Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The sound and build of the Oppo PM-3 make the price almost worth it. My reservation has to do it the poor quality padding. Unlike premium models, the pm-3 used faux leather on the ear and head cushion. This faux finish began to peel away a month or two after my warranty expired. While it’s true OPPO has a plan to replace them for under $100, instead of sending a customer the replacement parts that customer has to ship the headset to OPPO for repairs. So, not only does one lose OPPO’s headset for a week or so, OPPO is replacing the rotted items with the same poor quality materials. I had asked if they would allow me to pay for an upgrade to leather, but it was not possible. So, I have just endured years of black vinyl bits sticking to my face every time I listen to my headphones. Sometimes I’ve missed a patch and people thereafter would find it on me and think I was suffering from some kind of skin disease. Ha! I think OPPO should offer a chance for customers to upgrade to a better quality material. Why would I pay the fee to replace poor quality materials that have deteriorated in a year with same again? It would be a vicious and costly cycle just to have to replace them all over every year. In the end, purchasing an OPPO PM-3 headset would require ownership with long term hidden repeating costs that frankly make these great sounding headsets really not worth it.
