After playing some YouTube reviews, I am beginning to think that the HPH-PRO500 is an international model, while the PRO 500 is a US model. The PRO 500 reviewed on YouTube is reported to favor midrange and slightly lack a little in the extreme ends of the spectrum. The YouTube reviews of the HPH-MT220 basicly suggests bass you can feel without overemphasis and treble so strong that "S" sounds sometimes are a little strong, and no emphasis in the midrange. I can't find any new PRO 500 to try from a retailor I have trusted, so I don't think I will be trying them just to send them back. Besides, the HPH-MT220s were within my price range, so I think I am going to put further headphones investigation to rest and give my final expopionion about the HPH-MT220. Now that I finally started listening to my music collection, TV show collection, and movie collection on/with them, I will say that I hear a small emphasis on midrange, but great coverage as low as between 10Hz and 15Hz, and as high as 17KHz. While I would like no emphasis or underemphosis on anything, I think almost every make and model will have that issue. In fact, my NSAP5700BLF speakers have a little underemphosis between 30Hz and 50Hz (I call it a hole), and they have been my reference speakers for years. So I think I'll start getting used to my HPH-MT220s.
If I am going to quickly break them in by having them playing when unattended, should I use white noise, pink noise, or brown/red noise? Thanks.
