Hi. Im thinking about buying a verite closed to use with a hugo2. I currently own hd650, cascades, th900, audeze sine, wp900, he400i, oppo pm3, b&o h6 but I'm thinking of getting 1 top headphone and then probably call it a day for a few years. I listen to metal, electronic, jazz, classical and hip hop, would these be a good comfortable can for hours of home working everyday?

I have just obtained them and have been using them with 2Go/Hugo2 as well as Mscaler/Dave and Mscaler/Dave/AIC-10. I have spent several days with them on all day, with no discomfort. They sit comfortably, with pressure evenly distributed across the top of my head. Clamping force is moderate to low - I am sensitive to clamping force, and there has been no issue on that front.

Just to build on what Mikey99 has shared, you can also adjust the clamping force by bending the headband where it meets the chassis. Zach goes over it in his headband bending video on YouTube-- just search for "ZMF Headband Bending (New)" and fast forward to time stamp 7:19. Make sure your rod positioning is as low as possible, though.

Do you wear glasses? Just checking since I read somewhere that the VC is not the optimal headphone for people with

Short version is the Verites are quite comfortable, I wear mine for 3 or 4 hours at a time without issues.
They are however quite heavy.
The weight varies a lot based on the wood selection the Ironwood ones are a good 100+g heavier than Camphor.

I don’t normally wear glasses. I just tried them with a pair on, it seemed fine, at least for the short period I had them on.

Thanks for checking it out. It is also about the seal. Zach mentioned once on Reddit that one pad might be better than another, but I forgot which one it was.

I wear glasses when listening and have zero issues.

Agreed I don't usually wear glasses when listening, but do on occasion, and I haven't really noticed a big difference.

I have the Leopardwood VC (also paired up with a Hugo 2 when not using tubes). I find it fine for hours of home working and is a great setup. I listen to quite a few of the same genres you mention too.

My VC is coming soon, but with my other ZMFs I find the pairing with the Hugo 2 pretty great, including the Verite Open. The heaviest ones I've owned I've had no problem wearing them for several hours at a time.

I wear glasses and don't notice a difference, either (but mine have a thin frame).

Thanks guys, good to know. My frame is rather wide and thick, so I am not sure if this applies to me as well, but that is very encouraging.

Its worth noting that I wear very thin wire frames,much to my wife's chagrin. She prefers the thicker framed glasses on me,but I chose the thinnest wired frames specifically for headphone use,so YMMV.

@zach915m

Heres an idea for your next headphone design!

I am concerned that this model, while aesthetically pleasing, may produce audible hiss.

I’ve heard it scales well though...
