TR-80 // Closed Ear Headphones

The TR series is a brand new line of premium, professional, dynamic headphones from Fostex. The line consists of six different headphones, with three different housing designs that are offered in one of two different impedances to meet your audio demands. The headphone drivers, housings, and other elements have been newly designed from the ground up, and specially tuned by the expert headphone designers at Fostex for the very best audio performance. Featuring freshly developed, proprietary Fostex 40mm drivers, and specially-tuned components for accurate sound reproduction and serious monitoring, the closed housing of the TR-80 offers maximum isolation and tight, focused bass response. Each pair also comes with both standard and extra-thick ear pads for ultimate comfort and improved acoustic isolation.

The impedance level of headphones determines the amount of power it needs to deliver its maximum audio output. Headphones with weaker impedance are less powerful, and cannot be used with high-end equipment because they are easily overloaded. Headphones with higher impedance can be used with increasingly sophisticated equipment, and are the type preferred by industry professionals and musicians. The TR series offers all three of its headphones in an impedance of either 80 or 250ohms. For perspective; most professional DJ headphones top out at 70ohms, while standard earbuds or mass-market headphones are usually lower than 25ohms. Imagine what you could do with ten times the audio power you're used to.
