I am a very satisfied owner of the PM3 myself, I was glad finding it a year ago after a long search. Now what? Should I resume search when my headphone wears ou

  Maybe! Or maybe just wait - one thing we know is that technology will continue to improve, and there may be a headphone in the future that appeals to you even more by the time your PM3 gives out. ... Or maybe it's worth buying a reserve just as an investment. Some people regarded the PM-3 as one of the best value closed-back headphones on the market now[1][2]; there's a chance it may increase in price?

  It's a good question - I don't think there's a currently a competing headphone in it's category (Portable, closed back Planar Magnetic driver) that's been as well received, other than perhaps the more expensive Audeze Sine. The main thing I'm worried about is the ear pads perishing over time - replacements will be quite difficult to find I think, once Oppo close up shop.
