We all know that the Oppo PM-1 and PM-2 headphones received very impressive reviews around the globe - which is a big success for any company. Now, they have announced the introduction of their newest model, the PM-3 Planar Magnetic Headphones.
These new headphones combine the 55mm planar magnetic driver developed for their previous PM-1 model, an elegant style, noise isolation and portability in a sleek and lightweight design. For this model, they decided to go with a closed-back to provide isolation from outside noise while avoiding sound leakage from the headphones. According to the company, the PM-3 is the world's lightest closed-back planar magnetic headphones ever built making them ideal for people traveling or for long listening sessions.
This is what Oppo had to say about how planar magnetic technology works:
"In the PM-3's planar magnetic driver, sound is generated by a very thin and light diaphragm which is driven in a symmetric pull-push manner, and the magnetic system and conductor patterns have been optimized for maximum sensitivity and consistency. This allows the diaphragm to generate very stable and linear piston-like vibrations, ensuring phase coherence and high resolution performance with minimal distortion." - Oppo Digital
