Fostex T60RP MK2 Semi-Open Headphones

4th Generation Planar Diaphragm RP Driver Mounted in a Solid Black Walnut housing, optimized for High-Fidelity listening.

The T60RP has evolved into the long-awaited “MK2” model.
This is the latest model of the RP technology headphones, which have been used in professional music studios around the world for over 50 years since its birth. The T60RP has evolved from the well-received T60RP for listening to the mk2 with the 4th generation RP driver, a full-field-driven planar diaphragm driver originally developed and manufactured in-house by Fostex, mounted in a solid black walnut housing. The T60RP is the next generation of flat diaphragm headphones for listening, with a completely new housing design and precise acoustic adjustment with the new driver.
*RP and RP technology are Fostex’s proprietary technologies that move the entire surface of the planar diaphragm in regular phase (Regular Phase).

The Housing is made of Solid Natural Wood
Therefore, there may be differences in grain, bark, coloration, knots, etc. in each housing, but this will not affect the sound quality.

Semi-Open Housing carved from Solid Black Walnut
The solid black walnut housing with its beautiful grain and natural texture provides a natural sound that is comfortable to listen to, from the rich and firm depth of the bass range to the muddy and extended high frequencies.

RP Drivers have Evolved to the 4th Generation
The fourth generation of RP technology’s fully-driven planar diaphragm driver, which has been improved through 50 years of in-house technology, features an increased number of magnets that sandwich the diaphragm and a newly designed pattern shape for the printed coils in order to expand the vibration area of the planar diaphragm and make it more uniform. Furthermore, the components of the magnetic circuit have been redesigned to optimize the magnetic flux distribution, thereby suppressing unwanted resonance of the diaphragm and achieving a sharp response in the rise and fall of the sound. The fourth-generation driver, developed by fully introducing various technologies cultivated to date, simultaneously achieves improved sensitivity, smooth frequency response for easy monitoring, and excellent transient characteristics. The new driver enables accurate and subtle reproduction of low to high frequencies, resulting in a more accurate sense of localization and reproduction of the sound field. In addition, as in the past, the new product is manufactured as part of the company’s own production process to provide reliable quality.

Independent Left-Right Y-Cable Connection for Easy Re-cabling
Connectors are provided on both the left and right housings, and a newly developed Y-cable connection is used. 2-pole 3.5 mm connectors improve re-cabling compatibility and increase versatility. The cable uses a high-quality sound OFC conductor.

Comfortable Earpads for a Comfortable Fit
The earpads are low-resilience, around-the-ear earpads for a comfortable fit, even over long periods of listening. The earpads can be fitted with optional Toray Ultrasuede® earpads (EX-EP-RP-SUEDE), which are sold separately. These earpads are soft and comfortable to the touch, and provide smooth, high-grade sound quality from low to high frequencies.
