We’ve featured many studio photos and behind-the-scenes clips at 24B over the years, and there’s one consistent appearance you may have noticed among them: Fostex headphones. Sure, that’s the angle\u00a0pushed by the company as well, but it really is true. These things have been the go-to tracking cans in legendary rooms for decades\u00a0(including at my not-so-legendary home setup). We could go on and on, but let’s cut to the chase…<\/p>\n
Fostex are releasing the next\u00a0major revision of the\u00a0classic headphones, following up their\u00a0original\u00a0T series, the RP series, and the RP MKII series with the aptly titled MK3. In addition to the updated appearance shown above, Fostex improved just the parts of these cans that needed it, namely the ear pads, headband, and housing. The updated\u00a0housing is said to expand upon\u00a0the performance of\u00a0the original RP driver.<\/p>\n
While this is not a completely overhaul, those of us who love the RP line to begin with are relieved that they’ve left the core quality of the\u00a0headphones intact. Many brands\u00a0boast flat frequency response, et al., but in my experience our Fostex T-50’s manage to bring both an honest representation of the mix and a pleasing sound to keep the muse inspired, where some other “flat” cans are harsh and not as intended for enjoying music. Simply put, you\u00a0can mix, track, and jam out with the Fostex RPs. And yes, this is completely unsolicited praise. Can’t wait to try these things out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
