About the PM3
The OPPO PM-3 is a lightweight, closed-back planar magnetic headphone engineered for portability and high-fidelity sound. It features a unique 55mm round planar magnetic driver derived from OPPO’s flagship PM-1, utilizing a seven-layer double-sided voice coil diaphragm and a FEM-optimized neodymium magnet system for high sensitivity and low distortion. The PM-3 is designed to be easily driven by smartphones and portable music players, offering excellent noise isolation and comfort for long listening sessions. Its sound signature is balanced, with a slight bass lift to compensate for the masking effect of ambient noise, and careful tuning to avoid harshness in the upper midrange.
