I will be in the area of New York and Washington, D.C. from the 8th-18th of December. Is there any chance to listen to the ZMF headphones during that time period? Any known shops that offer listening sessions? Over here in Germany it is basically impossible to listen to these headphones, thus I...

What PinkyPowers says. I am in love with the sounds of these cans and the Brainwavz are essential for me to enjoy longer listening sessions. They do alter the sound, but not by a lot and with some EQ tweaks, it can be easily solved.

This thread does not need to die out until October! What are your favorite dac/amps for the t50rp mk2? What will you power these cans with, come October?

Interesting that you chose the Velour pads. They would certainly add a different flavor to the sound signature than my sheepskin leather pads. Still looks great! :)

Time for an update on my side. I have experimented with the pads on my Meze 99C; first trying the ZMF Ori pads and later on the Brainwavz HM5 non-angled sheepskin pads. Now, I absolutely fell in love with my Meze 99C, so much that, when I had the chance to try out nearly every high-end...

If Eikon is considered the oerfect all-rounder, then it would be interesting to know, what genres of music are unfavorable for the Atticus. Time to nitpick, I guess?

Yes, all Padauk versions of both Atticus and Eikon come with the gunmetal trim. 

The E and A seem to be life itself. It might also be the sound of your love towards these two beautiful cans. Only heaven knows the mysterious ways of Zach's engineering.

@MezeTeam How can I order one of these new cables? I tried it via your own website and could not find "Germany" as a destination and your local dealer merely sells your gear and no accessories. I really want that cable! 

I just received my ZMF Ori pads. The boost in comfort is already incredible. I will keep comparing the sound during the next couple of days and try to post my results here. Cheers 

Sounds great. I will keep that in mind for sure then! Thanks. 

"The 68 ohm setting". Is that something you have tinkered with or is the Solstice straight out of the box a perfect match for the Atticus? I am still debating what could be the best amp for the Atticus below 400€.

Sounds great! I was tempting to get the Brainwavz non-angled sheepskin pads myself, but first I am waiting for my ZMF Ori pads to arrive (somewhere in the near future hopefully).
