Title: FS: Oppo PM-3 Headphones
Post by: OldiesButGoodies on August 19, 2016, 08:54:31 AM: $300 - like new, only 5 weeks old. One of the best planar magnetic cans out there at this price. Price is firm.

Thanks

Just going upmarket in the can and headphone amp world, like into the $700 range for the cans, sticking with planar magnetic drivers. For 300 this is as good as it gets IMO.

Compared them against the entry level Audeze and like these better for half the price

You ever hear Audeze LCD-2. Have a pair of these, wonder how the PM-2s compare. The LCD-2 are big and heavy, but sound great.
