This album sounds most excellent with the PM-3. It's lacking a bit of air, but otherwise it has great timbre and awesome imaging.

This is a Chesky Records recording, so it's of high quality.

I would love to try the PM-3. But… unfortunately the pricing is a bit weird here (Sweden). I see people saying that USD400 is a bit much. Well, here they're going for close to USD700 . So $400 seems like a bargain to me.

With this price policy, Oppo might have a hard time selling their headphones in Europe. I wanted to try PM-3 but the price difference is too much compared to the US.

Yeah, this really baffled me. How is $399 = $700? They usually just make it equal to like, euro, here in Sweden, so 400 dollars equals 400 euro here, and while that still is a bit more, it's not TWICE as much.. The Audeze EL-8 for example can be found for 850 dollars here in Sweden, sure that's more than $699 dollars, but it's not $399 vs $700.

That's a shame for our European brothers...

...but not the sisters?

 

[lukeap69]

Yeah, them too.

Yeah, I feel bad for them.

I was ready to buy but here in Norway they are 5290 norwegian kroner (703 U.S. dollars)

They could buy from the States though? Use Shipito to forward them. You get to do your own customs declaration with Shipito.

Yeah, that's a whole other league of headphones.. At $399 they're completely great. But at $700, not really.

At $700, just get the PM-2.  :-D

Assuming the PM2 is $700 and not $1100 over there, which is probable.

Wow, you're a genius.
 
Anyway, there's still a price surplus of $130 but if you want PM-3 so badly, you might consider buying from here.

I doubt the price difference is linear.
 

 
Wow, you're a genius.

 
Don't tell anyone, I want people to like me for my body.
