Has anyone compared these to the Oppo PM-3? I have the 1770's on order from Amazon, as I got in on the 20% off deal on BF. Still haven't shipped. Was planning on getting the PM-3's before I saw the 1770 deal which made them much closer in price. I realize this may be apples to oranges in some respects, but I simply want a nice upgrade from my M50's.
I use an iPhone 6, iPod Classic and now my new AK JR. Also have a Fiio EK12a.
Wondering if I should go back and get the PM-3's.

I own both. Did you have a specific question?
A quick comparison:
The PM-3s are more of a portable closed back headphone that has a warmer sound signature with slight roll off at each end of the spectrum. They isolate better than the DT1770. Also they fold down and fit in my backpack. I use them for airplanes and work.
The DT1770 has less roll off than the PM3 with a more V-shape signature. They have a wider sound stage. I would not recommend for portable use because the case is too big. I use these at home, when there is too much noise in the background. (LCD-X when the house is calm)
I find both sets comfortable and enjoy both.
Hope this helps.

If you take this case for ~25 €/USD it is very portable and in my backpack every day when I ride my bicycle to work or in my luggage when I travel.
It is from Beyerdynamic and fits all DT series cans plus T1,T5p, T70, T90.
Offtop: After hesitatings, I finally decided to take T1 V2 over DT1770. These are fenomenal. Over.
I decided to return to Amazon my DT-1770. As I use them on the go they there come crackling sounds from the plastic cups and it's really annoying. Already ordered new DT-1770 to check if it's a common problem or it's only my pair. Anyway it's a bit frustrating to observe such quality issues with a respectable German brand like Beyerdynamic is.
