I literally stumbled upon a link that sent me to an Amazon page with Fostex TH-5BB, was wondering if anyone has info on it or possibly done a review? Can not really find anything, those that I did find were in different languages. Google Translate does not work to well. =P Are they worth getting? I understand the T50 is popular, especially modded. Plus, got to love their shipping / case, well the one's with the animals on Amazon.

Just got them in the mail today, enjoy them =D Comfortable ear-pads, the headband will take some time to get used to. The sliding mechanism is pretty loose, when you adjust for fit. The bass has a kind of boom feel. Isolates pretty well actually. If I take them off and just hold the cups together can not hear the music/sound. If I turn it up a little louder and hold them, you can actually feel the drivers moving. Wonder if burn will help them even more.
