Where is that guy now who said they were horrible and should have never been made?
Silent as the grave.

Can you keep this thread to impressions?
Tyll prefers the sound of the PM1s slightly to that the LCD2s, which is fine - preference is a very individual thing.
But:
"[COLOR=333333]
The Oppo Digital PM-1 is a gorgeous luxury general purpose headphone ideal for the well healed audiophile looking for a polite, juicy, laid-back sound." And he's included them b/c of "
slightly better sound, to [his[ ears, and significantly superior ergonomics and styling", even though "[/COLOR][COLOR=FF0000]
they fall short of reference quality[/COLOR][COLOR=333333]". [/COLOR]
Pretty much what a lot of people, including myself, have said. [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]He's also mentioned that they have rolled off treble, which, funnily, so many of the initial posters, esp the beta testers, were steadfastly denying in the early posts.[/COLOR]
So atleast now people reading this thread will be able to figure out which impressions/reviews are more reliable.
