PM3 should have a sizable amount of hard-hitting bass (lots more than PM-1 or 2). Talking about an ~8dB boost around 20Hz that decreases in a linear fashion until it baselines with the rest of the spectrum around 200Hz. If you don't hear this, it's either you're not getting a good seal (seal is critical on these, and I really want to emphasis this - even glasses can ruin it, maybe even too much hair for all I know), you're used to super bass heavy products, or there's some sort of product variation or possible defect to consider.
I'll have a full review and measurements up within a week or two. But initial impressions are very favorable. Does the bass-heavy, on-the-go sound right, IMO. Bass emphasis is as I mentioned a bit ago and there's a touch extra in the upper-mids and treble, but tastefully so. It's smooth and cohesive and not aggressive, grainy, or too fatiguing. I can handle the very slight upper-mid/treble emphasis, and in that case, most others should be able to as well. This is coming from a guy that often finds things brighter sounding than most. PM3 is clean, clear, fast, relatively smooth, tuned right for its purpose, etc. Good stuff. More to come later. Can answer questions in the meantime, though.
