The Making of the TH900 Lacquer-Finished Housing
Features
Lacquer finish in Bordeaux
Featuring a beautiful “lacquered Bordeaux finish” housing cover crafted by Sakamoto Otsuzo Shoten, a company with 110 years of history.
It delivers a premium feel befitting a Made in Japan product that blends traditional craftsmanship.
Made with premium "Mizume cherry" wood
The housing is crafted from premium “Mizume-zakura” wood, renowned for its fine, dense grain, exceptional hardness, and beautiful surface finish.
Extensive dynamic range
The magnetic circuit with a repulsive magnetic field incorporates a 50mm driver unit with a magnetic flux density of 1.5 tesla.
It delivers an expansive dynamic range through its ultra-powerful magnetic circuit with low distortion.
Sound reproduction with outstanding presence
The diaphragm employs “Biodyna” technology. It delivers rich sound in the ultra-low frequencies, a natural midrange, and, for the high frequencies, achieves reproduction with particularly excellent presence.
— What is Bio-Cellulose Fiber? —
Bio-cellulose fiber is produced using advanced biotechnology. Each fiber is 20–50 nm (nanometers) in diameter, making it an ultra-fine fiber approximately 1/1000th the thickness of natural plant fibers (such as cotton). This fiber is highly pure α-cellulose, containing almost no harmful impurities and exhibiting the highest level of crystallinity.Ultra-fine bio-cellulose fiber possesses exceptional capabilities for reproducing mid-to-high frequencies. Combining it with various other fibers in appropriate blends allows for sound quality that combines the characteristics of each fiber, enabling the creation of sound at a significantly higher level. Leveraging our expertise accumulated over many years, we have established technology to mass-produce high-performance diaphragms by blending bio-cellulose fiber with other fibers under optimal conditions.

Includes high-purity OFC unbalanced cable
It comes with a high-purity OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) unbalanced cable rated at 7N (99.99999%) grade, which maximizes transmission capability by eliminating impurities to the utmost degree.
Achieved lightweight ear pads
The ear pads feature protein leather and low-rebound cushioning.
Incorporating egg-derived protein delivers a pleasant feel against the skin and comfortable fit.
Additionally, they achieve a 60% weight reduction compared to genuine leather.
Gotch (ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION) Special Interview
Gotch, also known as Masafumi Gotō, who is not only the frontman of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION but also active in solo work and various projects, uses Fostex’s TH900mk2 and TH610 headphones.
We had the opportunity to hear fascinating insights from him—about why he chose Fostex headphones, what’s essential for future music production, and even his personal listening environment.
