Ah, you want something from the Fostex Murry Carter line of 'phones!my current fones are fostex t50rp mk3, theyre quite good. do they make a higher end studio one? as in pro audio marketed ones, not audiophile like that lacquered crap that just drives up the price for no good reason.
Well some cheap headphones make the sound seem very compact with close to no separation between instruments. Others make the music very spacious. The old and new Denon headphones have wooden cups, as do some Audeze models. I don't think it affects the sound much at all, but it sure looks nice.
Regarding the sound quality, it's going to be a definite upgrade from my LCD-2, which are going on sale.
Fostex makes some really beautiful cups with urushi lacquer and platinum foil logo finish.

Awesome vid!! Looks like you guys had a fantastic time here! Not too blessed by the weather though! We usually have a lot more sunshine!! Which lodge did you go too? Looks like Kruger?
I bought a pair of Meze Classics 99 which are wood cups and gorgeous. A lot of sound for the money as well.
Wildlife photography is a real $$ sucker. For many years, my camera gear was worth more the the truck I drove... :rolleyes2:
Which Focals do you have? I am looking at picking up something to replace some 30-year-old AKGs. Will be hooked up to an Oppo player that will decode stored digital music (HDD) and also want to play with streaming Tidal through my home desktop (likely using a Dragonfly as a DAC initially).
i'm embarassed to say that I have the Utopias. pretty amazing, actually.
Nothing to be embarrassed about whatsoever. In my younger days (i.e., when I had time to sit and listen uninterrupted by a little kid) I would have considered trying those out. And also watching the kid drop a set of headphone onto the wood floor the other night kinda reinforced the need for me to be a bit cost-conscious on this. I just read the other night about the newest Focal model, which is a little less then half the cost of the Utopias -- those are on my radar if I can stay away from purchasing knives and watches for a couple months.i'm embarassed to say that I have the Utopias. pretty amazing, actually.
