@grizzlybeast how would you compare these to Focal Elear?
Glad you mentioned that, Opeth is one of my favourite bands and the RATM/Audioslave/Soundgarden/etc. genre is probably what I listen to the most these days along with hip hop. A lot of guitar heavy stuff in my playlists.

I added a page on "wood" to our site: http://www.zmfheadphones.com/wood/
If I missed anything glaring let me know and I'll carve out a small section for it.

Some of this seems to contradict the 'Wood Info' section on the Omni's shop page.
E.g., Bubinga is listed as having medium/large pores on the latter, while it is refered to as having small pores in former.
Generally speaking, a finer scale for pores would be welcome.
Probably there is no good unit for comparison of pore size.

So what do I lose if I go with the Cherry Eikon vs the Padauk Eikon as far as sound?
Do I gain anything?
Will I even notice?
I like lighter colored woods like Cherry more so than dark woods, so Cherry would be my preference, everything being equal. (which we know it's not...)

Hi all, for how long will the pre-order page be opened?
I'll be on a trip friday, but don't want to miss the pre-order!
thanks

We're using a beech wood baffle in the Atticus and Eikon, because of the baffle being wood, and because we are utilizing the driver tube, I don't think the changes in sound are as significant as with the t50 based planar headphones like the Omni/Blackwood/Vibro.
That being said, Padauk does sound a touch faster, and Cherry a touch more lush.
Nov 4th until Dec 15th. First come first serve though, the latest we will start shipping is Feb 1st, it depends on how many orders there are for the actual time to get them all out etc.
