For us living in eu is harder to get them. Sellers are arrogant and prices are very high. I dont find it fair. @zach915m

"Arrogant", really? You should try headonist.fr, then. Pierre is the nicest guy one can hope when looking for his next flaship. He even loans you the ZMF line up so you can try the cans with your own set up! Very happy with my Eikon purchase.

I've yet to try a seller from inside the EU. I only bought directly from ZMF. Unfortunately there is no way to avoid VAT on it but in the end it's worth it. Warranty is also super easy to handle even if you are in the other side of the globe.

I have good experience with Headphone Company (Germany).

Damn I just bought a VO from hot cup summer :frowning2:
I wouldn't be too upset about this, Verite Open is still ZMF's best headphone by a fair margin in my opinion.

Also, planars and dynamics driver headphones bring different strengths and weaknesses to the table.


Can't wait to hear Caldera next week!

Hyperbolic and not true at all. Try Andi at Kopfhörerboutique (Vienna) or Stefan at Headphone Auditions (Amsterman) for non-arrogant sales to name but two. Both sell ZMF.

Hoping for the slam that the Ori has....sub bass and mid bass slam!

Figures, just 2 days after I get the shipping notice for my Atrium. Whoops. Didn't think I'd have to have another headphone Battle Royale so soon. Which will stay, which will go? Will I finally be brave enough to sell a ZMF or will I just keep adding every headphone they release until I'm buried by Pelican cases??

Great news. I tried to convince myself to a DD but planar is my love. I hope they will sound great. I wonder how soundstage will be lookin.

And how bass will look like on the graph. Is it going to be linear and go way deeper and lover than 20 hz maintain it linearity and what THD will look like

@zach915m Is there a chance to see measurements in nearest future, before sell out starts?

I didn't. I tried to buy an Auteur through them (it was before Audeos became ZMF's distributor in Poland), but eventually had to buy direct from ZMF.

Looks amazing but another flagship price point is kinda disappointing. The price of these put them in second hand Susvara territory so I'll have to get some headtime with them before I pull any triggers.

I guess this now makes the Caldera ZMF's flagship?
