I will only add one thing to those reviews: I am a classical musician and concert goer, so I am very sensitive to timbre, particularly from acoustic instruments. So far, under $1,000 these are the only headphones that I tried that could actually convince me with a good reproduction of piano and strings (actually there are a lot of famous headphones that I've tried up to $5,000 that still don't do any justice to acoustic instruments, so this is a tough quality to get). Grand pianos just sound natural and we can hear a bit of the cabinet's warm coloration that is almost never heard on headphones. Strings sound lush and beautiful, and violins are sweet-sounding on good recordings. On most recordings violins do not sound right, so this might be a non-issue for most readers, but the Fostex make the poor recordings sound less terrible.
The Ebony cups are truly beautiful. Pictures do not do them any justice. They do not have a pronounced wood veil but are not ink black, either. Really a gem to take good care of.
Otherwise these are pretty much "old school" headphones. When you put these on you can definitely notice that they are the result of tweaking with an old technology: they do not have the detail, speed and accuracy of its modern competitors. Soundstage is comparatively narrow, "closed-back" style, and in some situations these phones are prone to distortion, even at civilized volume levels. The headphone industry has been making vast improvements on mid-priced models, so these days you can get very decent sound from phones around the $ 300 price tag (not to mention the permanent or recurrent discounts on so many models). There are many solid closed-back headphones in the market today, and open-back dynamic headphones are catching up with closed-back models on bass reproduction, while offering all the advantages of open-back design. Sure, closed-back headphones will always have the upper hand for absolute bass boominess, but that's not exactly an audiophile trait and can be had for much cheaper than the Fostex.
I bought some Brainwavz round replacement pads on amazon, both velour and leather. Not an easy fit, but they work. I wanted to see if the soundstage improved a bit. It did. I found that the oval shaped pads that come with the Fostex TH-X00 impacted the sound on two levels: first, they narrow the soundstage and give the headphones a more "in-your-face" attitude; second, they muffle the sound a bit, removing a bit of presence in the treble region. I didn't like the round velour pads, which decharacterize these phones' sound signature, but found the round leather pads quite an improvement. Alas, on poor recordings, that sweet sounding treble is gone... But I prefer to have a more accurate reproduction than one that sounds more "equalized", albeit sometimes prettier. Out of my vinyl player or my Revox A77, the Fostex sound flawless and absolutely beautiful.
Bottomline: beautiful, unique timbre from an old school pair of closed-back headphones. The wooden ebony cups are a true gem.
