ZMF November is a yearly event where we at ZMF hold our only B-Stock sale of the year, along with rolling Limited (LTD) Edition releases in special finishes, and a wide array of LTD Stabilized // Resin wood releases. The B-Stock event offers headphones that may have a minor cosmetic flaw but are sonically perfect, all backed by our full ZMF warranty.

I'm late to the party. Discovered ZMF just recently. Probably my questions are stupid and I'm sorry If I'm bothering you with what everybody already knows:
If I buy an headphone released in the november timeframe like the Atrium Ltd 2024 (the canary wood version)
is the waiting time for it the same (6-12 week) the other models require? In the menu of those new models there are still options like the chassis or the different pads? But are not those models already finished... changing the chassis doesn't imply more waiting time?

November ZMF is not a discount opportunity, am I wrong? The discount consist in limited edition costing the same as stock models?

Do ZMF ship to italy?

I'm looking forward bringing one or two of those beautiful headphones home...

Hello fellow Italian audiophile :D

As far as I know, ZMF ships to Italy, of course take into account customs and taxes after the purchase. And yeah, the "discount" is that the LTD have the same price of the STD, at least the one i saw.

For the waiting time i'll leave zmf personnel to answer, but in general there are no already finished model in this kind of drop events, they are all made on order I think.

Personally i'm really really looking forward to the bokeh open!

P.S. @zach915m i know you are a very busy person, but could you take a look at your PM when you have 1 spare minute?

As I just received my CC Shedua after a 16 week wait, I’m sitting out these releases. But I’ll admit… it’s definitely taking all the willpower I can muster…

Funny how getting the best headphones I ever owned kinda makes me want to buy more (ZMF) instead of easily laying off the sauce for a couple of months 😅
(yes, I know signs of addiction when I see them)

love this community! Thanks for your welcome and answer.
If waiting is needed, wait I will. I'm sure it is worth.

Just to see if I understand the November madness.
If I’m looking for Caldera Closed, relevant release dates are:
October 25th (today)
November 29th
December 2nd

Right?

Great looking set of LTD models; can't recommend the Queensland Maple enough.

Also, congrats on what was, I'm sure, a very stressful and laborious move amidst continuously needing to fulfill orders. Very exciting to start seeing video of the new facility :)

Serious problem:
Do I buy the Ltd Caldera Closed, the wood is wonderful, or do I wait for a resign version of CC, and if I'm unlucky, I don't get a nice one, and the Ltd is sold out… 🤔


My wallet is sweating already!

My wallet hasn't recovered from the Aegis purchase... never mind, eating is overrated. 😂
