Premium model with Japanese Cherry Birch housings finished by Japanese Traditional "Urushi" Lacquer and Silver Foil.
High-End Closed-Back Dynamic Headphones with the most acclaimed lacquered housing in the history of Fostex headphones. The "Urushi" lacquer Bordeaux-finished housing satisfies the pleasure of ownership along with high quality sound.

These high-end sealed stereo headphones feature a newly developed driver unit with a magnetic flux density of 1.5 Tesla, a BioDyna diaphragm, and a 7N (OFC) cord with an optimized wire diameter.

Lacquer, Bordeaux finish
The housing cover features a beautiful lacquer Bordeaux finish “Urushi” by Sakamoto Otozou Shoten, a company that has been in business for 110 years.
The housing cover is a fusion of traditional craftsmanship with a premium feel that is worthy of the “Made in Japan” brand.

High-Grade Wood "Mizume Cherry"
The housing is made of mizumezakura, a high-grade wood with a fine, hard texture and beautifully finished surface.

Extensive Dynamic Range
Magnetic circuit employing a repulsive magnetic field is equipped with a 50mm driver unit with a magnetic flux density of 1.5 tesla. The low distortion rate and ultra-strong magnetic circuit provide a vast dynamic range.

Sound Reproduction with Excellent Presence
The diaphragm is made of “BioDyna”. It realizes a rich sound in the ultra-low range, a straightforward mid-range, and a reproduced sound with excellent presence especially in the high frequency range.

What is Bio-Cellulose Fibre?
Bio-Cellulose Fibre is made by advanced biotechnology and is an ultrafine fibre with a thickness of 20 to 50 nm (nanometers), which is 1/1000th of natural plant fibers (e.g. cotton). These fibers are extremely pure α-cellulose, with almost no harmful impurity components, and exhibit the highest level of crystallinity. The ultrafine bio-cellulose fibre has excellent reproduction ability in the mid and high frequencies. When various fibres are combined with this fibre in an appropriate blend, a sound quality that combines the characteristics of each fibre can be obtained, enabling sound creation of a higher level.

We have established a technology for mass-producing high-performance diaphragms by blending bio-cellulose fibers with other fibers under optimal conditions, utilizing the know-how we have accumulated over many years.
"BioDyna” and “BIODYNA” are registered trademarks of Foster Electric Co.

Carefully Selected Cable
2M Single-Ended cable with 7N grade (99.99999%) high-purity OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) cord is included as standard. The plug sleeve is made of highly durable duralumin.

Lightweight Earpads
Protein leather and low-resilience cushions are used for ear pads.
Egg-derived protein is blended into the earpads for a pleasant feel and comfortable fit.
In addition, they are 60% lighter than genuine leather.

This edition does not include a headphone stand. This edition features simplified packaging.

Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Madison ★★★★★

The lacquer finish on these is absolute art—the cherry birch housing catches light like a polished gem. Sound isolation is fantastic for a closed-back, and the bass hits tight without muddying the mids.

Sofia S. ★★★★★

I was blown away by how well these isolate noise for a closed-back design—perfect for late-night listening sessions. The bass hits deep and textured, exactly what I hoped for from high-end dynamics.

Steven ★★★★☆

The Japanese Cherry Birch cups feel incredibly dense and resonant, and the silver foil accents catch the light beautifully. Soundstage is surprisingly wide for closed-backs, though the bass can be a touch overwhelming on some tracks. Still, for the build quality alone these are a treat.
