You are the first who says that the treble is rough, so yes, there are something with your ears, go to the doctor, or just get some overly congested and dark headphones

I'll try to put it in order as to what caught my attention initially. It might better help explain
Comfortable
Non forcefull sound with boosted bass. Overall smallish sound
Very clean and non resonate but rich. Once again non resonate. I found that to be very important
Majorly recessed midrange but could still see into them just fine because of the lack of resonance
Highs that aren't peaky and pesky. What is this? These highs have got a beautiful sheen to them that is
Very very pleasing to my ears
Detail and overall resolution meh,.....probably a $200 headphone ability but because of what it does
Do it does nicely and the comfort I would buy at $400 and be in love with it. I will not buy if more than that though.
With the Nighthawks I consistently became engrossed in the music, bobbed my head or tapped my foot to the music, and still noticed details in the mids and could thoroughly appreciate great recordings, but it was all about the complete musical experience. That's why I decided that the Nighthawks are correct FOR ME.
NH are interesting, people really like them (like me) or don't like them at all, there is nothing in the middle, is plus or minus for them
I listen to a lot of rock (not metal though) and love the Hawks for rock (and everything else), but that's a hard question to really answer because what is forward to you might not be forward to someone else (or vice versa)
Resistance to / fear of change perhaps? I don't know, but you're right and it's an interesting phenomenon. It's like only one can be right when actually there are lots of different headphones with great characteristics - just depends what you like and what you're looking for.
If you ventured outside of headfi you'd find quite a lot of comments. My ears are actually fine, I can resolve difference in headphones FR. I think it's more your experience level with sound and hifi in general that is preventing you from seprating the differences.
I'd struggle to find headphones as congested as the Nighthawk with the stock ear pads.
I'll make this easier, I really can't be bothered to argue with people that don't have an understanding of headphones, no offence, honestly it's just tiresome.
I'll let you guys get on with it, have a good one!
Easy solution, sell the PM-3, buy the Nighthawk, you're set.
