I've been looking at a good pair of headphones for quite some time, and I've narrowed down to two options, the B&W P7 and the OPPO PM-3. My main stipulation is with the ambiguous reviews I've read about the OPPOs leaking sound. Some say it leaks a ton of sound, while others claim that it doesn't leak anything even at uncomfortable volumes. Could anyone who has worn these headphones please clear this up for me? I intend to take these on planes and don't want to misspend $400 on a pair of traveling headphones. Thanks in advance!

It leaks very little in my experience. I use them in an office with three others very close by without bothering anyone.

Yeah, the PM3 is pretty isolating...never had anyone complain when I wore mine in the office either, and I listen fairly loud.  Can't speak for the P7s.

 

[WhiteFang000]

Thank you for your prompt responses! I've quite nearly made up my mind. Will most likely be getting these as soon as humanly possible

They don't leak any kind of sound outside... Even if you're wearing glasses. The P7s having a bigger clamping force can hold themselves tighter in your head. Nevertheless sonically, they're quite opposite one from another, having the P7 a V profile and the PM3 a delicious mid/vocals signature... The latter also benefits from a powerful source in order to show that dry & quick bass it sometimes when not properly fed seems to be rather dull.

Can anyone recommend a good portable AMP for under $100 that works well with these? 
 
EDIT: Actually, a regular-sized AMP at the same price range would work just as well for me.

fiio e18 if you want a dac/amp, fiio e12 for just amp
 
full size would be schiit magni.  would cost a little over $100 with shipping

How is its sound quality compared to Meze 99 and akg k712 pro? Is it different from them?

 

[brugis]

How bout PM3 vs AKG K551?

 

[Ling Vu]

I know this must have been asked a lot and I have read some posts regarding this issue but maybe after a certain period of time things may have gone different. I am in love with the PM 3 for while now, it is being used when commuting and when at home as I already sold the HD650 to fund a new open pair cans, which may be either HD700 or PM-2 (sure) or any other suggestion that fits in the case.

Given the fact that many owners of PM 3 also own the PM2 or auditioned/owned it, how does it sound compare to the PM 2 and the HD700 or even the HD800? Is it really twice as good as the PM 3 in terms of clarity, refinement and soundstage as it is in price?

Thanks,
Linh

I auditioned PM-2 and to be honest didn't like it too much. Its cheaper sibling is much easier to listen to.Funny thing is, when I went to the store to hear PM-3, the shop assistant gave me a pair of PM-2 instead, thinking they're the 3s. I put them on and started listening using a X5 II and I was like, meh... The highs were a bit harsh for my taste but the lows were tight and very nicely defined. After a closer look at the headphones I noticed that it has dual entry... That's when I knew I haven't tried a PM-3

Hey I am buying meze and akg k712 and for 3rd headphone I want something different so oppo pm3 or nighthawks or hifiman he400i?

 

[disastermouse]

How does it compare to audioquest nighthawks? And has anyone tried them with mojo?

I like them better than Nighthawks, though I doubt that I heard the NHs in ideal conditions.
