Fostex TH-1000RP

The TH1000RP and TH1100RP are flagship RP headphones that incorporate Fostex's proprietary state-of-the-art premium grade RP planar magnetic driver technology in a solid wood housing. Dyed with Aizome from Tokushima, known as Japan's reknowned indigo dyeing method, the headphones are carefully assembled in Japan. This one-of-a-kind texture brings out the beauty of the individually different wood grain that is unique to traditional Aizome. Fostex's 50 years of flat diaphragm RP technology come together beautifully in two models of flagship headphones, a closed type and an open type.

RP Technology's fully-driven planar diaphragm driver, which has been improved since 1974, has a newly developed planar diaphragm that is larger than the conventional T50RPmk3/mk4 RP driver. In addition to increasing the number of magnets sandwiching the diaphragm and adopting a newly designed printed coil pattern shape, the components of the magnetic circuit have been completely redesigned to optimize the magnetic flux distribution, suppressing unnecessary resonance of the diaphragm and enabling sharp response to the rise and fall of sound. This simultaneously achieves high sensitivity, smooth frequency characteristics, and excellent transient characteristics, enabling accurate and delicate reproduction from the deep bass range to the treble range, and realizing the ability to express a clear sound image in space with a clear sense of positioning.
