Fostex TH-610

The Fostex TH-610 is the successor to the critically acclaimed TH600, a semi-open back dynamic headphone with Fostex's proprietary Bio-Dyna 50mm diaphragm and a 1 Tesla magnetic circuit, housed in beautiful black walnut ear cups with a matte finish and a detachable cable system compatible with TH900 MK2 replacement cables.

Type and Technology

Semi-open back dynamic headphone. 50mm Bio-Dyna diaphragm, Fostex's proprietary bio-cellulose compound material that delivers rich low frequencies, natural midrange, and extended treble. 1 Tesla (1,000 gauss) neodymium magnetic circuit for low distortion and wide dynamic range. Detachable 2-pin cable with rhodium-coated gold-plated connectors. Included 3m Hi-FC unbalanced cable. Compatible with TH900 MK2 balanced and unbalanced replacement cables.

Sound Character

Warm, musical, and organic, the Bio-Dyna diaphragm gives the TH-610 a particular tonal richness and natural resonance that suits long listening sessions with acoustic instruments, jazz, and classical. The semi-open design provides a wider soundstage than a fully closed headphone while maintaining moderate isolation.

Build and Comfort

Black walnut ear cups with matte finish, each pair has its own unique natural grain. Low-repulsion leatherette ear pads for long-session comfort. 375g without cable. Includes a leatherette carrying bag.

Best For

Listeners who want a warm, musical, natural-sounding semi-open dynamic headphone with premium wood aesthetics and the flexibility of a detachable cable system.
