2 reviews for ZMF Verite Open Headphone
Verite is one of the best open back headphone . The build quality is awesome! Bass is very good, slightly warm, treble is well extended, mid is excellent! I highly recommend! Thank Goldfinch!!!
I bought the Verite from Sunder over a month ago. The pictures on the website do great justice to the headphone and hence I will not post any pictures on my own. The headphone comes with two sets of pads in a nice-looking wooden box.
My listening chain is as follows:
Source: PI2AES (with a HDD containing my music), connected via AES to
DACs: Dangerous Music Convert 2 (or) Schiit Gungnir Multibit (or ) Schiit Modius, but mostly the Convert 2,
Amps: AmpsandSound Mogwai SE or Auris HA2SE.
Since the Convert 2 is a pro-audio DAC, I use a bump box from Rolls to convert balanced to SE. My only genre of music is rock - Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Deep Purple, Tom Petty etc..
The Verite is unlike any other headphone I've ever heard (in a very good way). While it is an open headphone, it does not sound "that open" compared to the Focal Utopia or any of the Senneheiser HPs (BTW, I only listen to open headphones). The Verite has its own sound (it is a darker-sounding headphone) and its own coloration and what a seductive coloration it is. This headphone is the one to use when you just want to kick back, relax and be immersed in the music of your choice.
Going through the FR, let's start with the low end. Bass is very well extended and tight (but not as tight as the Utopia). The overall presentation is very desirable. The bass does not overpower the mid-range and that is the amazing part of this headphone. There are gobs of detail on top and resolution is outstanding. Overall both macro and micro dynamics are very very good. Treble is smooth and well extended; however I cannot hear past 12KHz so there's that. People with tinnitus do not need to worry. The driver is fast and contributes to the clean sound overall. I find that dark headphones like the Audeze LCD 2 tend to sound a little muddy.
The Verite scales very well. I have tried it with OTL's like the Zana Deux Prototype, the Feliks Audio Echo and with the SET amps mentioned
in my chain. I love the pairing with the Auris SE as I find it the most "musical" as the amp imparts a bit more sweetness comparatively.
Overall, this is a great headphone with wonderful technical abilities yet with a seductive tonal coloration that will entice and keep listeners involved in the music for a lengthy, fatigue-free listening. And oh, you will not feel the weight at all as it is very comfortable. One word of caution: do not expect this headphone to be that forgiving of bad recordings.
Happy listening !!
