The Mayflower T50rp MKIII. I had heard so much about how good modded Fostex headphones were I figured I’d give them a try. To my ear they were a sibilant mess. The worst sounding headphones I ever heard. I returned them. The amps I used them with were the DarkVoice 336SE, AudioENGINE D1 and Aune X7S. Maybe the amp combos were bad. Maybe the mod was bad. I have never heard an unmodded set of T50rp headphones. I may try them again someday, but that experience soured me on those headphones.

mindhead1You're not alone there. I've felt the same way about many of their variants. And when they didn't have those issues, they were way too bassy and dark. I have the T60RP now and they honestly improve on every issue I had with the T50 family. They're U-shaped but thing bring a sense of clarity with that glare and harshness that can be seen in the T50. Bass is lessened but tightened up and no crazy spikes or dips in the mids. Personally, I'd try and give them a listen over any T50 variant nowadays.
