What do you hear with a mono source equally driving both the

In the center, it sounds like it's in the center, but as soon as you
pan tothe side a little it moves way to the side. It's very much got
a "hole in the center" kind of effect for me.

So this isn't the difference in how the pan circuit or software is
implemented, you're saying this happens consistently with
phones for you?

Right. I hear a hole in the center with the phones.

Assuming I understand what you mean by "a hole in the center", that would
occur if the channels had opposite polarity.

No, it's not THAT dramatic. But I guess it is a step in that direction
compared with the speaker playback.
