M2 is going back, T51p and P7 up for sale. This is it guys. I'm done.

That's where I'm at. I've heard most of the phones in this category, and this is easily the best... at least for my taste.

I like that that the bass is more balanced and not excessive, but I might be in the minority these days.

  PM3 have landed at my dealer and are now ordered! 

Where could one order the PM3 online?

Oppo's website...

Oppo's website...

Silly me, I guess that should have been the first place for me to look.

Ok call off the dogs, the search is over

A while back on this thread I said I wanted a mini LCDX in a portable closed back form. I am now wearing it.

The Oppo PM3.

Smooth, fatigue free, luscious mids, good highs. Bass is articulate though perhaps could be a little bigger. And this is out of the box!

Isolateds very well ( better than M2) and seems to have passed the wife test

Luxurious build, light, comfortable

I think this will be the case for many of us. I will have many closed back portable fore sale soon also now that I have the pm-3.

might be good to hold onto a lesser expensive portable, just in case you're in situations where you don't want to break out your most expensive one.

@MacedonianHero - Although it's a pretty heavy set of cans, I'd be interested in knowing the Blue Mo-Fi compares to these other 'phones. I just read your review and was curious how they stacked up!
 
Cheers

While I liked the Mo-Fi's, I wouldn't consider them as "portables". But you can find my review for them here:

Thanks, much appreciated! I'd actually read your review already and was wondering about sonic comparisons to the other phones in this test. I'm a big lad, and have heaved much larger cans around as 'portables' before, so was more interested in how you thought they compared from a musical standpoint.

I also owned them. I think they would overall be upper middle of the pack in sound quality. It is nice because if you think you need a to buy a portable amp with the MOFI you don't. I would actually have to give comparisons strictly from memory, as I returned them. I enjoyed them and thought they were very musical. The design to me was cool and yes they were heavy, but well engineered.

I think sonically, they'd be in the top 1/3rd or so. Quite good actually, but darn big!

Curious about the PM-3, but I remain impressed by the T51i. The only critique I have is that it could have a wider soundstage and poor source material isn't shown much mercy. But for an on-ear not sure there is a better choice for my ears. Over-ear is a different kettle of fish...

I finally get to audition the B&O H6 a couple of days ago, and although I quite like it, I like the PSB M4U1 better....is that weird? The H6 still have...too much bass for my taste. The M4U1 to me sounds like it have a bit of HD800 sound sig.

You're finding the H6s have more bass than the M4U1s?

Not in terms of quantity, but in terms of boomy-ness. To me the M4U1 have cleaner bass than the H6, but both still have just a little bit too much bass for me. Would the Momentum 2 suit me, or does it have equal/more bass than these 2 cans?
