  3. State Of The Flagships

    We are trying hard not to make orange juice. Take the hint? S-l-o-w d-o-w-n...

    Channelling Jules:

    "There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you." Now... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You'd be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd."

    Heres a better picture, what are the green and yellow coming from the monsters?

    Or buy another cable headphone?

    Just not Monster or their cables, neither are pet dog proof

    Doubtful if cats would bother

    You've proved this to you already

    We already knew

    Godzilla only has the Monster cable

    Everything else is fraud

    NOooooo!

    My X1's only got a D, 6/9, 66.7% pass rating!?

    But I still think they sound good so what the heck?

    Maybe author should have included a on ear critical listening grading too? Or maybe that would be subjective and tests were all objective in measuring only.

    Still very interesting to read all the headphones reviewed by author though :)

    But what a rabbit hole!

    They sounded pretty good to me on short listen.

    And yes, portable orthos are coming. Keep your eye out.

    Hi Tyll!

    I first knew of the PM3 from your CanJam video of these on your site and I'm so glad you made it as I'm so excited about these headphones as they cover so many bases for me personally.

    I'm in the market for portable headphones, I really want some hi-fidelity sound quality that planar's offer, sealed back makes perfect sense for portables and I can't afford another amplifier than my current one but apparently these hp's don't necessarily require one for sounding good, so I'm really appreciating the release of these and just hope they aren't going to be too expensive to buy out of my Christmas money as I hear these are due for release early 2015?

    But I wonder what other planar manufacturers are going to be coming out with too as you tease with "portable orthos are coming"!

    Please tell us more?

    I know you know new stuff first!

    They sounded good to me as well.

    I will order them as soon as they are available.

    Awesome!

    This is the one true portable ortho:

    Runner up the YHD series.

    There are plenty of orthos small enough to be considered portable. They just haven't been produced for > 20 years.

    I never knew this!

    They look like Ultrasones. 

    Which reminds me, I once combined a set of Ultrasone HFI-780 with SFI ortho drivers.

    I'd love the PM3's gifted to me for Christmas (providing they include sticky tape to protect the glossy cups - lol)

    Portable planar's look to be a new emerging market so I think that's quite an exciting prospect to see if other manufacturers follow, maybe?

    But those hi-gloss outer ear cups?

    Just waiting to be scratched, whoever thought shiny ear cups were a good idea for a portable hi-end HP, clearly doesn't have OCD or even common sense.

    So Oppo are following up the release of their PM1 & PM2 planar's with the 2015 release of the PM3 which is a closed back portable planar with high sensitivity that Oppo claim will run directly from your DAP.

    I'm not totally sure, but this maybe the first portable planar ever or if not maybe for a long time.

    TYLL Hertsens has a video interview with a guy from Oppo on his innerfidelity site that you may like to check, but looks like planar manufacturers are really looking to push the envelope with this type of driver technology.
