Fostex T-725 at €990: Asking high, but not outlandish for the right buyer.
At €990, this listing sits well above your comparable median of €296 and pushes into the 75th percentile territory (€992). That's a premium ask, but it's defensible if the unit is genuinely in good condition and complete. The T-725 is a compact powered monitor with a solid reputation for nearfield work—not a common flea-market find—so scarcity can justify the ask. Still, verify the seller's condition assessment carefully; "good" is subjective, and any cosmetic wear, hum, or channel imbalance will make this price feel steep.
Before committing, confirm the drivers are clean and undamaged (foam rot is common on older Fostex monitors), test both channels at various volumes for any distortion or crackling, and check that all connections are solid. Ask whether the original power cable and manual are included, and get specifics on hours of use if possible. A unit that's been warehouse-stored beats one that's seen heavy studio duty at the same price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Fostex emerged in 1973 as the branded consumer and professional division of Foster Electric Co., Ltd., a Japanese loudspeaker manufacturer founded in 1949. Established to bring Foster's high-quality speaker components directly to dealers and customers, Fostex quickly gained international recognition through innovative products like the T20RP headphones and 6301 studio monitors. The brand's foundation rests on Foster's position as one of the world's largest OEM loudspeaker developers, employing tens of thousands across multiple countries and manufacturing millions of speaker units monthly.
The company built its reputation across three interconnected product categories: professional studio equipment, consumer headphones, and powered monitor speakers. Fostex became particularly renowned for pioneering RP (Regular Phase) technology, which delivers clear sound with high sensitivity and wide dynamic range—a signature that defines their headphones, microphones, and speaker designs. Beginning in 1978, the brand expanded into professional speaker development, eventually introducing the PM series of powered monitors and establishing itself as a trusted choice for recording studios, broadcast facilities, and serious home listeners.
Fostex occupies a distinctive middle ground in the audio market: neither ultra-premium boutique nor mass-market consumer, but rather a respected specialist brand with deep professional credentials. Their products appeal to recording engineers, studio owners, and discerning hi-fi enthusiasts who prioritize accuracy and reliability over luxury positioning. The 6301B monitor remains an industry standard after decades in production, while the T20RP headphones maintain popularity among studio professionals—testament to Fostex's enduring reputation for sonic integrity and engineering excellence.
