PMV PP

Not worth it.

Lack of punch. Boring extremely. More detailed and dinamic range at lower prices. Don't buy it. NF Audio NM2 is still absolutely much better in every possible way. Even more detailed. Punchy, fun. I returned the PP Linsoul only refund 66% of the price. Not fair. Watch it.

Very Impressive

The PMV PP earphones are my second pair of planar magnetic earphones as I already own the Tin Hifi P1s. While all reviews are by their nature subjective, here are my impressions having owned and used them for a few weeks. The shells are made of metal and are nicely finished with the blue colour a little darker than shown in the photographs. The supplied cable is very good quality and is terminated with a 3.5 mm single ended connector. All the connectors and splitter have metal shells and the cable is very flexible with little or no microphonics. Also supplied is a hard case with a zipper to store the earphones when not in use. A reasonable selection of tips is also supplied. Planar magnetics have a reputation for being inefficient and needing a lot of power to drive to a reasonable volume. Not so the PMV PPs, although they certainly benefit from having a good quality source such as a dedicated digital audio player rather than just powering them from a smartphone. Now onto the most important factor – what do they sound like? I don’t obsess over frequency response charts and technical details; the quality of the sound is what matters. They have a good bass response which is well controlled so there is no boominess. The high frequencies are also well controlled so there is no harshness when listening to high notes on the piano for instance. The sound stage is good and details are well resolved. I mainly listen to classical music and whether a single instrument or a full orchestra, the PMV PPs perform well. Overall, the sound is full and rich and gives an immersive and atmospheric experience. If the price is in your budget range, then the PMV PPs should certainly be on your short list.

Tin P1's too hard to drive? Love the planar detail, but longing for the planar BASS? Get these.

The PMV PP's are kinda like the polar opposite of what the Tin P1's are: Bass-heads rejoice! They've got dark, thick and detailed BASS, with width and soundstage to spread it all out, and just enough brightness and warmth to make it all nice and cozy without blinding your earballs. Excellent package for the price!
