So anyone heard of these yet? Rumor has it the sound quality is better than P5 and the bass is very sweet. Size is smaller than the big brother and they can be folded into smaller size for dragging along?

Engadget has a few details on these. They'll be cheaper than the P5. Hopefully the same drivers, or maybe even better if the TC is right.

They look good. I didn't get impressed with the P5, so I hope these are better :)

Hmm, there is another thread going on in the full size forums. These are noticeably portable though. Perhaps the full size thread should be merged into this one.

Yes they are smaller than the P5's. I'm surprised you guys don't know these things . . . all you have to do is read the official site for the P3's and look at reviews for them on the internet and they will tell you.

But do someone know the exact measurements of the pads?

Yeah but you said it with a question mark at the end like it was a question.
