I'm hearing the exact opposite.....but hey, to each their own.
So I'm talking about the P3 specifically, if that matters. That said, the P5's are fairly colored as well.

You can have your opinion. But if you share it, expect other different opinions as well.
Certainly no screech or harshness in the Momentum. For that to even be possible, you need at least some upper midrange/lower treble presence
That's fine, but then don't go assuming I'm looking for something and need your advice.
Also you're the only person on headfi who constantly bashes the Momentum - I suggest you find another set and have a proper listen because it's leagues better than the P5.

If Isolation doesn't matter, then go for an open headphone. My personal favorite, the Shure SRH 1840. The Shure SE535 is better than my B&W P5, yet the Shure SRH 1840 annihilates the Shure SE535 in every single way.
I wish I didn't buy the B&W P5 and just went straight to a high-end open headphone like the Shure SRH 1840
But the B&W P5 is good at what it does, it sounds amazing on all music and movies ..... whether is badly recorded or not (headphones like the Shure SE535 can sometimes sound bad on badly recorded music ).
It's better to just take your headphone to a store and test the B&W P5 against your current headphone and see if it's much better
I know. Yet you don't stop bashing it. Sheesh.
I'm done with you and your ridiculously over-exaggerated opinions.
Instead of actually read what I wrote, taking my opinions/advice and having a taste of your own medicine, you divert the attention away from the topic of headphones into some sort of immature argument. Good job.
Learn to read....please?
I listened to both the P3 and the P5 in an Apple Store today and the P3 was obviously better.
No way mate. I did the same comparison and the difference in overall SQ between the 2 is really huge. In favor of the P5 of course...

Same impression I had at the Apple store. The 5s are better than the 3s. Value wise, you are paying above their performance IMO. For $300, I expected a bit more but they aren't a bad listen. Getting them for $220 made it more in line with their performance. They are comfy.
