Fostex TH909LE Overview

Enjoy premium sound and beautiful styling with the Fostex TH090LE, a pair of over-ear open-back headphones featuring unique 50mm BioDynamic drivers for excellent mid-to-high frequency response. With earcups made from gorgeous Mizume Cherry wood and an elegant lacquered Bordeaux finish, these headphones exude style and high-quality craftmanship.

With a potent 1.5-tesla neodymium magnet inside, the TH909LE headphones deliver wide dynamic range with very low distortion. The look of these professional audiophile headphones is further elevated by double-layer aluminum etching on the earcups. The precisely designed opening ratio ensures a wide and natural soundstage. The comfortable ear cushions sport a low rebound design, so they always snap back to their original positions, even after long listening sessions. The detachable 2-pin to 1/4" unbalanced audio cable is made from high-purity oxygen-free copper and features rhodium plating. These headphones include a faux leather pouch.

A Lacquered Bordeaux Finish
The surface finish of the wooden parts is achieved using a lacquer craft technique uniquely developed by Sakamoto Otosho Shoten Co., Ltd., a company founded in 1900 that applies traditional Japanese craftsmanship to modern industrial products. The lacquer used consists of a base black lacquer and an adhesive lacquer for applying the foil. To express a sophisticated sense of depth, several types of silver foil are smoked with sulfur and applied in a torn-paper-like manner.
Mizume Cherry Wood
Mizume is a premium wood species native to Japan, derived from a variety of the birch tree (Betula). Known for its fine, dense grain and hardness, Mizume Cherry yields a beautiful surface finish, making it ideal for furniture manufacturing. For the TH909, skilled artisans meticulously hand-finish each piece.
BioDynamic Driver
Leveraging expertise accumulated over many years, Fostex blends biocellulose fiber with other fibers under optimal conditions. This achieves low specific gravity, high Young's modulus, and high internal loss. Alongside delicate, high-resolution reproduction of beautiful mid-to-high frequencies, the adoption of a free edge with excellent linearity faithfully reproduces even large-amplitude low-to-mid frequencies.
Powerful Magnetic Circuit
Featuring a neodymium magnet with a magnetic flux density of 1.5 tesla, the TH909LE delivers expansive dynamic range through a low-distortion ultrapowerful high-performance magnetic circuit.
Double-Layered Aluminum Etching
The openings feature a unique design with double-layer aluminum etched parts that change their impression depending on light intensity and angle. Furthermore, through the opening ratio and repeated fine-tuning of each internal component, it reproduces a natural sound field that is comfortable and fatigue free.
High-Purity OFC Unabalcned Cable
It comes with a 7N (99.99999%) grade high-purity OFC (oxygen-free copper) unbalanced cable, which maximizes transmission capability by eliminating impurities to the utmost degree.
Low-Rebound Earpads
Fostex has specially designed earpads that fit snugly around the back of the ear to minimize sound leakage. Featuring low-rebound cushions and premium synthetic leather, they provide a comfortable feel against the skin and a pleasant wearing experience even during extended use.
