Your headphones match each other perfectly.They. Have. ARRIVED!! But before a quick write up, I'll give you what you want first with the pictures
OK, now before I move on to a bit of a sound test (need way more time with them before I can do a full review) I wanted to begin with a bit of an "oops" on my part. When I was ordering the Atrium's, I thought the option to purchase with the "leather strap & suede pad" was actually talking fully about the headband. As you can see with my VC, I have a leather headband with a suede strap right below it and this is what I thought I was ordering when selecting this option with the Atrium. Woops, I actually had ordered the suede version of the stock earpads instead. Luckily my secondary earpads were the Auteur Lambskins that I'm used to on my VC.
After listening to the Suede Universe Pads, I was digging the Atriums but the treble was too much for my liking and the bass wasn't where I like it to be in quantity/impact. Although I read pad rolling is a pain in the ass, I decided I needed to make my first attempt at it and get the Auteur Lambskins on. After watching Zach's video on YouTube, it was actually pretty dang easy and not as frustrating as I had been expecting. EVERYTHING changed at this point. I felt like I was right back at home with the ZMF sound signature that I absolutely love. The treble calmed down and smoothed, the bass came back and I was left with a sound signature much more to my liking.
As I mentioned before, I will need a lot more time to really test these bad boys out but so far I will agree with the differences everyone has already mentioned between the VC's and the Atriums. They compliment each other absolutely perfectly. The mids and vocals on the Atrium - wow wow wow. Yes, rock and metal and that type of music definitely feels more suited for the Atriums on first pass to a very comfortable degree. Just sounds more natural and present in those types of songs. Obviously sound stage is above and beyond the VC as well. The bass is very, very impressive for an open back and while it doesn't surround you the way it might on the VC, there is ample amount of slam and presence in the bass.
That's it for now - I will be back for more when I log many more hours on 'em
. I especially love both of them for being light as hell. You mix these woods with the a magnesium chassis and you have a really comfy combo.
I have no doubts that the Atrium just sings with the Euphoria...just like every ZMF.
Your camphor burl VC is super gorgeous....I envy you...They. Have. ARRIVED!! But before a quick write up, I'll give you what you want first with the pictures

How do you like that 3X GT for headphones?Thank you! I know, I was pretty surprised how closely the Camphor Burl matches Koa haha but I love that they're matching
For your question, no I don't think so at all. I think the pairing with the Euforia is absolutely incredible!! These headphones just sing with this thing in all the right ways. Gonna switch over to my Burson to compare, though.
Doesn't the Oor have more warmth than the 3X GT?
