So who is buying!?
I know I am tempted.

I definitely have my eye on one pair in particular. Will be mulling for the next 24 hours.

I made a tier list of three. Not sure how fast the mofos sell.

Oh, it’s fast alright. You better be quick too. Although with the batch right now, there aren’t that many standouts as the last ones. They’re all still lookers tho.

I’m positive I’ll get sniped on the one I’m looking at haha - although only having one I’m really into is kinder on my wallet. If it’s there it’s there, if not it wasn’t meant to be.

If you’re, uhhm, not particularly stable–are you allowed to buy a stabilized ZMF headphone?

Well all right! Good to know.
I have been looking at the Verite and have no quality closed backs, so I think I will close that gap.

Oh man. There’s one that is just outstanding. No doubt that’ll get snapped up tout suite!

We’ll have to compare notes later to see if we were all jonesing for the same pairs :joy:

I’m glad I have an Olive Wood LTD VC on order so I can’t get tempted by these stabilized, they sure are beautiful.

Good luck to all those getting ready for the release!

Gorgeous! I didn’t know they did custom wood choices!

I think a while ago Zach did some custom orders for people but I think they’re too busy now to do too many customizations. Olive Wood was the last limited release of VC, my order was right at the end of the run.

Ahhh, gotcha! I have my eye on a couple of the big drop, but I am actually quite fond of the look of the current run and can always go that way happily.

Just curious - is there a reason shipping is estimated at 6-12 weeks for the stabilized VCs? I was under the impression these VCs are already crafted (but I could be totally wrong about that - and if so, probably better for my wallet!).

I believe they do this as they want to show the potential buyers what the headphone will look like aesthetically when completed- as that is the main difference in buying LTD’s vs the stock models and hold off on doing the Driver matching/ QC things at the end for time’s sake. (i’m sure there is a much more technical/detailed explanation for this) That and the fact that their other headphones don’t take a backseat on production while the Stabilized sets drop.

I could be wrong but when I received my Stabilized VC, it was about 6 weeks from my order until I got them, and honestly it was part of the fun of ordering any ZMF personally- the wait on the ā€œyour order has shipped! emailā€.

Congrats to the lucky winner of the Atoll pair! Those were beautiful and I just missed out, hope they’re amazing!

My VCs in Olive just arrived today, so doing anything more than window shopping was off the table, but I found myself drawn to the Mare Nostrum, even though that’s not usually my style (I would’ve jumped on the Alluvium, too). Congrats to all the lucky purchasers!

How long did it take for the SVC lot to be sold out?

Less than 8 minutes …
