"Pure Sound Quality"

Feature:
Basic headphones. No trix no gimmicks, just amazing sound quality.

Quality:
Headpones are tough, durable and can take a beating. No loose earpieces to flop around.

Value:
For the price these head phones are amazing. They can play at amazingly loud levels and still keep the clean non distorted sound they produce.

Desirability:
Not the "sexiest" pair of headphones, but who cares. I don't want sexy headphones, I want quality headphones that produce non-comparable sound. If it is style your looking for go to radio shack and by a cheap pair of silver headphones, these are pure quality.

Sound:
The sound quality is crisp clear and out performs many other headphones within price range. I also own a pair of the Sony MDRV700DJ, which have found a nice place on the shelf. There is no sound biasness with these headphones, they play the music as it comes in perfectly.

Overall:
I have had these headphones for six months now. I use them in the studio and at home. They still exceed their claim. If you are looking for the hot new product with all the flashy lights and functions look somewhere else. If you are looking for a comfortable, beautifully sounding, quality pair of head phones look no further.

"Better for listening pleasure rather than accurate tracking/mixing..."

Feature:
the detatchable plug has never really been an issue to me. Never had a pair of phones that the plug tore out of or got cut off.

Quality:
The quality is good. It's a very solid pair of headphones.

Value:
With the MSRP being $200 you'd think that there would have been more attention to the eq response of these phones. The sound is pleasing and still translates better to speakers than the other phones I have but it is not quite there.

Sound:
It's true that these are lacking in treble energy. I have found, however, that they do an extraordinarily good job of representing what one would hear with a subwoofer. They do a much better job of this than the sony mdr-v6 and akg k141's I have. I wouldn't get these for accurate tracking. The are very good at handling distortion and clipping.

Overall:
I would only buy these if you listen to music for pleasure. With a really good headphone amp - they are wonderful. This is probably because they almost seem to reduce distortion apparent in any recording. That is definitely the strong point here. It's a very noble attempt from fostex that would benefit greatly from a revised and updated model.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
The new Fostex T20RPmkII and T40RPmkII now join the acclaimed T50RP in offering the true and accurate headphone monitoring crucial for recording studios, post houses, remote broadcast facilities, project studios and DJ'. Here is a range of headphones which have been designed from the outset to offer the widest frequency range, to minimise listening fatigue and to allow you to accurately pinpoint and analyse all aspects of your creative output. Headphones which faithfully reproduce all aspects of the program material, free from any sonic coloration and distortion. And headphones which combine supreme clarity and audio performance in a comfortable, sophisticated design.

Clear, Transparent Sound
All RP Series headphones deliver this uncolored reproduction and natural clear sound right across the full frequency range with full bass and sparkling highs. But it's the sonic quality at high sound pressure levels which really sets these headphones apart. Whereas lesser headphones struggle at high sound pressure levels, the RP Series have no such problems. The bass is always powerful and distortion-free even at high levels. - Essential when headphone monitoring in noisy environments such as ENG recording, DJ work, and in applications where you need to concentrate totally on your the program material. The Design of the leatherette padded ear cushions enhance the excellent sound isolation and superb deep bass reproduction

Unique Fostex RP Technology
Key to the transparent sound reproduction is Fostex's Regulated Phase Technology, a proprietory transducer and diaphragm design that has earned Fostex more than twenty international patents and has been successfully applied to microphones, headphones and loudspeakers used and relied upon in professional and commercial sound installations worldwide. This technology has been enhanced still further in a new RP Diaphragm (now standard across the range), which uses copper foil etched polyimide film to provide excellent resistance to high level input peaks of up to 3000mW (T50RP), ensuring an accurate sound regardless of the volume.

Comfort and Durability
Manufactured to the most exacting standards with durable, tough and rugged materials and components, RP Series headphones are not only built to last. They're also built for comfort. Those padded ear cushions and wide, self adjusting headbands ensure maximum comfort and fit during extended wearing periods. Fostex's eye for design and real-world usability can also be seen in the lockable, single entry jack which minimizes cord tangles and offers excellent serviceability.

The Last Word
Whether you're monitoring analog or digital audio sources, work in a professional or project studio, mixing live, or need a great pair of 'cans for DJ work, you require headphones which offer solid bass, clear mids and sparkling highs. And faithfully reproduce all aspects of the program material, free from any sonic coloration and distortion.

A pair of Fostex RP Series headphones will deliver all this.

And then some.
