But speaking of AKG, do you recall that AKG patented some really interesting orthos that never got produced?
They made very clear in the K1000 brochure currently available on wiki that ortho designs with neo magnets were bound to fail in their opinion due to excessive weight. It's equally clear to me that they were entirely right when I see +500g neo-orthos(and up to 650g lol) without a double headband which would be a major no-go to me, it's only now that they are finally using proper HP1'esque headbands with the HE400i/HE560 duh. OTOH, Oppo prefered to build a highly effective dual-sided diaphragm and the weight of the PM3 is in the 350g region IIRC.
