I have no idea what planar magnetic means, but it sounds impressive.
How to Geek has a good write up.
TL;DR - it's a different way to make sound waves that can be extremely responsive and low distortion at higher volumes at the expense of weight and a more flat response curve.
Just based on the name, I'd guess headphones with flat magnets. I never knew this was something I needed in my life. I'm tired of those spherical magnets controlling everything!
