The TH808 is a premium headphone crafted from Fostex's top-tier open-type model, TH909. It is meticulously tuned and features a high-grade black walnut solid wood housing with aluminium etched parts and equipped with a proprietary technology in-house made “BIODYNA” diaphragm driver unit.
Each unit undergoes careful assembly at our facility in Japan.
In Detail:
-
Equipped with in-house crafted driver units from the TH900 series.
The proprietary in-house driver unit, crafted from technologies honed over numerous years, blends bio-cellulose fiber with various other materials on the diaphragm.
- This meticulous combination, under optimal conditions, results in a diaphragm with low specific gravity, high Young's modulus, and superior internal loss
- Utilising a repulsive magnetic circuit with neodymium magnets, the 1.5 Tesla ultra-strong magnetic circuit delivers exceptional responsiveness and an expansive dynamic range across all frequencies.
- This design enables the reproduction of exquisite mid-high frequencies with detailed resolution, while also faithfully capturing the rich low mid-range with significant amplitude.
-
Ingenious open housings made of solid black walnut and aluminium
The housings, crafted from premium solid black walnut, showcases a distinctive design. Its open aperture, coupled with a dual arrangement of etched aluminium components,
offers varying impressions depending on the light and viewing angle.
- The carefully calibrated aperture ratio and precise fine-tuning of each internal component, enhanced by the resonance of the solid black walnut wood,
result in a natural sound field that offers a comfortable and fatigue-free listening experience.
-
TH808 original high-purity OFC unbalanced cable included
It comes with TH808's exclusive high-purity OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) unbalanced cable, free from impurities, ensuring optimal transmission performance.
-
Detachable connector port and 7N grade cable for internal wiring
The removable connector on the headphone body, as well as the detachable connector terminal, are both rhodium-plated terminals.
Rhodium plating is renowned for its durability, resistance to wear, and ability to protect against corrosion.
- Achieving a balanced connection is possible with the use of an XLR-terminal cable (ET-H3.0N7BL), which is available for separate purchase.
-
Ear pads with low-resilience cushions
The detachable headphone connection terminals are rhodium-plated to enhance hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance, ultimately boosting their reliability.

Included is a high-purity OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) unbalanced cable of 4N (99.99%) grade*.
* C1011/JIS standard product
Both the headphone cable and the removable connector on the headphone body come with a detachable rhodium-plated connector terminal, recognised for its durability, resistance to wear, and protection against corrosion. A balanced connection can be achieved using an XLR-terminal cable (ET-H3.0N7BL), available for purchase separately.
Ear pad:
The earpads, identical to those on the TH909, are crafted from meticulously chosen high-grade synthetic leather, ensuring a pleasant touch and a comfortable fit even during extended wear. Additionally, the low-resilience cushions contour behind the ears seamlessly, minimising sound leakage.
