This definitely helps, I also read from your post about the difference between Pro and Proline 750, it seems that they are the same, am i correct?

They sound the same, yes. If you are thinking about buying a Proline instead of a Pro because you've found that the Proline is less expensive, I suggest to you that you spend the extra money and buy the Pro instead of the Proline. My reasoning for this is because, it is my understanding that some people had trouble with some of the early models of the Proline 750 in that the paint faded off the headband after minimal handling. Also, there were some other Proline headband problems of a mechanical nature.
One reason I know about these problems is from personal experience. After about 4 months of use, the paint started coming off the headband of my Proline 750. And, to make matters worse, the headband started not maintaining it's position while it was on my head. I reported this problem to Ultrasone and they replaced the headband with another "Proline" marked headband. That replacement headband also had trouble holding it's position while on my head. I'm sure you can imagine how annoying this was when, during a recording session, I had to hold the headphones in place to keep the cups from falling off my ears. I was very pleased with Ultrasone's customer service because when I contacted them the second time to tell them that the replacement "Proline" head band was also malfunctioning, they gave me a new pair of the new model "Pro" 750 headphones. The Pro 750 has functioned well in every respect since that time and it's paint has not faded.
One more comment on the Pro 750 headband: To a minor degree, the Pro 750's headband will fit itself to one's head. If it is too loose to the extent that the headband kind of wiggles around on one's head, after a short while, the wearer will notice that the Pro 750 is fitting snug on their head. This snug but comfortable fit is to accommodate isolation (to a certain extent) and the best possible listening environment.
The placement of the headband on the head is very important for optimum listening enjoyment. If placed improperly on the head the Pro 750's sound is significantly less enjoyable. To some degree this "proper" positioning depends on a number of factors which include the size and shape of the listener's head, the size and shape of their ears and their general perception of sound.
