Add some aftermarket pads and the T50RPs punch way above their weight class!
Great value for the money - once you replace the ear pads! **Update: I've since obtained a set of Dekoni Blues (modded T50RPs), and between them I prefer the stock T50RP. The Dekonis do have more sub-bass, but the bass is boosted everywhere and seems a bit loose in comparison to the stock/un-modded T50RP. That said, I have used the Dekonis for a few hours straight where, possibly by virtue of psychoacoustic adjustment (read: it's all in your head), they work well and the bass doesn't seem particularly bloated. But I did not experience the same instant feeling of "I love these!" when I tried the Dekonis that I did with the stock T50RP. For reference, I had not been listening to the stock T50RP that day prior to unboxing and listening to the Dekoni, so my reaction wasn't based on a direct comparison. The Dekonis sound a lot more like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X - I did a very brief comparison and they're not the same, but they have some similarities. Again, my point is to say that the stock T50RP sounds pretty good out of the box, at least as far as it suits my listening preferences. Got these on a lark after reading & watching numerous write-ups/posts and videos about these and their modded progeny. As others have noted, the stock pads are not so great. Besides not providing a seal for your ear, they also allow your ear to touch the inner ear cup, something that leads to physical fatigue after a while in my experience. However, the $35 ear pads I got here on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X1L287G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) resolved those two problems, and I find myself really enjoying these cans. FWIW, I think these earpads are as comfortable as the Dekoni hybrid pads that came on the Dekoni Blues. Doing a direct comparison of the Fostex T50RP, Sony MDR-Z7M2, and Sennheiser HD 560S using Wye Oak's "Sick Talk" from the Shriek album and no EQ: the Sony has the best sub-bass extension and bass slam - but it can get a bit muddy too; the Fostex has slightly brighter treble than the Sony, and solid bass with good impact, though it doesn't extend as far as the Z7; and the Sennheiser sounds like the most neutral (flat) with somewhat airier soundstage, the brightest treble, and the least boosted bass - the treble is not overwhelming, nor is the bass lacking. Overall, I think the Fostex strikes the best balance on this track, based on my listening preferences, which probably explains why I have been having so much fun listening to these cans since I got them almost 2 weeks ago. One caveat: As others have noted, you will need a decent amp to drive these as they're not terribly sensitive. I've mostly been using a Topping A50S, with the volume around 1 o'clock in low gain mode. For the 3 headphone comparison today, I used a Monoprice Monolith 887. For the Fostex, I set it to medium gain as the volume knob was almost maxed out in the low gain setting, whereas the Sony & Sennheiser were fine on low-gain. In conclusion, I really like these headphones, and more than I thought I would. In fact, I don't even remember what I was expecting when I ordered them other than that I'd probably have to mod them a lot to make them sound good and I was willing to tinker. And I did tinker a bit: but with just a pad swap they are greatly improved over stock, and so much so that I don't want to take them apart. Now I really want to hear the Dekoni Blue & Modhouse Argon!

Fantastic for fun gaming/music listening!
TL;DR: If you're looking to enjoy games with better sound, these are your pair. DO THE AMAZON CALL AND GET THE AMAZON HARMONY CODES! THEY LITERALLY JUST GIVE YOU A CODE FOR 10%-20% OFF MOST OF THE ITEMS YOU'LL BE BUYING! MUST BUY PADS(These are often the most recommended- google around for others if you want but beware that their sound could worsen drastically with a bad match) Shure HPAEC1540 Replacement Alcantara Ear Pads for SRH1540 Headphones Likely will need to buy: A headphone amp/dac set or combo. Linking mine in the review, there are better out there if you are grabbing these for music. Creative Sound BlasterX G5 7.1 Headphone Surround HD Audio External Sound Card with Headphone Amplifier for Windows PC/Mac/PS4/and Other Consoles As a person who is a "gamer" and not an audiophile, I was greatly impressed. If you're looking at this page you've probably done the same as I have, reading/watching headphone reviews in an attempt to find one that works but doesn't break the bank. For me it was either this or the k7xx, and I took this because the k7xx can't be purchased and returned, and these are semi-closed rather than fully open. They are fantastically capable headphones. Out of the box, I was able to use 7.1 surround MUCH clearer than with my old HyperX Cloud IIs(which are already a good headphone that is re-branded). They do, however, come with TINY pancake pads. If you buy this headset and don't replace the ear pads I guarantee you'll return it thinking it isn't comfortable. Makes the headset cost an additional 40-50, but when complete, it's just amazing. They're semi-closed, meaning they'll leak sound, but honestly I think my ear pads leak more sound than the ports at loud levels anyway. Definitely need an amplifier to get good, loud sound out of these. For gaming, I recommend the Creative G5, because it's a soundcard/dac/amp, lets you plug in your microphone, gives you many settings to fine-tune your sound, and most importantly provides support for 7.1 surround sound, which TO ME made so much difference that I won't be letting go of it for a cheaper/better amp. For music, on it's own, it gets to about a 6.5/10 without software for this headset, and to about 8.5/10 utilizing the options the software gives you. My setup is this headset(open-box for $120), 1840 pads($40), G5($120), and a Boompro($30, not the best because of the port location but it's fine for me). Makes my total right around $310- a little on the high side but right around the cost of "high-end" gaming headsets and I guarantee it'll outperform them in comfort/quality all around. Well-worth the investment- the improved positioning has genuinely helped me track enemies in games while the sound improvements are making me hear so much more that I'm now appreciating artists that I used to scoff at. If one does decide to become an audiophile and get even more out of this, you can send these in to get modded into Argons, which are one of the best closed-headphones within their price range, and connect an additional amplifier to the G5, meaning nothing(except maybe the original pads) would go to waste!

Cuscinetti auricolari: I cuscinetti auricolari inclusi non sono eccezionali, io li ho sostituiti immediatamente con dei pad in memory foam in pelle, che potenziano ulteriormente i bassi grazie ad una sigillatura del padiglione superiore. Prezzo a volte elevato, dai 140 ai 180 COMPRATELE! Spesso vanno su, ora sono a 250 euro. In definitiva, le Fostex T50RP sono cuffie ad alte prestazioni che offrono un'esperienza audio eccezionale.

Tuttavia, è importante tenere conto del prezzo elevato e del design aperto, che non offre alcun isolamento dal rumore.

Imaging is very very good. Very accurate sound at high volumes. Punchy. Nothing is out of place just nicely balanced clean dynamic sound. Ear pads are silly thin and will get you by for a while but they will want swapping by most people to get a better, deeper fit and a slightly richer sound profile. They are 50 ohms but need alot of power to reach their potential. 1w at 50ohms is enough to get a great sound out of them but 1.5w at 50ohms would be perfect. I run them on a fiio k5 pro at about 3 'o' clock on the dial, so not much left to go at all and it's not silly loud but it's enough to damage your hearing long term so it's perfectly acceptable running on a k5 pro. Honestly, if you have a good amp already, these are well worth the money.

I bought the T40RP from amazon but I also have T50RP and T50RP dekoni blue. I like all of them but T40RP would be my pick if I only could choose one of them. Important information: T20RP is open. T40RP is closed. T50RP is semi open. Swedish amazon have mixed the models up. If the order says T40RP you will get T40RP but the T40RP is closed and not open as it says on swedish amazon. Just order the right T20RP if you want open headphones and T40RP if you want closed headphones and you will be OK. I love these headphones. The planar magnetic element is excellent and the T40RP is the perfect rock/hardcore/metal headphone in my opinion. It is studio quality sound and a very light and comfortable headphone. The first days the headphone will clamp pretty hard on the head and it should but soon the headband will adjust to the size of your head and feel good. Just use the headphone normally and it will adjust. The T40RP has a lovely detailed sound without being too detailed, it is just right for every music genre I throw at it! Don't believe reviewers saying that the T40RP is the least favourable of the three because it is purely fantastic with just the right punch. Other reviewers suck, trust me, I got taste and style and listen to all music styles! The T40RP can be driven with a phone and it is much better than the T50RP with just the power from a phone so if you won't use headphone amplifier or a premium music phone with a quad DAC and powerful amp like the LG V-series I suggest you stick to the T40RP because the bass is much more lovely if driven by a regular 3.5mm phone jack than the bass of the T50RP. With a quad DAC phone or a good amp you can have a good experience with all of the TxxRP headphones, it is up to personal taste really. Good luck and don't count the T40RP out, it is a fantastic headphone for punkrock, hardcore, metal and any energetic music while being no slouch at any music style!

Le son est vraiment très agréable mais les coussinets tous plats écrasent les oreilles et c'est très frustrant. On voudrait le garder sur la tête tellement le son est bon mais ça fait mal. Si on change les coussinets pour des plus confortable, ça change le son, donc peu d'intérêt pour moi. Je n'ai peut-être pas su trouver la bonne config mais je ne m'attendais à ce que les coussinets soit si plat. Je l'ai donc renvoyé regret car j'adorais le son.
