Today we were very lucky to hear the OPPO PM-1\u00a0Planar Magnetic Headphones<\/strong> for the first time and even before opening the box I was very impressed! Usually when a set of Headphones<\/strong> arrive they are in a box just big enough to carry the items, however this was not the case with the PM-1’s<\/strong>. The box the OPPO PM-1’s<\/strong> arrived in was mammoth in comparison with other Headphones<\/strong> we see day-in and day-out, so mammoth that I could sit a small subwoofer in it!<\/p>\n

Once we had we opened the shipping packaging I was yet again surprised with another box inside that holds yet another box and the soft carry case , making unpacking the OPPO PM-1’s<\/strong> almost like a fun game of pass the parcel. The box inside OPPO<\/strong> packaging was covered in what looked and felt like tweed, inside this grey tweed feeling box was a sturdy dark\u00a0lacquered wooden box or chest, as at this stage it was like I had finally found a hidden treasure and these Headphones<\/strong> are definitely a beautiful treasure of sorts!<\/p>\n

Inside this dark\u00a0lacquered wooden chest are the OPPO PM-1 Headphones<\/strong>, but before I start onto them I have to finish ranting on about the wooden chest! The\u00a0lacquered finish is so beautiful that I would happily have it on display if I didn’t have kids, in saying that I would most likely get a display stand for it in my office or lounge. The quality doesn’t stop once you open the wooden chest, inside it is covered with a\u00a0supple leather making the chest a beautiful display piece on its own!<\/p>\n

Now onto the OPPO PM-1’s<\/strong> themselves!<\/p>\n

The design of the OPPO PM-1 Headphones<\/strong> are nice and simple to the eye, which is something I am a big fan of. With solid feeling ear cups, a nice soft leather headband and ear pads I found them to be very comfortable and could easily use them for long periods of time. Even the the\u00a0polished aluminum finishing strips scream subtle and class but not in your face look at me, look at me!<\/p>\n

Now for the specifications!<\/p>\n
