I didn’t think the verite closed was better than the rad or the focal. Best closed headphone and better than the Sony. If I needed closed specifically than the VC would be the ticket, I’ve not heard the stellia so I can’t comment on those.
I’d love to extrapolate from my 2 year love affair with the utopia but I have a policy of not commenting on HPs I haven’t actually heard.

Back to the RAD I still love the crap outta mine and think they are the perfect counterpoint to the utopia or he1000se

I haven't heard that sorry I'm basing what I said on verite owners impressions
If I'm basing my opinion on zmf signature sound as I've owned plenty of zmf headphones vs my time with the utopia and I currently own the elegia I'd put my money on the focal sounding shouty vs zmf hps.

@Strayngs Any info how it happen?

listening through my Ifi Pro iCAN single ended and left side lost most of its volume. It also breaks in and out. Tested with both of my cables and Both of my amps With same results.

Bummer. At least you are in the USA right? It would have been even more tricky if it happened to a user abroad (like me). I hope they get it fixed soon for you! Did you contact them?

not yet I will contact them tomorrow. Yes being in the USA makes it a lot easier.

I found the VO to have better resolution then the Empyrean. If you called the Empyrean dark then the VO is the light. You get good bass on Verite maybe not as much as the Empyrean's mid bass attack which I love a lot. I would put the RAD in between the two though for me it isn't my cup of tea.

Can you elaborate why it isn't for you, please?

It might be redundant to ask, but I trust that you tried different headphones to exclude Pro iCAN?
