Great news. The price is very good as well.
Yes, that's like getting the PM-1 without the fancy extras, for only $499.

Why? Because it made every other pair of headphones you owned sound bad?Buying this HP was one of my biggest regrets.

It’s a fact that the frequency response of the PM-2 is slightly curtailed in the extreme upper frequencies. It’s well known for that.Sadly no... I had a PM3 then which lacked in treble but had great bass. Everyone said back then how PM-2 was much better. When I got PM-2, I found that it sounded worse than PM-3 for me. The bass was lacking, the dynamics were worse... Treble was more extended but it was not spectacular either. I understand some people like it but PM-2 was just not for me.

BUT I find it a great ‘tonic’ for my other ‘phones when I want/need a more laid-back presentation.
Yes, the PM-2 aren’t perfect. But neither are ANY set you can buy.
I think that's a very good point. I suppose we are all too often expecting to be "entertained" by a headphone rather than letting it be just the messenger.Still, I suspect most people who don't find the PM-1/PM-2 attractive, are accustomed to a sound that's overly energetic in the bass (LCD-2) or excessively bright (HD800) or more coarse in texture (DT880), etc. If the PM-1/PM-2 is found lacking, I submit that it's primarily due to it injecting no personality of its own. It's almost too transparent. .
The PM-2’s are just supremely easy to listen to, without the ‘extremes’ of my other sets of cans.I got the PM-2 today. Nice to have them again. I sold my PM-1 about a year ago while going down the rabbit hole in the quest for the ultimate headphone that does not exist. I regretted it when the news came that OPPO was getting out of the business. So I'm glad to have the PM-2.
