I’d be curious to hear the brighter tuning, which apparently does that but to an unknown extent. I think almost all online reviews have so far been of the standard/flat tuning or have simply not commented. I think the tuning options are a somewhat recent possibility that wasn’t there when they first set up shop.
I dont think I did. I got the Utopia around the same time as the VO and they overtook them and became my go to. I did put out a pad rolling review with Utopia comparisons, I think in the VO thread somewhere but I dont feel I did a individual look at the VO. ZMF Vérité - Open-Back Dynamic Headphone - Official Thread - #1015 by perogie Its a monstrosity of a write up and the VOs would have been burnt in as I just ran stuff through them for a few days when I got them.
As for the treble - although in general I found it more to my liking on the VO in comparison to the Rad, being that there was more definition and bite to it, the VO is very capable of generating a resonance in the higher registers that is just plain awful.
It happens with both the Uni and Be2 pads (haven’t heard it with the V pads but they are my least worn pads). The Rad never approached this kind of unpleasantness - very calm and relaxed treble (which isn’t exactly my thing but I can see others liking it, a bit boring to me). The resonance is not a common occurrence, so I dont want to convey that as I dont think I mention it in the pad review, but the VO is more prone to harshness to my ears. May be a wood thing? Mine are camphor. Not sure if any of this is helpful.
