If you saw my post above, they are VERY different ha! Don't fault me for liking the S-018 for what it is. (Plus I am not alone in enjoying them).
The Puro IEM500 is a whole other animal. Like I've mentioned it is quick, accurate and MUCH more detailed. I really wish more people would try them, then they could hear what I am talking about.
Only other member that I know that has them said:

Totally agree with everything in your review- these things sound fantastic. It's pretty amazing how the details come through while having such prominent mid and sub bass. Although I got mine for $50 I'd still pay $100 if I hadn't known they were once that cheap, lol. Glad to see I'm not the only one who got a pair! "
Don't worry I get you. I'm just kidding with you
I'm seriously interested in them from your description, to bad they're so hard to get a hold of outside the US.
