My Auteurs arrived today! This my first pair of ZMF and now I understand what all the hype is about. They're really a work of art and I hope to have them for a lifetime.
There is nothing like a ZMF headphone. Congrats and enjoy!

So beautiful. Mango is really a special wood!

I love the look of the mango with the yellow strap and grill cloth!

When I first ordered the Auteur, I expected them to compliment my HE1000 Stealth for when I wanted more chill, easy listening. But I'm actually shocked at how good the Auteurs are, and I'm not sure how often I'm going to be reaching for the HE1000s.

The Auteurs have a "sweetness" (is that the right word?) to vocals and the sound in general that makes the HE1000s feel thin and cold in comparison. Makes you want to just keep listening and listening..

Haha that’s actually really validating for me! I find the Auteurs are all I need for 90% of the music I listen to. The other 10% is orchestral music, stuff that just sounds better with a thinner, leaner sound like the one that my modded 8XX gives. I’ve heard the 1000SE and agree completely that it fits into that category and use case.

Enjoy the sweetness!

What’s funny is I use my Auteurs for almost exclusively orchestral music, and my Atrium Closed for everything else. That said, Auteur was my only pair of headphones for a long time and was excellent with all types of music.

I received my Mango Auteur Classic this past weekend as well. I can see what people are saying about Auteur Classic when it comes to female vocals. I’ve been enjoying 90s R&B with it so far. The Auteur Classic pairs so well with my iBasso D16/PB5 stack.
