amazon Fostex TH-5B reviews
Initially, FOSTEX International is a subsidiary of Japan Foster Electric Group, specializes in manufacturing equipment for the recording and mixing professional. Recently, FOSTEX also decided to attack the market of ordinary consumers to form full-size, in-ear also Headphone Amplifier ability to support many different standard equipment, including iDevice.
Returning to our headphones, it was packed quite carefully (the 2 layers of plastic bags and bags shockproof) inside the hard plastic box green. The box seemed simple, but it youthful with a pencil drawings white rabbit are … wearing headphones, the work of Japanese artist under the alias monster way: D [di:]. Inside, in addition to the headphones, we only add 1 cable moved from 3.5mm to 6mm, the documentation used (full Japanese!).
In terms of look and feel, FOSTEX TH-5B owns extremely simple design with rough surface with plastic casing FOSTEX logo imprinted on the surface. But again, these headphones are exuding youthful alternative to cable cyan. It can be said, the first time contact with a pair of these, in my head think of a sample image full size headphone with colors other similar, the Razer Electra.
As mentioned, the first criteria when selecting my headphones bass range must be thick and warm sound. To test this criterion, The Poet and The muse of the Finland Poets band was chosen. As expected, both acoustic guitar rapture deep, pounding the holy both in the high notes. In the second half of the song, drumming combined with newly isolated violin sound, again just blends together. The same sound quality with the performances Into the Night of Carlos Santana with Chad Kroeger. Bass phenomenon “overrides” the other negative strips have not seen, but to be sure, I’ll have to experiment with a few track.
Continuing, some smooth jazz version was picked out to test the ability to show the bass and treble range of headphones from Japan. Experiment with 2 tracks Alone and Summertime of saxophonist Kenny G, soaring sound of the trumpet banks not being “crushed” by drums or acoustic contrabass powerful flickering behind. Product testing with a “fellow” but has a slightly higher price, which is the Audio-Technica AD500, with a different headset, Grado SR80i (same price for AD500), although bearing high tonal range listen to high quality audio clarity and detail (perhaps the reason arises from the inherent warm sound of TH-5B), but the full size of the sample bass seem to show signs of “shortness of breath” than human the main object of the article. Drums and contrabass voice on both AD500 and SR80i almost impossible to make me happy, not to mention satisfying story.
Switch category “love” of mine, metal. Riffs of guitarist in the group Three Days Grace on The Good Life is expressed in aggressive again. Cymbal sound although slightly harsh but did not generate sound shy. A little softer as Paradise City. Vocals of Axl Rose eccentric guy with solos of Slash are also shown excellence on the headset TH-5B.

Finally, to “pin down” screen sound check, let’s turn over a new genre appeared, but was still able to do for young people “crazy”. That is Dubstep. Although the genre is the ultimate test little hardcore, but to me, this seems to be quite appropriate category for testing bass quality, thus determining whether the headset is right for you or not. Experiments with two copies of the track FLAC Stars (Klaypex) and Rage Valley of Knife Party, plus what was there before, I absolutely can come to the conclusion: TH-5B is the headsets provide quality bass in particular, as well as overview of the most wonderful sound in the sample full-size headphones in the range price. Sure beats, compact, powerful.
After 5 hours of continuous wearing headphones, I was forced to give TH-5B off to rest a while. Two leather earpad with soft foam ear headphones help users without heat, as well as ear pain after long periods of use.
