ATTICUS and EIKON, the new dynamic driver headphones from ZMF

There is no issue with leakage with the Eikon in my opinion. The headband can be adjusted for a tighter fit. If you want warmer, the Atticus might be what you want. The Eikon is more toward the neutral sound, while the Atticus leans more toward the mids, but it does not get quite as low as the Eikon on the sub-bass.
The more I read about the Atticus the more I wonder if it would suit me better. It's confusing - wish I could audition them but the only UK dealer is 400miles away.

I didn't know you could travel 400 miles in one direction and still be in the UK. :)

You'd be surprised!
edit - we're not like Americans who drive 400miles to do some shopping.

As an American, I would never travel 400 miles to shop, LOL.

That is exactly why Jeff Bezos is a bazillion-aire. Now the USPS drives 400 miles when Americans shop.

I just tried these headphones at an audio store in los angeles. My goodness do they sound impressive. The atticus was more neutral to me while the eikon was better in everyway. So much so that i bought them.

You found the Atticus to be more neutral than the Eikon?

My cocobolo Atticus arrived today, and what a beauty! :heart_eyes:
I'll be using it with Audio-gd Master 9 and Cavalli Liquid Crimson amps. Will report back with impressions in a few days!
