    Just so you know the T20rp and T50rp don’t have the same drivers despite having the same model number on the driver. Smeggy handled hundreds of them while making his thunderpants. He naturally thought the drivers were the same since they have the same number but he couldn’t get the same results with the T20rp driver. No comment about the T60rp driver but I would assume the same. If this upsets your thread just say so and I’ll delete it.

    I'd fear his sample size was low. The drivers look exactly alike and QA variations pertaining to membrane tensioning, creasing and resistance have since surfaced, maybe he ran into these?

    I defer to Smeggy by default. :bow:

    I don’t know. Just a heads up.

    I assumed they have different drivers in the first place. Good to know this. I have never looked into the Fostex mods, and I am not intending to buy these cans for mods. I simply want a pair of over ears.

    I wouldn't get a stock pair of any other model than the T50RP mk3 or T60RP for listening, they are terribly tuned. I'd see to the Drop pre-modded pairs.
