Oh darn, the I'm looking for the best closed headphones money can buy that's portable. Any suggestions if the Eikon is too heavy? would the Sony ZR1 be the same bulkiness?

For at home I can just get the Focal Utopia or Senn HE1.

I second the MrSpeakers Aeon Closed. I owned them for a while and they are the most comfortable and lightweight closed back over-ear headphones I've used, with great sound quality as well.

How's the portability of the Eikon? I'm looking for a closed back headphone for walking and work and was wondering if these are flight enough for everyday use? sound leakage? and can they be driven by say a LG V20/30 quad DAC smartphone?

Also where is the ZMF Eikon made in ? China? USA?
Check out the B&W P9. It has a slight v-shape to its signature (but so does the Z1R), but is definitely designed to be portable despite its apparent size.

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing! It has a mic too I think so super convenient.

Zach, any chance we could see the pics of the cocobolo sets as promised? When do you expect the first of the LTD editions to start shipping?

Absolutely stunning.

What's a good wooden stand for these? Something less than $50, I was looking at a few types on amazon or ebay but I'm new to this game. I don't want something that's going to be too small or stretch them out over time.

Have you searched this thread for the word stand? This has been asked before and answered.

Yeah, and most people are recommending either non-wood stands or the Woo audio headphone stand (also not wood) which is more than I want to spend.

Does Atticus pair well with an ifi micro idsd BL? Im planning to upgrade my HP soon and apparently Atticus looks favorable compared to Z1R, based on reviews.

If only i could demo atticus :frowning2:
It pairs beautifully with the iDSD Micro silver, and the BL is a slightly improved version, so yes!
