Headphoneus Supremus
.
Soundwise:
Warm lush mids.
Slightly rolled off trebles, not that dissimilar to Audeze.
Nice bass extension but not overextended into the "basshead" realm.
The clarity, the balance, the extension on both ends is more then decent.
As compared to HifiMan's 400i's, the bass response is a bit more extended and they dont reproduce the slight upper midrange honk of the 400i's.
These are, in my opinion, slightly low-mid thick, and somewhat treble rounded.
They are light and not tight.
When you first put them on the pads begin to adjust, and within 20 mins, you sort of forget they are there...almost.
Very comfortable headband design with the ear pads being quite full and soft.....unique feeling.......ive not felt pads like this before.
If you like the feeling of AKG 701s or Sennheiser HD600s, then you'll find these slightly lighter and equal in comfort.
Whatever musical genre you feed them, they like.
These are really fine Orthos and the look of the headphones is sort of "Apple Mac", in that there is sort of a refined simplicity in the build and the aluminum-magnesium has that Macbook pro color.

I had a bit of trouble finding them so i contacted Sweetwater as i know from previous purchase experience that they will special order anything from their vendors for you if they can, even if they dont actually stock the product.
And so, they did.
I flex-pay'd them, to take a bit of the sting out of the purchase, and WOW........im so glad i took a chance on Steve Guttenberg's Cnet review of these incredible Fostex TH500RP's.
or, this one....
