100%, per my source

Given what Zach has said here previously a few months ago I believe he was hoping shortly after CanJam but of course they've been crazy busy with everything else. I'd still think well before the end of the year.

My guess would be Caldera closed prototypes throughout CanJams and probably a release in the last quarter of 2024. A bit like it was with the Bokeh last year.

@zach915m Any chance there will be a Caldera Closed prototype to try out at CanJam NY?

Yep we will have like 6 to 8 of them for listening! Tuning is in the final stages.

The odds of a Caldera Closed on sale by the end of the year?

Looking at an April/May release most likely!

@zach915m Are you planing to attend again in this year the highend in Munich?

Posting this here as it helped a couple people on the Bokeh thread. Wanted to quickly share my method for switching ZMF pads, as I continue to see folks struggling with this on all the different ZMF threads and this cuts the pad change time down to seconds. Please try this and let me know if it helps.

That’s unbelievably smooth and fast… Can we host a pad-swapping contest at the next Canjam? Winner takes home a Caldera

we should raise the stakes... everyone puts their caldera in the center, winner takes all..

@AnyDave shared this in the Bokeh earlier:

Looks super awesome, @zach915m! ZMF has been firing on all cylinders!

If it adds a bit more bass pressurization and tones down the brightness from the Caldera (the only point of contention for my ears), then man... not sure how my wallet feels about that idea.

Closed planars are less common so I'm incredibly curious about how it sounds. Imagine how this design will look in its limited wood and stabilized versions...Such a charismatic and classy design.

Got my Calderas last week and have been loving them! Beautiful looking and sounding

My heart says “YESSSS”, my brain and credit card say “NOOO”.

Might could sell my Caldera Open and get the Closed

I noticed people getting all these cool colored cans from ZMF. How did you all get the colors you wanted? Is it by special request or did you have to wait till the color comes up for the month?

Zmf sells limited headphones a couple times throughout the year. November is their most well known. They’ll announce it a couple days prior to launch via the forum and Instagram. I believe the next run will be in March. They also sell out very quickly sometimes within seconds once available.

If you are able to attend a Cam jam they’ll have limited editions available.

I was thinking of getting a Susvara and Caldera combo but if a good closed back Caldera comes out, that’s going to be a different story.

Yeah like @avin13 said we have releases of some limited sets.

I amabkit to announce our release schedule in the next couple weeks for all that stuff, but the next LTD date is March 1st for some LTF editions, and then at the end of the month the stabilized and resin stuff will be released. Caldera Closed release will likely be late April or early may.
