I'd be scared to do all those high-end headphones reviews with kids in my house.....................ummm ya sorry about your headphones....................they're not very child resistant..........

Again, this is an incredibly cool piece of tech that surely is very impressive to listen to, but I long ago found that for headphones going above 500-ish dollars is heading into an increasingly ridiculous territory of diminishing returns. This is a case with a lot of hardware categories, but I feel like with audio it’s the most prominent.
Not that I wouldn’t love to own an Orpheus, for example, but it’s more of an appreciation for the sake of it more than any practical considerations.

Do you know if ZMF customers get to see a photo of the wood and finish before they place their order? I wonder if anyone sends back a pair because patterns in the grain of the wood aren't to their liking. I checked out the YT video featuring many of the design options, and the variations in wood are significant.

The various limited editions all have photos and unique names so you pick from a drop-down menu what you want, assuming it's still available.
