Congrats Zach on the new release. The design of the cups is stunning, you guys consistently knock it out of the park. Hope to be able to own a pair one day, congrats to everyone ordering day 1!
Thank you Zach for your dedication to the art of honing interesting and musical sonic perspectives through your headphones, and their own sub-tunings enabled by the pads and meshes. As you suggest, I run with a headphone and specific pads for a pretty good while and then when the pads are changed, it’s a “Wow”!! moment, just like having a new headphone in the new presentation which then seems very engaging in contrast to that which I have been most recently accustomed. The pads and meshes add tremendous value to ZMF’s!
I have the Caldera Closed with default pads. Which pads would be recommended for a bit more bass? What about the default mesh? Any advices are welcome, thank you
Thanks! The top only pads make the open a little warmer, only recommended if you want a darker sound on the open, otherwise I'd say stick to the top/side perf.
@@ZMFheadphones Sounds like an interesting flavour! Any changes in the mids and bass? Wouldn't mind a sound signature with the focus shifting more towards the bass and mids
Hey Zach, would the partial perf Caldera pads work well on other closed ZMF headphones? The Caldera ultra perf pads seem to work well for me (on the Aeolus), and would love to try them on my Verite Closed as well.
They likely will in some capacity, admittedly I need to test them in the closed models pre atrium closed that were tuned with different pads from scratch. I'll try to make a video on it soon.
@@ZMFheadphones Thank you, thank you. I feel like there's a lot of discourse around pad options pre-Caldera, but not many folks have tried the Caldera pads on other ZMF headphones. An overview w/ measurements would be super helpful.
You should get an update soon then! We are doing a great job keeping within the order timelines lately, I'm excited for you to get them! Our support email is support@zmfheadphones.com

Is there a spot on the website that tells us what the various pads do for the different headphones?

These are looking great Zach!
Just curious as I own a Caldera open, how do these top perf only pads sound with the open caldera?

Please, please start making Empyrean/Elite pads! People will buy. Meze pads cost like crazy!
