Hey BuffaloWing, thanks. I think we can arrange that at some stage 
I noticed you’ve got a beautiful ZMF Verite. The only thing holding me back from getting ZMF is the exchange rate and import duties. As well as the fact that I have never been able to demo them. Did you get charged duties on import?
Was it easy importing the ZMF Verites? Being wood and all…
What? Where do you find a deal like that? I totally would have for only 1000 extra! At the same store here in Australia, the Focal Arche is $3799 AUD…
I’m financially irresponsible as it is, but that would really be pushing it though… 
Plus I already have an RME ADI-2 DAC, so I can’t imagine it being much better if at all. Although the customised profiles for each headphone is certainly interesting.
From headphones.com. Although I get the impression it’s a Focal promotion, so you might want to talk to your dealer.
Damn you Americans’ are lucky! Unfortunately, I don’t think we would a get a deal quite like that here, at least not anytime soon anyway…
You should ask your dealer. I think it’s a deal from Focal and it might be available in Oz as well.
$4000 is $6300 AUD.
When we had the promotion, same one, it was $6500 AUD. Ended few weeks ago.
So about same same, when we had it running.
The current Stellia price is special though, under $3k AUD…
It wouldn’t surprises me that a few eccentric and wealthy audiophiles would use Stellias outdoors but mine are still in their box and they won’t ever see the sun I’m afraid. That said weather and odd fashion are not the only factors at stake. In a large city like mine no one would be suicidal enough to wander the streets wearing $4,000 on their head. May as well wear t-shirts with “Mug Me” printed on them.
Wow, sale on the Utopia’s too. @Username69, time to add it’s sibling to your collection? lol
If you bad ass enough to rock Stellia outside you can rock that shirt. Come at me bro haha.
Haha I wish, I wish! I mean, maybe if I was Richy Rich then I definitely would! Still got to keep the lights on though…
I am neither eccentric nor wealthy, paid my Stellia with my last penny but am wearing them everyday outside (in a big city). No one ever looked strange at me. I think it would have been different ten years ago. But now when every second guy wears beats phones etc. it’s not a big deal anymore. The Stellia still look like new (except the headband has darkened, which I like). I guess it just takes balls ahahahahahaha
They don’t look their price though.
Because to 99% of people, no headphones look that price.
Everyone that going to mug you knows they can get $200 for some beats. No idea they could get $3k for some Stellia.
That’s true. Although my silver cable might suggest something different in price 
Does anyone have any impressions of the Stellia vs. the ZMF VC that they could share?
Here you can find a short comparison:
I have both the Stellia and the ZMF VC. They are both great closed headphones. I plan to use the Stellia at my office, and the VC at home. I found that the VC required lots of burn-in time, about 200 hours before they sounded their best. I found the VC to be more comfortable than the Stellia, due to clamping force on the latter. This may loosen up over time. In terms of sound, the Stellia have an elevated bass, more forward mids, and more pristine treble. The VCs have a larger sound-stage, more warmth, and a very clear and natural presentation. So far, I find that the VC are less fatiguing; I can listen to them for hours on end with great pleasure. When I’m in the mood for a more clinical evaluation of music, I reach for the Stellias. In short, I love both of these headphones, but for different reasons.
They sound like excellent compliments to each other, rather than competitors.
Glad to hear that you enjoy them both.
This my answer when I get asked why I have the same type of headphones.
