OPPO PM-1 Headphones

Planar magnetic drivers use a thin, flexible diaphragm suspended in a magnetic field to produce sound. This design typically results in lower distortion and a faster, more detailed response compared to traditional dynamic drivers, giving the PM-1 its signature open and airy sound.

While the PM-1 is designed with high electrical efficiency and a 32-ohm impedance, making it easier to drive than many planar models, you will still get the best performance by pairing it with a quality DAC or amplifier to fully realize its sonic potential.

Yes. The PM-1 is notably lighter than many other planar magnetic headphones, weighing in at 395 grams. This reduced weight, combined with the ergonomic design, makes them comfortable enough for extended periods of use.

Yes, the open-back design allows sound to pass through the ear cups, which creates a wider soundstage but also means there is significant sound leakage. These are best suited for quiet, private environments rather than public spaces or offices.

The PM-1 is characterized by accurate tonal reproduction and a smooth, extended upper register. It avoids the harshness sometimes found in high-end headphones, offering a refined and balanced presentation that reveals subtle details in your music.
