Big fan of the BBB straps. I have them on all three ZMFs now.

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
- Thread starter DeweyCH
- Start date
My long-awaited Atrium in aged cherry / copper arrived yesterday and it's everything I'd hoped it would be; absolutely spectacular both sonically and visually. Somewhat surprisingly coming from the Aeolus, which I never thought twice about having on, I'm finding I might actually be somewhat sensitive to the weight. I opted for the aluminum chassis for durability, but am starting to wonder whether I should have opted for magnesium to save that 30 or so grams.
I would be heartbroken to ever even think about parting ways with this masterpiece, so I'm curious what others have found to be the best "comfort" upgrade from the standard suspension strap, either the new BBB strap or the co-pilot pad? I thought about reaching out to ZMF to inquire about sending them in to swap the chassis to magnesium, if that's something they even do, but would hate to go through the trouble to find it didn't make enough of a difference (maybe my head is just getting soft in my old age!). Thanks in advance!
BBB strap does an excellent job distributing weight (which, in the end, is more important than just the weight)
also, play around with adjusting the headband. how much is clamping on the side vs. resting on top, and weather you tak hotspot very top off pressure can all materially change the perception of weight.
