Lachlan talks a little about the BOKEH and the HOMAGE amp.
It looks promising, but I have no use for a closed-back so I will wait for the open version.

what is the weight of this bokeh headphone? atrium been killing my neck for a year now....
The Bokeh will be one of the lighter ZMFs. It did feel light in my hands, which confirms the 400g-430g I read here and there.

and its cherry....thx god for me not having a wood fetish
I'm jealous, as someone with a wood fetish and African Blackwood sets.
When I owned it, I thought the cherry Atrium was extremely comfortable. Could also be that my Blackwood sets have been weight training my neck lol
The Bokeh does look very appealing as a nice pair of daily/work/gaming/etc cans, I have to agree with you on that.

Maybe some neck exercises or training. Atrium isn't that heavy.
Depends on the model. Some Atriums are near or under 500g and that's just fine for most people. But the denser woods and the fancy ones all the kids seem to like can get up there quickly, and few find 550g and up alright for hours of listening, nevermind the bravado.
From what I hear this new ZMF will start even lower, so I suppose very few units will have a real weight problem.

You heard the man. ZMF also stands for Zach's Masculine/Matriarchy Fitness. Don't skip neck day and get your Bokeh, even if you are sore when you awokeh.

Aha!, I've finally found the name (and now thread) of this new ZMF headphone.
Regarding where this fits in, in terms of portability. I've no idea, I won't be buying it for portable use, but the 3.5mm cup connectors are a big plus as it'll mean using easy to source custom cables.
I heard a set of these at London CanJam. I listened to quite a selection of ZMF headphones there, for the very first time, and I preferred the Verite Closed, but second to these!
Yes, it felt like the VC's had a slightly wider soundstage (both incredible btw for a closed back!), but there was something about this new set that just clicked with me straight away, and that was before I found out about any pricing or that they weren't released yet.
It's THE headphone I want to complete my collection.
Maybe DAP use, rather than amp set up nails it? I only use DAP's as I don't have an headphone amp set up as use hifi separates and speakers for front room listening.
I tested everything at London CanJam, where I was able to, with my iBasso dx300 on balanced 4.4mm .
These headphones sounded gorgeous to me and the stand out closed back I heard on the day. Only the VC came close to it.

Yea, there is certainly quite a number of DAPs out there that should be able to power the BOKEH quite well.
I've got a DX200 with one of the 4.4mm balanced AMPs, so I'll be testing it on that for sure.
Apparently there plenty of people running Verite and Atrium from DX300 with Amp11, so Bokeh really shouldnt be a problem.
96-99 dB/mW vs. 103 dB/mW and 80 ohm vs. 300 ohm. The Bokeh is noticeably easier to drive than the Verité or Atrium.
