Customs decided to let them go finally

Are you a hired mafia thug, or just have eclectic taste in bottle openers?

Yes

Love the grill design

The orientation of the grill is causing the OCD in me to rise up though...

Killer, enjoy. I always wanted to listen to one of Donald's amps.

The wait is long, but worth it from what I hear.

That Atrium is beautiful....enjoy.

How so? I've noticed and they all seem to be deliberately designed the same way. The top part of the diamond/sqaureish/star-ish-shape at the center of the grille is perpendicular to the headband. So that it's more like an X with the Atrium... branches flowing outwards.

When you need a tube amp that will fit in the headphone case. Schiit coaster amp does a respectable job of driving these cans. Soundstage slightly less than the BHC. Low end is a little lacking but still capable of tube warmth in a very small package.

Stock cherry with magnesium chassis come in at 478 grams.

Aged Cherry with Aged copper, Aluminium chassis = 570g on the scale

Neither aligned to the top pin nor the bottom jack. I understand the design aesthetics, but my eye is drawn to the top and bottom right away and not to the headband fixtures at the side, which aren't as prominent.

Just my OCD... If one could just pry free the grille and re-orientate them...?

For 570g they don’t feel heavy at all. They are most comfortable of my 4 ZMFs. The others are Blackwood VC w/magnesium chassis, Bocote Auteur w/aluminum chassis and Bubinga Aoleus w/aluminum chassis.

Beautiful setup!

My pair just arrived. And I mean, c'mon, ain't no way I'm waiting until after work to get a quick taste of these.

First thoughts that popped in my mind: satisfying bass, sound scape, and goose-bump inducing mids.

For example, the cello during the intro in this track just... wow. Then the sounds bits just float around your head with the voice cutting through so clearly. And this is by no means a standard "audiophile" mix lol, just a random song that popped on.



Edit: then swapped over to some John Williams & Yo-Yo Ma and the timbre just makes me want to cry...

Can't wait for some extended time with these.
Also, they're gorgeous. I'll have to share a pic soon.

The grille's are not oriented towards the jack or the rods because we want the grille point to be perpendicular in a diamond shape when you're wearing them. So you can think of the orientation to be "corrected" so that when they are worn they look like a diamond VS off-set when wearing and oriented towards the jack. Don't worry - we lose sleep at night thinking over these details.

To be honest, I think all of us already worry about how much sleep you get!

Also @BooUrns in no way asked me to write that...

I received a MiniDSP Ears today, if anyone is interested in me trying my amateur butt at getting some FR graphs.

hahah-- but why sleep when you can headphone?!

The MiniDSP ears are great for correlating personal preferences from the 100 Hz to 2000 Hz or so area, because you can measure your own collection and find what you do or don't and do like easily in a correlative fashion! MiniDSP has made that achievable really easily and is awesome! At some point I'm going to do a video showing the differences and use of the MiniDSP vs the more ridiculously expensive stuff just for fun.

For "publishable" measurements that are readable generally to a mass population, it's always best to refer to measurements taken in an anechoic chamber with known compensation curves/set-up etc etc etc. We have those available on our website for all to view: https://www.zmfheadphones.com/measurements

I'm always trying to tell you...!
