Then you owe it to yourself to read this most recent review where the OP compares the Verite to planars and electrostats.I like the speed of Planars. I'm not opposed to other types of drivers, but that is my preference. If you have any suggestions that aren't planar but are open back and complementary or similar to the Sony MDR-Z1R, I'd love to hear about it. I certainly appreciate the input.
ZMF Vérité Reviews
Just like the Z1R, the VO didn’t get a fair shake with some reviewers and then those opinions propagated unfairly.
I’ve heard several TOTL planar flagships, and sold my LCD-5, just to ultimately repurchase the VO.
It really just depends on what you’re optimizing. Both the VO and Z1R prioritize the music first, but still retain the superb technicalities to keep the left brain engaged and focused. The VO, with its speedy drivers and natural timbre is a great complement to the Z1R.
However, if you want the absolute last word in detail and resolution, then Abyss is probably what you’re after.
Congrats on the little one, @shadymouse! My daughter was born in October last year. : )
