I have available a ZMF Verite Blackwood.
This was purchased straight from ZMF this last Hot Cup Summer.
This comes with all black for that awesome dark look. The blackwood looks almost black in the right light. Classy and understated. This comes with both XLR and 1/4" cables, and three extra sets of pads, including a BrainWaves pad (the stock pads are on it right now).
Asking price includes insured shipping and Paypal fee.

This has been my favorite headphone for several months. Definitely my favorite ZMF, I prefer it to the Atrium and Caldera, and especially to the Verite Closed. Easily outresolves the Atrium ime on things like trumpets which need some bite but get smoothed out on the Atrium. A lot of people say that the Verite Closed is awesomely warm and bassy. I do not find that to be the case, I find the Verite Closed to be extremely treble-oriented and lacking impact. I find the Verite Open to be the warm and bassy one of the two. This was my recent experience at CanJam SoCal. I find the VO also fits on my head the best. For some reason the Atrium and Caldera doesn't sit quite right on my head.
The tuning really hits a sweet spot for me. Darker/Warmer than the Atrium, but brighter than the Dark-Tuned RAD-0. I think this headphone really excels at vocals, an incredible clarity for vocals. With a tube amp, I actually feel that this headphone outresolves TOTL planars in some ways. I was using only planars for a long time, then when I heard this headphone it elucidated me than perhaps planar is not the best technology for headphones in all respects. In particular it is excellent for vocals. The speed, incisiveness, and slight warmth make it great for metal too. Excellent for Babymetal. Like most dynamics it rolls off in the subbass though.
It has some awesome spatial effects going on and sometimes sound come from far outside the cups. Again, this works well with vocal harmonies.
I thought this one might be a keeper, but I am selling this headphone since I already sold the Nautilus I was using it with, and have no plans to own a TOTL tube amp again anytime soon. Selling basically all of my gear (again) actually.

Asking price includes insured shipping and Paypal fee.
I am hoping for cash but open to trade offers, or best offers.

Thanks for reading.
