I notice some people here refer to soundstage in a wrong way, confusing it with the size of sound image/sound Picture.
on mt220 sound image is smaller than on dt150,
dt150 have huge sound Picture! On mt220 sound Picture is of a normal size... not big not small,normal.
I define soundstage as placement of different sound images in a sound Picture, space between them , its not only about pinpoint wheres the drums , wheres piano and wheres guitar for example, its also "hear" the space between all those instruments and get a feeling of the room/scene where musical instruments are placed.
The size of those instruments/stage/space between them is what i mean by the " size of sound Picture"
on mt220 soundstage depends alot on pads, with stock pads all is narrow , you dont sit a few raws back as with dt150, not even in a front raw, you actualy on the stage with musicians, dancing grabing their intrumets, you in the middle of the scene...
on stock pads sound is very forward and vocals presented kind of in your face...
all this things about mt220 were very anoying at first, and it felt strange and unnatural to me...
Now i kind of like it
Got to say, straight of the box and for a while i thought mt220 is a smooth headphone , creamy and polite. with lots of low end...
Now after it burned in, sonic character changed!
Theres no creamy smooth mids that at times sound mudddy.
Now sound is agile , fast and punchy , with lots of Deep tight low end, mids are clear but not Bright or thin , mt220 has interesting balance of being neither Bright or dark, sound thick and detailed wihtout making it too obvious and screaming at you " look at me look at me" with all the details..
When i listen to metallica - sweet amber , i felt like theres small pieces of metal that shakling in headphones cups, once the cymbals kicked in, was very realistic but without this "wow" effect lots of headphones go efter...
I Think mt220 is an example of studio sound ,and its definatly a refernce of neutrality for me, i spend 5-8 hours per day, for few month, listening to mt220 at times and i stil cant figure out its character, its change so much with burn in ö.Ö
the only headphone that i spend month to Catch its character was beyerdynamic t5p...
i definetly recomend mt220 , it complements dt150 !
