Yeah. I can’t wait until the reviews start rolling in. Hopefully it won’t take too long!

I'll likely take one for the team here and blind order it at launch next week! Somebody's got to step up and do it!

Nice teaser video by Skeeb and classy set dressing with the lighting and whiskey.

As for the headphones, the gray ear cups, steel rods, and black headband look great — really love those materials and colors.

The wood grill looks promising, but I can't tell if the color leans blue-ish purple (Minnesota Vikings, LSU, etc.) or red/pink-ish purple. The grills in Skeeb's lean red/pink while the above production photos lean Vikings/LSU (albeit desaturated). Someone's color grading and/or lighting is off, but whose?

As for the accessories, are those plastic rings spacers to add more depth to the ear pads? If so, how thick are they?

Whatever the answers, looks like another excellent ZMF headphone is on the way!

Mine is still stuck in the Cincinnati DHL hub since late Tuesday, so hopefully it will move again soon.

 

[Cornelius1988]

Dang vsg28!!! I hate to hear that for you.

Demo units seem to be heading out now, won’t be long. My unit arrives on Monday, barring delays. I’ll try to leave daily impressions as the unit burns in. Super excited to hear it! The canjam set I heard this summer was excellent.

30 minutes in, and I have never said "Wow!" out loud, this many times before.

These aren't even burned in yet, and I can already tell they are very special headphones. The air in the mids and lifelike timbre is incredible already, and the detail is stunning. They sound quick, and snappy with good punch, and very well balanced top to bottom with pin point imaging. Vocals are breathy, and fully fleshed out, while they float right out in front of me. These headphones are absolutely beautiful with female vocals.

Just wanted to pop in and give a quick impression, and will report back after some good burn-in. I can't wait for me people to hear these, and Zach has really outdone himself once again.

Back to musical bliss. . .

Gah! I am trying not to spend more for ZMF November. I really want to hold out for the stabilized/resin/ltd versions.

Any chance anyone knows what the introductory price may be? If under a grand I may bite.
