Well the only one of those that are close are the ZMFs. The primes are a whole different tuning from the 3's and HDs

Your debate should IMHO be between the Slants and Omnis.

Grabbing my cherry Omni's tight and screaming at the top of my lungs - "hooooooooooooooooooo yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy". Been waiting to see Zach's response to the new crazy flagships. I have nothing but high hopes for these. The Omni's do still sound phenomenal though, can't see myself selling these anytime soon. I just can't wait for ZMF to shake up the market hehe.

I urge to check out the lff enigma as well. It might be just what you're looking for.

Zach is soon releasing his first all-original design. Say hello to the Atticus and Eikon dynamic driver headphones:

Is the headband adjustment a friction setup like on the T50RPs? Or is it a clicky, notched adjustment?

 

[Hisoundfi]

Everyone, please move all questions on the new cans over to the new thread.

Cheers

I didn't want my rather superfluous question on the first few pages. I always feel like first posters should really put effort into what they say as it's what's initially seen by new visitors.

I went and picked up my Omni this morning from the post office.
 
What impeccable build quality....thank you Zach, for such a well made piece of gear 

 
I will return later with some comments on the sound.....they are much more comfy than I thought they would be, even though I heard they were comfy.
 
Here they are just freshly unboxed.
 
I am glad I decided to get the seahorse case to store them in.

You got the inset pewter coin! I'm very jealous. I asked Zach for that option as well, but I guess at the time he couldn't find the box (it was just after the move to a new workshop).
 
The Ormosia Henryi cups are stunning.

While I do agree there may be other like headphones we have heard and like that could lead to a somewhat logical result.

My favourite headphone to date for example is the lcd3. Pre fazor.

I also like the hd650 if amped well.

I prefer a darker signature. Still detailed but smooth and easy up top. With a good amount of body to the sound.

Kind of how I like my bourbon but opposite to how I like my Scotch

 
The Omni has been described as being similar to the Pre-Fazor LCD-3

I have really  been enjoying the Omni all day.
 
I just love the bass and am very impressed with the sound stage, it is much larger than I expected.
 
I was much worried about the weight, but it is not an issue, it is a very comfy headphone.
 
Zach has really nailed the tone on these.

Stop it.   My wallet can't take much more of this abuse.

  It's weird, I don't believe I have large ears but the inner foam touches my ears slightly, not uncomfortable but just a bit in the way of the feeling of the headphones "disappearing" on my head. The weight distribution is amazing, I was expecting them to feel much heavier. The Omni pads being leather I expected them to get hot as I live in a rather humid country. That's not the case at all. They don't get hot and are super comfortable.
 
They look amazing. I'm in love with how they look to be honest. They feel substantial and premium.
 
Well, they have less bass than I was anticipating, it's perfectly natural to my ears, maybe a bit boosted than neutral. The mids magic haven't grabbed me yet. Maybe I need some mental burn-in. The treble at first felt a little dull, then I tried the quick mod on how to increase the treble by @aornic and tried different combinations. No damping was a little too hot and snazzy but not as worse as my hifiman he-400i. The square foams only was a bit sibilant and hot. The square foams places diagonally like a diamond with the circular foams on top were good.
I have tried to revert back to stock placement but it still sounds a incey wincey sibilant but nothing unbearable. Going to try doing it more properly later.
 
My setup is quite bad so that's to blame too. An Objective2 amp with no dac. So i'm basically double amping. Will get the modibit in the future.
 
I also tried them out of my phone (htc one m8) and they get to listenable volumes. Not sure about the sound though.
Cheers! 

 
I just got my Omni's in Bocote today. I don't have large ears either but mine touch the inner foam too, guess it's normal.
 
The bass on these is incredible, definitely pleased.
 
Here's some quick snaps

Those look so good! <- Jealous

Yeah, I'm pleased I got the Bocote now. Zach was out of stock of the Blackwood so recommended these as an alternative!
