I'll be back in the 626 in a couple of weeks. If you want to try both the sz2k and the pm3, we can arrange a meet up

New to the forum, really interested in these headphones. Does anybody know where I could find a pair in white for sale in the US? I've tried all the online sites I can think of any the only place I found them was on eBay from Hong Kong which I don't trust.

Welcome to the forum. You can buy them direct from Oppo at oppodigital.com and they have great customer service as well.

I checked there but they are showing the white as out of stock unfortunately.

I'd say that's your best bet. Contact customer service and let them know you're interested in buying a set and I bet they'll give you an ETA of new stock. Good luck!

Buy refurbished directly from OPPO. Save the 20%. It is basically brand new set. Well worth it. They are outstanding cans.

 Replacement earpads on Amazon, says work on all models of Oppo https://www.amazon.co.uk/NSEN-Replacement-Lambskin-Cushions-Headphones/dp/B01HRT4FMU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1472627274&sr=8-3&keywords=oppo+pm%3D2

Interesting. Narrower opening like on the PM-1 and PM2. I wonder if narrower openings will mean more bass on the PM-3 perhaps.
 

 How is the bass on these compared to say Denon AH-D600?

No comparison. The highs are actually quite similar, no obvious peaks but overall a little too bright. Both have good mids, the Oppo is better there. Bass difference is huge in my opinion, the Denon have a little too much for even a 'bass-head' like me. It's amazing for a few minutes but just overwhelms eventually. Oppo bass is fast, and tight, just not quite enough for me, especially lower subs.

I doubt those pads will fit the PM-3....the attachment points are completely different to the PM-1\2

Thanks. Oh well, there goes that idea. :|

Just received my pm-3s last week... Is anyone else getting really sore ears?
I think the pads are a bit too small so my ears are terribly sore after 15 minutes. By the looks of it Oppo have no immediate plans to offer a remedy so there arent any options but selling them - which would suck because I really like them.

Also, i bought a ha-2 expecting a big difference over just running it through my lg v-10 phone (which also has a DAC) but its pretty much the same as far as I can tell. Could I be doing something wrong or were my expectations just too high?

 

[sabloke]

Stretch them a bit to reduce clamping force and you'll be fine.

  Thanks everyone for the welcome!
 
One other question: Do you guys recommend or know about any third-party cables that's compatible with the PM-3s? I contacted Oppo's customer service about getting an additional 3m cable, but then don't sell it. So I'm looking for another one. Looks like it needs to be very slim...
 
Cheers!

I just ordered a custom version of their PM-3 Cardas cable..     https://www.dysonaudio.com  
I sent them a question from their web page form and got a response within 5 minutes. Maybe I got lucky as it is a one man operation. They also have a universal silver cable that has to have different plugs to use with the PM-3 that might be an interesting addition to the cable collection.
