Yup, just make a new thread asking for easy-to-drive headphones (with a Fiio E10K) as an upgrade to your MH752s. Iâm thinking AKG K371s maybe, otherwise, I donât know.

Does anyone know of a good balanced mod service for T50RP? I know Modhouse has one on their website, but claim that they arenât doing it for existing headphones. (I have Dekoni Blues, but from my understanding, they are just Dekoniâs variant of a T50RP Mk3)

will my Fiio BTR5k be enough for these? Zeos mentions that it pushes the T60RPâs âitâs like a quarter of a watt and it shouldnât push those but it doesâ. But in his review, he said that these are the most inefficient headphones ever (at least in 2016).
Yes, it will make sound on a btr5, but itâs not sound you will want to listen to for very long. The key thing in Zâs video is the T60âs are modded to run balanced. You only get â1/4 wattâ balanced. So if your mkiiiâs are modded balanced, then youâre good to go. If not, my experience is it sounds bad single ended.
Alright, thanks.
I can confirm 250mW of Class A power is enough for T50RPs, but with calm songs the volume pot will be at max. Iâm currently listening to a rock album with my T50RPs and my SMSL sAp-1 (90$ Class A amp, 270mW). Volume at 75%.
500mW is the minimum, imo. Just to be certain. It just would be stupid to buy an amp and a calm song you like isnât loud enough for you because they did not use compression in the studio. Iâd get a xduoo xd-05 (non-plus, or the brand new âbasicâ with integrated bluetooth if you prefer, both have 500mW â no need for the 1 watt âplusâ I think).
(âŠI almost screwed up and wrote â250 watts of Class A is enoughâ, lol. âOof!â)

Would not have been INcorrect. That would be plenty of power. If you bridged that Mono, Zeos might even agree itâs enough power.

Do this headphone go on sale often? I want to grab a pair to modđ€
Iâm very interested in getting a pair of the T50rps to trial, but am worried that my current setup wonât power these properly.
Does anyone have experience powering the T50s off the ifi zen dac? (running of USB power only)
6.3mm S-BAL (SE) 230mW@32 Ohm⊠Iâd be surprised.
My 270mW amp can run my Fostex T50RPs⊠but itâs Class A (smsl sap-1).
Otherwise I always said you need one watt for these (95% of the time theyâre plugged into my JDS Atom amp, which is 1 watt, at high gain, volume at 10 oâclock 
).
âŠZeos said he could finally hear bass with the T50RPs? 
Hi, did you test the AKG K-270/ K-271 Foam Net Pieces?
I am curious if they fit the T50 and how they change the sound.
Oh well, sorry, I completely forgot about these foam pieces (I wanted to order something from Thomann, but did not).
But @MazeFrame did it, see pics here.
Also, welcome to the forum!
Thank you for the link with pictures, i searched myself but could not find pictures.
They could be a little bigger i guess.
Found two different ones for AKG, a larger version for K240:

And a Version with a center cutout for K701:

There also is a Version for HD650 (DMS was mentioning it):
https://www.thomann.de/de/sennheiser_hd600_650_foam_net_pad.htm
Anyone know about running these on an Objective2 ?
Got the Drop one going to 240V, 6.5x gain, specs say 613mW at 33ohms, 355mW at 150ohms. Got no power figures for 50ohms.
No idea if itâs Class A or not.
This is looking optimistic mind you - the He4xxâs (bigger opener planars) go more than loud enough on it for me, and I found this amp-headphone pairing tool:
https://www.audiobot9000.com/match/fostex/t-50rp-mk3/with/jds-labs/objective2
https://www.audiobot9000.com/match/hifiman/he-400i/with/jds-labs/objective2
Difference in peak SPL (basically loudness yes?) is small, while the damping factor is quite a bit bigger with the Fostexâs than the Hifimanâs, which I take to be âhow much it manages to not change the tuningâ, and therefore a good thing.

Iâm not the only one who noticed that he has the MKIII not the MKII?
