Massdrop.  I have used these sparingly (approximately 15-20 hours) as I have multiple other headphones in my inventory.

A thorough description can be found here: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/fostex-x-massdrop-th-x00#specs

The wood grain on this particular pair is gorgeous, albeit difficult to photograph properly, because of the beautiful glossy finish.  Again, this unit is in like new condition; not a blemish on the cups, headband or ear pads and it’s functionally perfect.

The sound of these headphones is amazing with some of the best bass of ANY headphone on the market yet still manages to reproduce sparkling highs and an organic midrange.

Specifications:
* Mahogany wood ear cups, brilliant gloss finish
* Closed-back design
* 50 mm dynamic transducer
* Magnesium alloy construction
* Leatherette ear pads, matte black
* Magnetic flux density: >1 tesla
* Impedance: 25 ohms
* Sensitivity: 94 dB/mW
* Maximum input: 1,800 mW
* Frequency response: 5 – 45,000 Hz
* 10 ft (3 m) thick, braided Y-cable
* 1/4 in (6.3 mm) gold-coated stereo phone plug
* Weight, without cable: 23.3 oz (350 g)
* Weight, with cable: 17 oz (482 g)

The unit will ship in the original box with carrying pouch, 1/4” 10 ft. cable and 1/8” adapter. 

*The headphone stand that appears on the photos is NOT included in the sale. 

**This headphone is NOT currently available on Massdrop.

$250 Paypal only (I will cover fees) and FREE shipping from 48170.  CONUS sale only (NO international sales or shipping to HI or AK).

Why is it so hard to ship to Hawaii or Alaska?

It’s the cost not the difficulty. I’m offering free shipping CONUS but PM me and perhaps if you are interested in these cans we could arrange something.

Is there an amp that you would recommend to go with these?

Well they are very easy to drive so virtually any SS amp will power them. I used a Schiit Magni 3, Jotunheim, as well as an Audio GD R2R 11 and NFB-28.38. Tube amps will work as well but I dont have any tube amps so I couldn’t tell you about the sound qualities.

All SS amps I have used with these headphones sounded great with loads of bass, smooth mids and sparkly highs. 25 ohm impedance is a very easy load for most any amp.
