D8000 Pro Limited Edition is in the house. Aesthetics and build quality are some of the best I’ve seen in headphones.
Thanks for the headphones.com crew for delivering overnight again! Was pleasantly surprised to learn this is in stock yesterday and already listening to it now.
The 935 looked like it would fit everything (and the posted interior dimensions made it seem that way), but the cutouts for the wheel wells and pull handle intruded too far into the inside of the case so I had to go one size up. Thankfully Amazon has a good return policy and Glazer’s had the 938 in stock so I snagged the 938 during my lunch break.
Please excuse the dirty windows - they are finally cleaning them for the first time since the pandemic started, but they started on the other side of the building.
Didn’t know these existed. Man I need these…They look incredible!! Seriously really really like the look…and how a headphone looks is obviously super important! Impressions needed when you’ve had some time!! Congrats
I’ll be curious what you think about the Eikons, I considered getting a set but they’re gone now. Which is just as well, I have too many ZMFs already!
Correction they are still for sale. When I didn’t see them in the ZMF November section I figured they were gone, since I think he said there were only 20 anyway.
I first plugged the Eikons at my work setup where I just use a JDS Element 3. Now I’ve been listening to Utopia OG and Abyss 1266 a lot lately on my main setup and coming from those 2, at first I was very underwhelmed but understandably so. However, Eikons scaled quite well when I paired them with my Studio B. Obviously they still don’t have the detail of Utopia or the bass of 1266 but that’s not a fair comparison.
Chain : Qobuz → Roon → May KTE → EC Studio B → ZMF Lektrik S → Eikon
The best I can describe them is a bit fuzzy but with a decent stage, more than good but not thunderous bass, well balanced across the FR (to my ear), good tonality and that usual ZMF warm-ish neutral house sound that is very subjectively musical to me and makes me keep returning to their headphones.
Overall I’m quite happy with them at the price I got them, especially for a closed back which I don’t have many of. I like having variety during a 5-6 hour listening session and these definitely provide that and they are definitely super comfortable and easy on the eyes so grab em while they last!
