Apologies, busy time of the year for my job.

I got some listening done last night before passing out. The new kid on the block has already made a great first impression. I currently have them at work with me paired with a Mojo 2. I obviously won't get my full review done by Friday, but I'll get an abbreviated version out for potential day one buyers.

I'll take some better pics on a sunny day, but it actually has some very nice chatoyance.

So, I spent quite a few hours yesterday with the Bokeh, and first impressions are very good. This is a special headphone, and with what I have heard so far, I already know I will have to own one. :grin:

The smaller form factor actually works extremely well with my small head, and this headphone is a rocker, and sounds incredible off my HA300MK2! The bass is something else and is tight and impactful and doesn't bleed into the mids at all. The detail is quite impressive as well, and there is some magic with this headphone's tuning that is highly addictive.

More to come after a couple more days of listening and learning what this headphone is all about.

Spoiler - Currently listening to Agnes Obel - The Curse, and the mids are to die for with texture and crunch you can literally feel.

I am loving this headphone!

Thought it might be worth asking to those who've already listened, but is the timbre like a typical ZMF? And does it have the same level of punch and slam as the Aeolus?
It definitely has ZMF DNA and timbre, and there is no mistaking it's tuned by Zach. I don't own an Aeolus anymore, but will be comparing to my Atticus shortly, and will report back on how the bass compares between those two.

This song sounds absolutely incredible with the Bokeh, and if you like guitar and well recorded acoustic stuff, this headphone will surely please. :grin:

This song also sounds the best I have ever heard it, with the Bokeh. :astonished:

Can't wait to listen to it!
Btw does anybody know are those first 250 units already built or are they made after the order?

Sorry for the little off topic but which pads are you using on your Aeolus?

@Wes S
How does Bokeh compare to other ZMF closed back headphones in terms of weight (and comfort)? I'm still thinking of Bokeh as a portable headphone.
It is still a full-sized headphone, and honestly feels very similar to my other ZMF closed backs, with just a tad less weight and a slightly slimmer look and feel. I don't imagine anyone will be working out or running with them. That being said, they are a tad lighter and smaller overall, so they will definitely be the easiest ZMF to travel with.
