Astonishingly good sound quality for the price. Best closed back headphone we have used. Sensitive enough to be used directly with a smartphone, yet excels with quality amplification,
Not a completely neutral analytical headphone. Competing open-back planar magnetics like the Hifiman HE-400i still resolve more detail and three dimensionality to the sound,
We recently gave another Oppo product, the HA-2, perfect marks, so to do so again seems odd. Yet I feel even stronger about the Oppo PM-3's perfect score than I do about the excellent HA-2. The Oppo PM-3 planar magnetic headphones are scary good. Previous...
Low-distortion planar magnetic technology, Upscale build, Portable and lightweight, Good sound isolation,
Fits some testers a bit snugly
Luxurious headphones with gorgeous sound can cost $1,000 or more, but not the Oppo PM-3. Oppo somehow manages to offer sumptuous titanium headphones with top-of-the-line planar magnetic drivers for $400, and experts are blown away by the result. The plus...
Abstract: The Oppo PM-3 is a basic planar-magnetic closed-back headphone with a price of $399. Here at MahorHifi, we see a lot of people asking about this particular model, and one recently found its way to my review desk. So without any further delay, here's our...
Lightest planar magnetic cans you can find, Understated, handsome design, Sound that's rich on detail and easy to love
Uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time, Struggle with some genres of music
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...
Abstract: We've reviewed a bunch of headphones over the years, and what they all had in common were traditional, commonly used voice coil dynamic drivers as a means of producing sound. But very few headphones use a driver technology that's called "planar magnetic d...
Incredibly rich detail as you'd expect from the best planar magnetic headphones you've heard, The closedback design makes these your goto headphone while out on walks or in the office, Flat frequency response, not weighted toward any particular area of th
A bit of a tight fit, especially as the headphones are being broken in, It's a natural tradeoff in design but a closed back build means a slightly narrower soundstage than we'd like
The OPPO PM-3 headphones are a rather remarkable accomplishment. Using a driver technology that, until recently, was reserved exclusively for the most expensive audiophile headphones out there, OPPO has brought to market an exceptionally great sounding pa...
I don't think I've ever had a headphone come through the lab ticking so many boxes so confidently. Sound quality, styling, comfort, build quality, isolation, and accessorization are all very well executed for this price. The Oppo PM-3 may be the most well...
The Oppo PM-3 is an affordable planar magnetic headphone that's well-built, attractively designed, relatively comfortable, and optimized for use with mobile devices. The headphones deliver high-fidelity sound and come with a nice carrying case as well as
Reveals flaws in poorly recorded or grittier sounding tracks (plays best with lossless/high-resolution files), fits a little snugly
The Oppo PM-3 is an impressive headphone -- both in terms of build and sound quality -- but just how impressive you think it is will depend on what music you feed it and from what source....

OPPO's HA-2 is very impressive for the money, truly it is. I found nothing offensive and enjoyed many hours of music through it. When combined with the OPPO PM-3, it is perhaps the best value for your money within the market today at just under $700. They...
