ZMF BOKEH - Closed Back (Semi-Portable)
May 16, 2024 at 5:23 PM Post #2,431 of 2,489
I was considering the Caldera lambskin thick for my Bokeh. But they are perforated. Is that bad for the Bokeh?
I can try that after work tonight. I have both the pads and Bokeh :) I actually tried all the Bokeh pads on the AC and CC last night, but didn't want to introduce the Bokeh headphones into the comparison. Exterior perforations should be ok with the Bokeh, just not interior perforations.

That's just my impressions. The Bokeh has deeper bass and is more lively than the Atticus to my ears. Especially on my Feliks Echo Mk2 tube amp.
I'm not doubting you, but only the AC has bigger bass than the Atticus in my experience. I recently received the Bokeh and I was expecting bigger bass than it has, so it's a bit odd that you're perceiving it as vice/versa.

Well I'm not sure what the issue would be then. Just seems to me that the Bokeh is more full sounding than the Atticus. Especially on tubes.

Are the suede pads perforated? That could make the Atticus sound very thin. Or a myriad of other oddities.

Definitely send them in for a quick check up if desired and we will make sure we get them to spec. Atticus is a very warm headphones for sure.

Just got these in! Great timing as i’m getting ready to travel. These and my iBasso stack will be joining me in my travels. Haven’t listen to it yet, still burning in the Auteur and Caldera.

edit: ok, I lied, I had to get a couple of songs in. I’m liking it so far listening to The Beatles.

Ibasso stack with Bokeh will be awesome. You will have bass impact that will be second to none.
I'm using PB5 with my Walkman

This song on the Bokeh, oh my...

In an attempt to show the difference between my Bokeh and Auteur Classic, if there is a song the Bokeh can sing to Auteur Classic, this is the song. 😎

Those headphone stands are great, but have been discontinued for a while now sadly. I do have eyes on maybe a stabilized Salire, or a mega Salire (or both) depending on what ZMF brings to CanJam London though. In the meantime, you could also just use the case as a makeshift stand lol:

:relaxed: no, no, the case is not a stand.
Indeed they are very nice. The white color is as well a good choice, although i noticed the stand after i posted the comment. Almost invisible. Or i am getting blind :beyersmile:
I am waiting for the AC LTD 2024, but wil not use the case. Strictly for home usage only.
