ZMF Headphones Verite Open

The mastery of beryllium as a driver material in the V¨¦rit¨¦ underlined ZMF Headphones ‘ credentials as an elite headphone manufacturer. With the advantages of one of audio’s most coveted materials at hand, ZMF set out to build a statement flagship with all the speed, transparency, scale and dynamics in the world. Reference lovers, rejoice! [See Product Desc. For More] Its driver starts with a sandwich driver core of softer plastic PEN for effective damping at higher frequencies, this surface being coated with beryllium for the metal’s stiffness, lightness and air acceleration properties. That means V¨¦rit¨¦’s driver moves as a perfect piston over all frequencies up to and above its working range, keeping distortion down due to cone and modal break-up . Audiophile Style compared the open version against its closed brethren, publishing a comprehensive study complete with measurements to conclude “they’re as good as anything on the market today” and what “ZMF have achieved with the V¨¦rit¨¦ is truly remarkable … whether ZMF wanted to create a headphone that could comfortably go head-to-head with Focal ‘s Utopia , he succeeded”. Stereophile ‘s Herb Reichert says the “V¨¦rit¨¦s come closer to [Sony’s] MDR-R10s in basic sonic character than any other headphones I’ve auditioned … may even exceed Sony’s cult classics in their illusion of speed and transparency”.
