Review: Great sound but definitely need an amplifier. - Imaging is very very good. Very accurate sound at high volumes. Punchy. Nothing is out of place just nicely balanced clean dynamic sound. Ear pads are silly thin and will get you by for a while but they will want swapping by most people to get a better, deeper fit and a slightly richer sound profile. They are 50 ohms but need alot of power to reach their potential. 1w at 50ohms is enough to get a great sound out of them but 1.5w at 50ohms would be perfect. I run them on a fiio k5 pro at about 3 'o' clock on the dial, so not much left to go at all and it's not silly loud but it's enough to damage your hearing long term so it's perfectly acceptable running on a k5 pro. Honestly, if you have a good amp already, these are well worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is the sound isolation?**
A: Not good.  If you want isolation, try T40RP MK3.  They are closed and should provide better isolation and they use the same driver as the T50RP.

**Q: Can you compare sound quality to sennheiser momentum 1.0? I am looking for my first open back headphones.**
A: The T50RP is the semi open model and considered the most neutral sounding. The T20RP is the open back model and considered to have the most bass. The T40RP are the closed back model. As other have said an AMP is recommended these require a little power to drive. Probably the most power hungry headphone I've owned.

**Q: How hard are they to power? Will fiio x3 (first gen) handle it?**
A: I have a Hiby r3, Hiby r6 Pro and a FIIO X3 II.  The FIIO has significantly more power and drives the T50RP rather well.  I am modding the T50RP to balanced to see if the Hiby's can provide more juice that way.  I don't like running 100% volume for not enough drive strength.  FIIO is a strong little bugger!

**Q: Can the smsl sd793-ii dac/amp combo power these to a modest level (not painfully high)?**
A: I'm not sure this helps, but I use a Fiio A3 Amp w/ my Fostex... it gives nice even highs/lows amplification. I use it w/ an iPod nano, samsung phone, and nexus tablet... my computer and laptop drive the head phones fine w/o the amp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Headphones
*by M***N on 14 November 2017*

I remember the older T50RP MkII as not having enough bass, but having amazing mids - especially for vocals. I then remember spending hours modding them. This new MkIII version, to my ears anyway, is a very different headphone. Lots of luscious, tight bass, maybe rolled off, but sub bass bothers me (Denon HD600 comes to mind). Good highs, not too much at all for me, but slightly veiled mids. They really remind me (in terms of sound signature) of my ATH-M50x. I EQed the mids some with Foobar2000 to push them forward and bang, there are those mids I was missing. I remember someone on youtube saying the same thing, that the Mayflower mod basically removes the veil over the mids and leaves everything else alone. I simply EQ mine. I use these with the stock pads as I find them comfortable (if I take my glasses off). I also did not find them hard to drive at all 6/10 volume on an old iPod touch. Better with an amp, but not twice as good, maybe 10% better, not a world of difference, but better none the less. The orange cable still has kinks from being folded in the box but it works fine. I would not just say these are good for the price, they are just good headphones regardless (unless you are spending thousands - that's another story). If you are having trouble with the cable where it enters the headphone, put some deoxit on the jack and that should take care of it.
