I had a ZMF Atticus back in the day and liked the natural, musical sound to it. Despite being a "warmer" headphone in the ZMF lineup, it just didn't hit as hard as my Fostex TH-900. When I read early reviews about the ZMF Bokeh being comparable to -- and/or better than -- the Fostex TH-900, I jumped on a launch set. Got them, listened to them. Liked them (a lot) -- but I can already tell that the TH-900 is still going to get the dominant head time. FWIW, I didn't even burn them in or pad swap to the extra pads I bought or try the tuning kits. My "receipts" included. After giving it a short whirl, they either sat on my handcrafted headphone stands and/or back in the box next to my bed, not getting the love they deserve. Read the reviews -- they're amazing cans, but I can't justify having two $1,000+ headphones for as little as I listen to music.

These were a late batch from the launch kit -- then I had to wait like three months. The price shown is what I paid -- which was $100 off what they go for now. So buying these new would be ~$1200 ... and no wait.

I have loads of feedback here as well as AV Exchange (~40 by the same username) and 1185 on E-bay at 100% with the username that matches MY name -- jasonmschoellen.
