For the drops the pictures are of the actual headphone.I've never purchased from a ZMF drop. The one I ordered in the drop was M204, Macassar Ebony. Since there are pictures of the headphones available in the drop, I assumed that they were already made and they would ship much sooner than the standard 10 weeks. Was that a bad assumption? The AI chat bot said to expect it to take up to 10 weeks. Are the pictures in the drop the actual headphones available for purchase or just a close representation?
While it’s been assembled it still has to go thru the ZMF QC process. All that is done by hand. So it joins the queue of headphones already in the QC process.
So depending how many other headphones they already have in the QC queue it could be sooner or later. Hence why there is a time frame given for delivery.
