OPPO PM-1 HI-FI HEADPHONE 2014-2015
They may be the first
headphones from a company with no history in the market but these
open-back, isodynamic designs are a remarkable debut. Painstakingly
engineered, each of the PM1’s planar magnetic drive units features a
seven-layer, yet thin, diaphragm with flat aluminium conductors on both
sides. What’s more, these conductors follow a spiral pattern in a bid to
maximise the spread and evenness of the driving force. It’s a design
that not only saves weight but one that results in a huge leap in
sensitivity compared with rivals. Add hefty yet superbly even bass and a
lusciousness with richly recorded material and the PM-1 can rightly be
described as the most exciting new headphones to have been released this
year.

The Yamaha MCR-232 micro system might
not be the newest kid on the block – you only have to look at its old
Apple 30-pin dock and lack of wireless to see that – but what it lacks
in the latest features, it makes up for with its likeable sound and
affordable price.
Despite its small stature, in terms of scale the Yamaha more than
holds its own against some of the beefier systems around for this
money.
Performance
We start with The Eagles’, and the sublime harmonies of the track fill our testing room with a surprising amount of space and airiness.
It’s a well-balanced listen for the most part too, and despite that
subwoofer output we don’t find ourselves immediately wanting more from
the low-end.
Vocals are clear and Adele’s soulful voice in
shows stacks of detail and emotion. Dynamically it’s strong too, and is
adept at following the ebb and flow of a recording, making it an
exciting listen.
We would still say it falls behind the likes of the for rhythmic timing and dynamic handling, though. It’s good, but it’s not Award-winning.
However its biggest downfall comes from the treble. With a fairly hard-edged recording like Rolling in the Deep, the top-end can easily tip from bright to harsh, particularly at higher volumes.
The punching bassline in Eminem’s
is reproduced with control and agility, and while it might not reach as
low into the bass as rivals, it has much more attack to it, easily
keeping up with the midrange, which is also particularly well handled.
