I am lost for words.absolutely stunning wood. ZMF always knocks it out of park. ZMF are in total end game cans, just depending on your sound preferences are. Kudos to ZMF. Nelley Cain, before I had to have my legs amputated and other complications I made my living not only playing bluegrass, but jazz and rock as well. I love your headphones and have my piggy bank saving away. Kudos to ZMF.
The level of artistry and craftsmanship is exquisite! I've placed my order and am now eagerly awaiting my Atrium Open in canare wood. 😃 Many of you will remember that Saul Goodman coveted his cocobolo desk in Better Call Saul. I myself own a nice bowed psaltery in cocobolo wood.
Ok, this video has TOO MANY exciting ZMF products in it. AEGIS + CALDERA CLOSED + BOKEH OPEN. All I can say is that I'm continually shocked at how ZMF finds new ways to excite me about headphones. I can't wait to hear all of this stuff. It pains me not to be at NYC CanJam!
oooh my... that Zebrawood looks even more stunning on video than on the website. Finally been able to try out the Atrium and Caldera at HighEnd Munich yesterday and fell in love with Caldera (tested on Feliks Elise and dcs Lina). Still thinking about the 3 Pads i want to order it with, might go for Stock, Suede and UltraPerf Lamb.
Just treated my Verite C’s/XI Audio Formula S rig to a Grand Silver Palladium upgrade. Highly recommended! Relax, tubester’s. I’ve spent plenty of quality time with a great Woo Audio WA33 before settling on the XI. When all as said and done, I found the XI’s sound quality to be within a few percentage rating points of the Woo, and other factors (price, convenience - tube amps require commitment) put the XI’s over the top for me, definitely the closest to tube sound I’ve heard in a SS amp.
We're actually using Spectra-Ply for the BOKEH Open stock model, which I believe has been used for Skate-boards, which while isn't recycled skateboards, is a sustainable Eco-Friendly material.
Great new phones although I'm of the opinion that the closed back variety need some type of metal ornament attached to the wood, especially the Caldera closed. No way as large as the open grill although in a much smaller and tasteful manner.
In the closed backs the denser wood has a faster decay and the softer wood more decay and resonance. In open backs the sound doesn't change a lot, but it can be noticed.
Ughh my wallet is sweating again! Those caldera closed and Bokeh opens look amazing ! Very cool look on the Bokeh open grills
I watched this video 5 times now, and I just can' t get enough! Killer stuff Zach!
Zach you did it again! Caldera closed looks amazing! Can't wait to hear it.
Absolutely killing it as always, incredible!

My regards sir, and thank you for carrying the tradition on, Hot Rize and Tim O'Brien are legends. Luck for this great music and thank you!
Beautiful!! Looking forward to seeing it in person in NY!
Love the humor you are putting into these videos. Great intro. :)

The Aegis looks spectacular!
Indeed - it's really just an amazing piece of gear. I always look forward to using it!
Can't wait to try the CC... they look so cool :)
Can't wait for you to try them =)

Ha! Watched this on my HE500s! (current "headphone of the week" in rotation right now). Very cool!
Very excited to hear how the development of caldera closed went, closed planars are so tricky!
Hah - well it was a longer process than anticipated but really enjoyed it. More soon!
Have you auditioned the DCA E3?
See ya in NYC next week!
The auteur classic is my favorite ZMF!

Hey thanks for checking them out! Always good to hear stuff in person.
@@ZMFheadphones indeed, but to clarify my listening experiences and preferences ->
#1 Caldera on dcs Lina
#2 Atrium on Tube
#3 Caldera on Tube
ZMF makes the most beautiful headphones ever made however I will have to imagine how great they sound because my broke a** just can't afford them
Everything looks super fantastic.. wow
Oh boy. Man meets wood.

I have a cocobolo aeolus. Might wait for a softer wood
How do I choose?? I want one of each 😂
Have you by any chance experimented with using recycled skateboards as material for a limited edition? Very interesting to look at.

What is the planned release date for Aegis?
When will we get detailed Caldera Closed video?
Soon! Maybe mid April or so? Looking to release mid to late April ish? Or early may.
You need a NSFW disclaimer for that first 30 secs, sheesh
do different types of wood affect the sound?
In the closed backs the denser wood has a faster decay and the softer wood more decay and resonance. In open backs the sound doesn't change a lot, but it can be noticed.
My wife caught me looking. Trouble.
Who wears the pants in your house?
She does@@TheWorldTeacher
Nice robot.
THIS IS ZMF ROBOT I HAVE TAKEN OVER. PLEASE PAY THE RANSOM AND I WILL RETURN ZACH.
Bro! All this at axpona also?
