Don't forget, Caldera closed are coming at some point.
Can any recent UK buyers of ZMF headphones advise on taxes/customs etc when buying direct from ZMF please?
Also, if Zach is reading, are you hoping to be at next year's London CanJam again?, and if so, would you likely have any Bokeh's for sale on the day? I didn't ask you about purchases on the day this year as my show money was already spent on some Meze 109's, but if I knew you were going to have some Bokeh's for sale next year at show then I'd be prepared for some delayed gratification and purchase then

UK got 20% VAT from what I remember, just add 20% on your purchase price combined with the shipping cost and some DHL customs handling fee of 10-15 pounds.

I think I heard the Caldera, among others in the ZMF room at CanJam, but the one that stood out from the selection I heard was the Bokeh and Verite Closed.
In all honesty though that may have been because I was specifically comparing closed backs at that point and also because I'd already heard the Meze Elites earlier in the day and no open back I heard after that came close to it. They very quickly became my 'end game' headphone, lol.
Would be very interesting to hear a closed back Caldera though. From the video, Zach suggests its release is very close

It's quite interesting to see the budgets different people have. My gob is truly smacked when I see the gear some people are able to collect.
For my wallet the Meze 109 this year was a big purchase but a fantastic one in terms of what I was after and the bang for the buck. I wouldn't have bought the Liric even at half it's price for example. The Elites blew me away and fully justified their 'TOTL' status. If ever I'm lucky enough to own a set it'll only ever be secondhand.
The ZMF room was great because I knew nothing of the individual models or price points before I started listening. To discover then that the Bokeh was my favourite listen, with the VC a very close second, came as a massive relief!

I came from Focal, Kennerton, Hifiman, etc and this is the first time I saw 'Zack' the ZMF founder.
2 minutes in and engineers recognized each one. The way he talks about the driver and
conception... I want to try the Bokeh as my entry in ZMF approach to music.

Gjallarhorn GH 40 from kennerton seems like a good comparison for bokeh

two are indeed very similar....i always consider kennerton to be the ussr version of zmf
Unless it's weird in UK/EU the standard mini XLR ZmF uses on everything is just as easy to source lol

Mini-XLR is a solid standard but cable for mobile first use-case are rare and expensive.
Few choices for 4.4 -> mini-xlr so 3.5 here is aligned with philosophy of mobility.

Don't rush it. Took me a very long time before I was successful enough to afford TOTL headphones. Years in fact. Enjoy the ride, makes you appreciate it even more.Lol.

Good advice. I took a year of reading and watching endless Meze 109 reviews and then only bought it after hearing it at Canjam and getting a good show discount. That's why I'd be prepared to wait another year before jumping in on the Bokeh. I really enjoy the journey, and limited finances help with that too, lol.
Yes, I think you're probably right. However, I have a nice custom 3.5mm to 4.4mm cable from skyaudio that I use for the Meze 109. It would be nice to be able to use that in the first instance before perhaps buying another one.
