Manifested by the minds of passionate audiophiles at Drop and professional engineers at Fostex, the TH-X00 came packed with a unique design and build. The features included mahogany ear cups, a magnesium alloy frame, Fostex’s renowned biodynamic drivers, and an outstanding sound signature. As the growing need for customization and enhanced comfort amplified in the audiophile community, we knew these were the right headphones to modify with our high-quality replacement earpads. We currently provide replacement earpads in our Elite Hybrid material as we have discontinued our other Elite material earpads. Our Elite Hybrid earpads for the TH-X00 fit numerous headphones. Check out our Dekoni Verified Fit chart to see which headphones are compatible. Now, let’s take a quick look at how our Elite Hybrid earpads compare to the sound signature of the stock earpads for the TH-X00 headphones.
As you can see in our graph, our Elite Hybrid earpads boost the low frequencies a bit, with a bass roll-off beginning at 30 Hz. This does a good job of removing the “mud” from the driver, which allows for a clearer response in the low frequencies. Next, you’ll notice a dip in the midrange at roughly 500 Hz to 1 kHz. This dip can essentially account for ear gain, creating a less sensitive sound than what our ears may be used to. At 3 kHz, there is roughly a 4 dB dip. This can make some of the midrange instruments in your music feel a little less apparent. As for the higher frequencies, our Elite Hybrid earpads closely match the sound of this particular range, however, there’s a slight boost leading into the higher frequencies. This increase can allow for a sharper and clearer treble in instruments like the cymbals.
