ZMF Headphones - Official Thread

I went to the same dentist for over 30 years. He was a very upbeat, positive guy, but every time I saw him I was going to get hurt (a lot). So one time I sat in the chair, then leaned forward with a very serious expression and said, “Is it safe?” He lost his mind.

“Why’d you have to go and say that? I lost more business because of that f’in’ movie…”

I smiled. My job was done.

That was evil of you!

I went and searched that movie on Amazon, it’s on Prime! I have to re-watch it now, it’s been years! I had totally forgotten Steve Gutenberg was the reporter in it, he’s practically a child he looks so young! But it was made in 1978… Great, great movie with fantastic cast.

Boys from Brazil if it hasn’t clicked for anyone and they’re wondering WTH we’re talking about.

Apparently it’s not safe after all … you got the wrong movie title.

You’re both right! Brain fart!

Still, Boys from Brazil is another great movie, with the immortal Laurence Olivier (and of course Gregory Peck).

See what happens when you get old? Senior moment!

I get what you’re saying. I was just curious when you said the Atrium Closed has “the greatest addictive potential” if you were including the open models as well.

As you know I have the Atrium open and just bought the Bokeh, but if I’d known the Atrium Closed B stock would be so deeply discounted, I might have considered it instead as I do love my Atrium. Do they even sound similar or just have the same driver?

Eh it is what it is. I’ve had similar experience with closed backs as @generic and @pennstac, so I’m more comfortable gambling $1100 than $1900 anyway. I will, of course, post here when I have had some time with them but as they are the LTD, I don’t expect to that to be until 2025.

I think that @Lothar_Wolf may be referring to the fact that he exclusively buys the ZMFs that have been made from the wood of trees that had been inhabited by Dryads in the Black Forest. Thus the closed-back takes on an almost well not almost… intimate tone of a sexy wood nymph whispering in his ear. Whispering things most inappropriate. Things like “I think you’re hotter than THOMAS MÜLLER or LEROY SANÉ. Love me with the skill that NOEL ASEKO NKILI has in midfield. You may tend my goal like MANUEL NEUER.”

Ha, I was in the middle of nowhere in camping with the wife. By the time I’d managed to get any signal all the Bokehs had gone. Oh well, I don’t need any as such…

Today is launch day for the Bokeh Open, if anyone is interested. It’s $100 off for the first 250 units.

@Lothar_Wolf? :grin:

I have a loaner Bokeh Open (which I can’t bring myself to refer to as “BO”) which by late this afternoon will have logged ~75 hrs burn-in. This burn-in station does not feature my best gear, not even close, but already, with the stock mesh & hybrid pads on, I hear real brilliance from this driver.

Tomorrow night I’ll bring this headphone up to the main system to hear what’s what.
