Fostex the people! [oops! wasn’t I supposed to stop saying this?] The new condition Fostex TR-90 (250 ohm) semi-open headphones are down to $99 with free shipping by “AudioDeluxe” with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. The other variations go for $109+.
This is a relatively newer line of Fostex headphones that unfortunately does not follow the Beyerdynamic number scheme. In Beyerdynamiclandia, DT-770 is closed, 8 is semi-open, 9 is open. Makes sense. In Fosterlandia, 7 is open, 8 is closed, and 9 is semi-open. No pattern! Harder for a mnemonic 🙂
These are dynamic headphones, not planar magnetics.
