Oppo PM-3 and HA-2: Practical, Affordable, High-End Portable Audio
The HA-2, while not necessary to enjoy the PM-3, does add enough sparkle and fine detail to the sound in all frequency ranges that I think true enthusiasts with the means will be well served purchasing the two together.
As someone who has reviewed literally hundreds of headphones over just the last two years, it’s been some time since I’ve been this excited about a new product. While I love sitting at home with a gorgeous high-impedance (and high priced) headphone, the pragmatist in me is even more excited when I can take some of that quality with me. The PM-3 made me want to keep them on beyond the review process and just enjoy my music; outside! So on the first day of spring, with a spring in my step, I snagged my iPhone, actually left the house, and did just that.
The Oppo PM-3 and HA-2 are available for $399 and $299, respectively at OppoDigital.com
