    Well guys, here's the moment I've been waiting for: My Auteur review. (Also, as a note, I do get a “reviewer” discount. And I am good friends with Zach, so keep this in mind.) As you guys already know, the Auteur is Zach’s new open-back flagship that uses the same 300 ohm biocellulose drivers. It is built, more or less, with the same structure as the Atticus and Eikon, but with some changes to the pads and the wood cups. The pads come in two sits: One is the Auteur pads with a larger “earhole” and the Eikon perforated pads (don’t use these with the...

    Introduction Well guys...it is time. Time for the review a lot of you have been waiting for: The ZMF Eikon. This beauty is made with a biocellulose dynamic driver covered by Cherry wood housing. The best part? It doesn't have weird tuning choices! For this review, I used a NFB-11 and a Decware OTL. Also, as a fun note, I'm keeping all Atticus vs. Eikon stuff for the end. Build Quality and Comfort [Word of warning: You can skip this if you've read my Atticus review. It is the same paragraph, as they use the same kind of frame to build off of.]...
  3. ZMF Headphones Atticus dynamic TPE driver over-ear full size headphone

    Introduction Here we have it folks: The first up of Zach's two all-ZMF dynamic headphones: The Atticus. The Atticus uses a TPE driver housed in some awesome wood cups to deliver the very epitome of ZMF House Sound. Build Quality and Comfort Much like the Omni, Vibro and Blackwood before it, the Atticus uses wood cups that provide a gorgeous aesthetic while keeping the handmade feel one comes to expect form the ZMF brand. However, the Atticus is a step up above all three of those in build quality. Since this headphone is entirely designed by ZMF, it...

    The Introduction   Well, lovely citizens of head-fi, I am finally ready to bring you the review of the new T50RP mod by ZMF Headphones, known as the ZMF Omni. It is a semi-open headphone that uses wooden cups and driver modifications to make a headphone that does not resemble the original all that much. If you want to see pictures, here is my impressions thread from reddit.   I have, in my mind, owned the headphones long enough that the initial hype has worn off and I can bring you a mostly level headed opinion of this headphone. Also, so that I...

    Introduction   Hello everyone, it sure has been awhile. I've had these headphones for a little over a week and a half now after a five week wait (which was not Zach's fault...I'll elaborate on that later,) so I now feel I have a non-hyped, unbiased view of these headphones I can share with you safely without falling into the unfortunate spiral of hype train nonsense that the Alpha Prime subjected me to. I'm not going to spoil the fun here, so no intro-TL;DR. Also, I'm going to include the Blackwood impressions and the reason I'm not going to do...
  6. ZMF Blackwood

    Introduction   Hey there guys! After three months of listening and waiting, I finally got the new lamb leather pads and can do the review. The ZMF Blackwood is a T50RP mod that changes a lot about the headphone: It uses African Blackwood, has driver modifications, and completely changes the original headphones' sound signature to something completely new. It easily stands with the three closed headphone giants (the Fostex TH900, Ultrasone Pro 8, and the LCD XC) at the fraction of the cost.   The Pre-TL;DR: This is a very organic, laid back...
