About Fostex TH616

Before you immerse yourself in the world of high-quality audio, consider the TH616 Premium Open-Back Over-Ear Audiophile Dynamic Wired Headphones. These headphones are a testament to the artistry of traditional Japanese woodworking, with each unit meticulously hand-assembled in a Japanese factory. The headphone housing is carved from globally renowned black walnut, a material known for its excellent structural rigidity and exceptional acoustic qualities.

The open-back design of these headphones is inspired by the natural phenomenon of sunlight filtering through the trees, creating a radiant glow. This unique design not only enhances structural rigidity but also effectively eliminates modal vibrations. Each opening is precisely sized to prevent resonance at specific frequencies, ensuring an unparalleled audio experience.

The TH616 headphones leverage Fostex's 50 years of expertise in blending bio-cellulose fibers with other materials under optimal conditions. This results in a low specific gravity, high Young's modulus, and high internal loss, enabling the faithful reproduction of delicate, high-resolution mid-high frequencies. The inclusion of a free edge further enhances the accurate reproduction of low mid-range frequencies with substantial amplitude.

The headphones feature an exceptionally robust magnetic circuit with a 50mm driver unit, boasting an impressive magnetic flux density of 1 Tesla. This ultra-strong magnetic circuit ensures minimal distortion and a wide dynamic range, delivering an immersive audio experience.

The TH616 headphones are lightweight yet durable, with aluminum used extensively in the mechanical components for a superior quality feel. The baffle plate incorporates high-specific-gravity resin to effectively minimize resonance noise, resulting in exceptional resolution, a lush mid-range, and high-quality bass reproduction.

The detachable headphone connection terminals are rhodium-plated to enhance hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance, boosting their reliability. The headphones come with a high-grade copper headphone cable, constructed from pure copper and enhanced through specialized processing, to ensure impeccable conductivity and a precise rendition of the full spectrum of bandwidth.

Finally, the TH616 headphones feature a premium artificial leather pad with a soft texture and a low-resilience cushion, ensuring superior comfort and exceptional sound isolation. Experience the perfect blend of Japanese craftsmanship and advanced audio technology with the TH616 Premium Open-Back Over-Ear Audiophile Dynamic Wired Headphones.
