Review on Fostex T50RP MK3 Semi-Open 🎧 Studio Headphones, Designed for Professional Use by Rimba

I simultaneously compared the T50RP MK3 with the T20RP MK3, T40RP MK3 and Fostex TH-900 MK2 on the same source. In addition, I am familiar with the sound of Fostex TH 600 and a number of others in the range of 20-60 And the last ones are the best I've heard from the closed type. But their top is too high, it is unpleasant for the ears. I only came to the store because I accidentally stumbled upon the T20RP MK3 reviews. I thought that it could not be that for 12 thousand ears were praised so much. And so, in fact, I don’t need headphones, otherwise I would take something like Grado from the top. I can only say that earlier in each ear I found minuses in the sound. With no exceptions. And so I decided to listen to the T20RP MK3, and let it lie in the closet for better times, if you like it. There is no desire to put 50 thousand or more in the closet. That's the backstory. On listening to the T20RP MK3, it immediately became clear that they were deaf. OK, carry, I say, T40RP MK3. Have brought. Worse! Impossible to be deaf, the bottoms are crushing, there are many of them and they are sluggish. Everyone writes that the bass is not enough for weak sources. I don’t know, maybe people have TOTALLY something with their ears, a total perverted concept of bass sufficiency, it seems. Because bass is more than enough on any source. And by the way, although the 40s are open, the sound is like in a shell, the most closed, the 20s are better, but also so-so in this regard. So, when they brought the T50RP MK3, I immediately knew that I would take them. Everything is so harmonious, so balanced! No shells (although they are "semi" closed, but they sound like open ones), no bass rumble, resolution is enough, the middle and top are bright, but not pressing on the brain, like TH-900 MK2 (no need for nothing!). It is impossible to listen to the 900s loudly: the brain is splitting, and their “shell” is obvious compared to the 50s. I won’t say that the 50s have the perfect sound, but the one that is better, I heard only in SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive ones. But he wasn't much better. But still listen for yourself, otherwise they praise the 20s and 40s, but to my ears they are horror and horror-horror, respectively, when compared with something like the TH 600.
