" ...  OPPO pm3 sounds great.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I find that boosting the gain on the HA-2 is essential to the listening experience. ... Although the sound quality is not quite at the level of my old Sennheiser HD-580s, that is to be expected ... it's part of the tradeoff of sound quality vs. isolation when choosing a closed-back set of cans over an open-back. ... Although the PM-3s are fine connected directly to the music source, most of my listening is via the HA-2.  ...  "

" ...  If you are looking for clear and natural sound, comfortable fit and non usual technology - your are on the right way reading my review about those Headphones.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I demoed a few other brands in this price range and sometimes felt unpleasant boomy pressure.  ...  "
comment
" ...  But why can't I change my own ear pads? ... Or a bigger cup for my awkward sticky-outy ears?  ...  "
comment
" ...  These cans are nice featuring comfortable ear padding, a satisfying headband adjustment (nice clicking sound) that stays put, although having etches or visual indications on the headband would have been nice, taking the guess work out of adjusting the headphones to my preference before each use.  ...  "
comment
" ...  More comfortable too.  ...  "
comment
" ...  They are fine for travel though with their folding ear cups and case. ... I found the cup size fit my ear- the first question in the "Questions" section above. ... I find The Opposite PM-3 easy to wear, comfortable and relatively light. ... They are very comfortable, I have worn them for the past 3 hours prior to writing this. ... Comfort is critical in a headphone as no matter how good the sound is, if you can't wear them- they get dusty.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I really liked the design of the white blue Lola's and found them to be the most comfortable headphones I've worn. ... The pm-3 is comfortable, just not as comfortable.  ...  "

" ...  I needed the bass to be s but more pronounced.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I'm constantly out of the house, and I like the bass response and level of detail in vocals with these headphones. ... The song has sharp, very precise, and quick attack on bass that I don't get to appreciate with my v-moda M-100's, while I have an even better comfort level and build quality, which is insane.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Not only is the bass deep on these headphones but its detailed, kept in check, and not overly boomy.  ...  "
comment
" ...  not only the bass but overall crystal clear sound is simply excellent.  ...  "
comment
" ...  And the bass on the PM-s is so precise, no muddying no overshadowing any other frequencies.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The sound quality is slightly north of neutral or natural as there is oomph to the bass extension as well as the treble. ... If you are a total "Bass Hesd" or enjoy Beats, Oppo may not be for you. ... There is plentiful bass, mids & highs if they are in the music- the PM-3 will play it. ... They also seem slightly bass elevated to me but that is my subjective opinion.  ...  "
comment
" ...  My main concern is the bass, bass extension it's not very deep and these are very neutral.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I personally enjoy trebles and mids (although I certainly can appreciate good bass) and I am usually used to and submit myself to trade offs when buying IEM's or other headphones that are within the $100-$400 range. ... These headphones have NO trade offs The treble is clear, the mids are vibrant, and the bass is intoxicating.  ...  "

" ...  I opened it to find a compact rigid denim like case with the headphones folded to their sides. ... The headphones is handsomely designed with black brushed aluminum covering the sides of the ear cups, constructed of high impact plastic, steel arms and synthetic leather covers the headband and ear cups. ... The build seems solid.  ...  "

" ...  They are nicely made.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The only thing I didn't love is the synthetic leather pads, but they feel great. ... They come with a carrying case and a nice audio cable, and the phones fold nicely into the case. ... They also come packaged in a premium-feeling case, but that really doesn't serve much purpose.  ...  "
