Just my 2 cents, but based on lots of experience: the ZMF Verite Open is the best "complimentary headphone" I can find to the D8K and the Caldera. You get those classic dynamic driver vs planar driver sonic differences, plus the unique ability of the VO to fully convey the tone and timbre of voices and instruments. My silkwood VO's sound is ravishing, really beautiful.What would you say is the best headphone to complement the D8k OG? I mostly listen to movie soundtracks like hans zimmer or female vocal orchestral music with lots of pianos and string instruments. I thought about the caldera but it seems a little too similar, the elites are another option. I have the atriums but was just wondering whats out there, besides just trying out the D8k LE model.
I love the D8K's sound, especially after I swapped the lousy sounding "F" pads for the Pro's "G" pads. But the cost was some emphasis in the bass & rounding of notes in upper mids/low treble. Can't wait to get my hands on the new "H" pads to see if they're the "Goldilocks" pad for best sound on my D8K. At present my D8K w/"G" pads is getting somewhat overshadowed by the Caldera (which is beyond excellent in every way)--but if the "H" pads do the trick, I might have a real horse race between the Caldera and D8K.
