This guys a badassOrdered. I'll get them in a couple days. It will be interesting to hear how drastically these have changed after 1 or 2 revisions.

I ordered a pair and they will be here on Friday. I plan on comparing them to my T1.
Bless you!
Very much looking forwards to your impressions. I am looking for a nice planar to compliment my T1s, but don't want just more of the same sound.
New review : http://andreweverard.com/2014/04/23/review-oppo-pm-1-headphones/
"These are by some way the most open and airy headphones I have encountered, and with a good recording deliver a completely ‘out of the head’ experience that’s almost uncanny."
Yeah I can explain it. Perhaps you could purchase a current production version, run it in for a while, spend some time with it, and then make your bold predictions of it being one of the top overrated headphones
The PM-1's on the other hand seemed to have been found guilty until proven innocent.
I know exactly why; I'm one of the HE560 tester/reviewers and so I have a pretty good idea of what's different between the PM1 reception and HE560 reception.
The difference is in how the testers/reviewers "fed" information to the Head-fi masses.
If you take at look at the first post of the HE560 thread I made, as well as skim through the first...oh 15-20 pages, you'll see that myself and the couple others who are testers tried to give AS comprehensive and objective coverage as possible, I was bombarded with questions for days, and tried to answer all of them to the best of my extent. Also compiled them into coherent impressions/review in the first post afterward. That more or less sated the folks and everyone was happy.
The PM1 thing, on the other hand...literally every beta tester / reviewer was tightlipped initially, except maybe @bigshot
, and the unfortunate thing is, bigshot is a speaker guy with a very, VERY different background to this hobby than almost everyone else here, so even though he tried his best answering all the inquiries and filling up information, people had a tough time relating to his thought process, or even in some cases believing him. Doubt/suspicion turned to hostility (there have been more than 1 moderator wipes here already). That basically put a sour mood on everything PM1-related since then.
That's just my observation.
very nice setupI ordered a pair and they will be here on Friday. I plan on comparing them to my T1.

Now as for sound. For me personally, they are too dark and rolled off on the high end...
Thanks for posting the link.
This was an interesting quote from the review:
I don't think I have read anyone's impressions saying that they are "open and airy".
THAT Is because Everyone Hears Differently.
At some point, that wipes out the value of pretty much any review, and also makes it hard to challenge what has actually been heard - the result is too many naked emperors...
Does Oppo sell direct only?
