The Blackwoods usually come with the Eikon pads on top of the Auteur pads. Both lambskin.

Donnie has a beautiful voice, that's for sure. Not a beautiful life, tho...
Check out this very talented keyboardist/singer, Nigel Hall. He sounds eerily like Donnie at times in this straight-from-the-church ballad:

Just arrived today. Zebrawood LTD with rose gold and copper cable joining the rest of the ZMF family here--Aeolous Sapele, Verite Silkwood, and Manchurian Ash Atticus, all suede versions. Haven't burned them in, which may not be needed as these aren't 100% new.
It's really difficult to capture the correct color and beauty of the rose gold. I think it will pop more as the wood darkens. They're all really works of art.
Immediately recognized the ZMF house sound and was also pleasantly surprised at how differently they present music compared to the Verite, even on a relatively simple song like Hey Jude. I think I now have every perforated suede pad variant so will play around with all of those after some time with Auteur suede perf.

Damn. that's quite a ZMF collection. That new Auteur is so pretty.
What wood is the Atticus? It's very handsome, and the grain match is perfect.
Manchurian Ash according to the seller. My first ZMFs bought in October and now 3 more within 3 months. When I like something, I tend to really like it.
Don't be jealous. All it took to afford these was living on a volcano, getting some house damage from 3 months of SO2 and intensely acidic rain, and an eventual overly generous insurance payout of which under 10% was splurged on used and b-stock ZMFs, lol. Personally I wouldn't recommend it!I am so J
To think, I thought I must have lost my mind just over a year ago when I decided to spend $250 on used HD 700s (which started all this craziness for me). Fortunately, this is it for a while headphone-wise. The 6 month wait for the Glenn OTL is feeling like a very long time though.

LOL, I have a friend living on that island, he had some exciting times. I empathize with the Glenn waiting list angst, I am in the same boat with you

Indeed! I have been lusting after a pair of Ironwood Verite closed every since reading a couple of Rave reviews!
I was trying to save up but moving and a new job etc. I am hoping by the end of year. Love my Auteur Blackwoods.
But the Verite closed sounds like it might give me all that and closed headphones with similar or better overall performance!
I got my Blackwoods after getting an insurance payout as well! Small world!
Happy Listening,

Stunning! Wouldn't trade my coco Auteurs for anything, but those are insane. I'm just a sucker for the ZMF aesthetic/Auteur in particular.What's this, a whole page without any Auteur pics? Problem solved!

Ha, as a life long Chief's fan I'll be listening to the Superbowl with my Auteurs! I also placed an order today for a set of custom cables from Hart Audio Cables, with the multi-kit connectors. So that means I will be able to plug my Auteurs into:
- IC-1 3": 1/4" TRS
- IC-2 3": 3.5mm TRS
- IC-3 3": 4-pin XLR
- IC-4 3": 2.5mm TRS
- IC-5 3": 3.5mm TRRS
- IC-6 3": 4.4mm TRRRS

My Auteur will be rooting for the Niners. Hope it’s a good game!
