Fostex T60RP

The Fostex T60RP is a semi-open planar magnetic headphone built around Fostex's proprietary Regular Phase (RP) diaphragm technology, a lineage stretching back to the 1970s, now housed in handsome African mahogany ear cups with modern ergonomic refinements including low-repulsion ear pads and an optional balanced connection.

Type and Technology

Semi-open back planar magnetic headphone. Fostex proprietary RP (Regular Phase) planar diaphragm made of polyimide film with copper foil etching, a technology Fostex has refined for over 50 years, delivering wide frequency reproduction, superior transient characteristics, and high input tolerance up to 3,000mW. African mahogany wooden housing contributes acoustic damping and aesthetic warmth. Detachable cable system supporting both balanced and unbalanced connections.

Sound Character

Accurate and detailed with strong transient response, RP planar technology provides a flat, extended frequency response with excellent speed and micro-detail retrieval. The mahogany housing adds a subtle warmth to the presentation, and the semi-open design provides natural soundstage width. A compelling option for those who want planar performance with a wood aesthetic at an accessible price.

Build and Comfort

African mahogany housing, a wood known in the guitar industry for its acoustic properties and resonance characteristics. Low-repulsion ear pads for extended listening comfort. 380g without cable. Stylish and robust.

Best For

Listeners who want a planar magnetic headphone with natural wood aesthetics and the option for balanced connection, at a price point well below flagship planar territory.
