Models covered, with specs and photos, are: Fostex T50, T30, T20, and T10 headphones.
This all being said, I always also tell folks that I personally do not listen to music on the MDR-7506. They are too hyped and unrealistic-sounding to me. I am not sure exactly what they do to the sound, but they make everything sound ‘better’ in a way that i don’t really find ‘better’ but instead somewhat cloying. Regardless, if you want headphones that will play loud, shut out the outside world, and last forever, the 7506 is a great bargain. This is also why almost all musicians prefer the 7506 in a recording-studio-tracking situation. I own several pairs for this reason.
Turns out that the Fostex RP line goes all the way back to 1977. The components have changed a couple of times over the years, but the basic printed-diaphragm technology which distinguishes the RP line from most other headphones has remained the same.
According to the excellent ‘Wikiphonia’ headphone web database, the RP line was originally introduced as a less-fussy (IE, no power supply needed) alternative to the then-novel and popular Stax Electrostatic headphone line.
