What a statement Bluetooth like Bathys Dune is. Through it Focal invites anyone, to listen anywhere. In clear and obvious style. Focal's trademark M-shaped aluminium-magnesium dynamic driver brings you flagship sound on the go. 5 ⭐ came from What Hi-Fi? because "the success of Focal's first effort" isn't surprising. Headfonics say Bathys "represents a serious upgrade on consumer headphone choices from the likes of Sony and Bose", something Digital Trends second.  Wired writes Bathys is Bluetooth "even staunch audio nerds can enjoy". Superb acoustics on the part of Focal's know-how are a given, and the warm, rich and detailed fidelity of Bathys breaks new ground for a portable headphone of its size – wired or unwired. However, what makes Bathys truly compelling is its range of noise cancelling, Bluetooth 5.1, Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive and app-controlled EQ. [See Product Desc. For More] Its name comes from the French word ‘bathyscaphe’, the first submarine exploration vehicle. And Bathys is the embodiment of calm, depth and absolute silence. It's already scooped up TechHive's Editors Choice award, and is ecoustics' favourite noise-cancelling headphone for 2022. Audioholics says Bathys "takes its place among the top sound quality-focused wireless headphones available", and gave it a Product of the Year award. Stuff slapped 5 ⭐ on this Bluetooth beast too. Audiophile-Heaven lauds Bathys. At the cutting edge of tech, but dressed up in finery as a finished product like only Focal can. Blurring the lines between lifestyle and audiophilia has become typical from France's masters of savoir faire. Bathys is proof that Focal has mastered that.  The Bathys design comes inherited from Focal’s open and closed-back audiophile headphones such as Clear MG and Radiance. The earcup grilles repeat Focal’s design language, highly aesthetic curves drawing attention to the company's prestigious logo symbolising style, luxury and belief in better. A white back-lit system beneath the logo may be activated if desired, for an understated, chic effect. Another standout feature of Bathys is its elegant and timeless black-silver colourway, for effortless sophistication. Indeed, this wireless Focal is something you want to be seen with, but also to hear. The comparisons to its bigger audiophile siblings visually are apt, but so are they sonically. Bathys promises a big chunk of Focal fidelity on the move, its M-shaped aluminium-magnesium drivers among the most audiophile-grade mounted in a wireless headphone before.  This driver's stiffness, light weight and damping not only promises you a warm, immersive and authoritative presentation of music in stock tuning. It's also fine ground for EQ to be implemented – and Bathys comes together with EQ pre-sets for listeners to select via the Focal & Naim control app for iOS and Android. Not only does Bathys sound excellent – it can be made yours truly, too, when you select your favourite sound signature.  aptX™ Adaptive ensures wireless transmission stability in most conditions.  Focal added a Silent mode of cancellation optimised for trips with high background noise but let's you switch to a Soft mode to aid concentration at work, while Transparency mode enables you to stay connected to your surroundings. And a USB-C cable gives you the listener the final ability to access Bathys' 24/192 DAC via a computer or phone, when seeking uncompromised fidelity. The sense of completeness in Bathys' package promises that form and function have truly met. Despite its humble entry into the world of Focal, Bathys is in fact one of Focal's proudest Head-Fi releases. And there is much more to explore from Focal for those seeking ever-greater levels of wired sound quality here, and you can also browse all of our Bluetooth headphones here. 

Managing the complicated acoustic design for the Vérité driver in a closed-back headphone may have been ZMF Headphones' toughest challenge to date. But the way they pulled it off with aplomb would have given little hint to that. Expect nearly all the Vérité's beryllium-coated transparency and detail in this closed model, with the benefits of privacy and isolation to boot. Positive Feedback were rendered "speechless at how you achieved the performance you achieved with these". [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 Vérité Closed'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 closed version against its open 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 Vérité is truly remarkable". Stereophile's Herb Reichert says the "Vérités 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". It's rightfully Headfonia's "best-of-the-best in the closed-back world". Make the headphone that made Stereophile's shortlist of Headphone Product of the Year 2020 yours today.

This is the closed-back headphone from ZMF Headphones that everyone's been dreaming of. Bokeh is the first closed-back ZMF that can claim to be truly portable, with its isolation brought on the go with you in backpacks to offices and hotel rooms. It's the same ZMF quality and promise of durability sans unwieldy storage case. With customary lifetime ZMF driver warranty especially important as Bokeh gets put about the rigours of daily life, this is a build and tuning that will stand the test of time. Headfonia rates its effectiveness channeling ZMF's spirit, something Headfonics echo. It's a TechPowerUp award-winner. Brought to a new and affordable price point, the Bokeh is just the latest ZMF that stands to become a classic, bringing their cherished house sound with you on the go whether via USB dongle DAC/amp, music player or small desktop amp. [See Product Desc. For More] A natural step up from Tago Studio's T3-01 that traverses the bus then the desk, the Bokeh combines ergonomic portability with ZMF's traditional ability to scale from sound quality. ZMF's new entry-level is greater than the sum of its parts.  A new 80ohm Liquid Crystal Polymer driver is pushed to its acoustic limits with proprietary ZMF work, in their patented Atrium Damping System (ADS) first found in the flagship Atrium. All this tuning potential in earcup acoustics extends to Bokeh's owners with new Caldera earpads useful add-on options. Caldera pads bear a special fluted, tapered, horn-shaped design that take on the form of acoustic amplifiers. Leather or suede directly contribute to which frequencies you choose to enhance, making Bokeh such a pleasure because ADS makes it so versatile. Bokeh grants ZMF full control over a soundscape, with internal cavity design challenging the physical limits of linear full-range reproduction in closed-backs like never before. Acoustic dampers work closely together with driver mounting position for optimal diffusion effects, allowing ZMF to introduce greater perceived soundstage width and depth.  An incredible amount of fine-tuning took place selecting distances within the cup and damping material for optimal airflow, a five-year research and development process before ZMF deemed Bokeh ready to release to the public. Brought to a new point of cost-effectiveness is an 80ohm LCP driver that is the beating heart of Bokeh. It's a load that's simultaneously easy to drive for any partnering amplifier – such that a studio console, mixer or tube amplifier with varying output impedance mates comfortably with suitable damping factor. In fact, ZMF's newborn showcases a nominally flat impedance and thus exhibits the company's DNA, taking to tube amplification with exactly the same aplomb as its bigger siblings. Apart from frequency response being less prone to variation from impedance mismatch, Bokeh's easy load means many modern bridge-tied load outputs on music players won't grind their gears pushing into inordinately low impedances – small power supplies and output stages producing less in the way of distortion and noise as a result. Bokeh will make for a happy result running from iBasso Audio's DC07 Pro, DC Elite and DX180, but high output impedance, imperfect voltage sources from FiiO and Shanling will not be tested untowardly either – music players from the latter both having enough mettle to push this ZMF very satisfactorily.  Settling down from its travels at its natural habitat that is the desk, Bokeh will continue to display sound that belies its cost, scaling into small desktop amps from iFi Audio and HIFIMAN.  It's this versatility that really elevates Bokeh beyond the generic releases that otherwise dominates the mainstream.

Sony's new WH-1000XM5 headphones with LDAC and industry-leading noise-cancelling rewrite the rules for distraction-free listening and call clarity, building on the legacy they created. 5 ⭐ arrived from What Hi-Fi?. With two processors controlling eight microphones, Auto NC Optimiser for automatically optimising noise-cancelling based on your wearing conditions and environment, and a specially designed driver unit, WH-1000XM5 feels like a breath of fresh air built on a tried-and-trusted Sony formula. From airplane noise to people’s voices, Sony's WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones with multiple microphone noise-cancelling keep out more high and mid frequency sounds than ever. [See Product Desc. For More] And with Auto NC Optimiser, noise-cancelling is automatically optimised based on your wearing conditions and environment. With four microphones on each earcup, WH-1000XM5 is Sony's biggest ever step forward in noise-cancelling. Ambient sound is captured even more accurately for a dramatic reduction in high frequency noise. Thanks to Auto NC Optimiser, noise-cancelling performance is always and automatically optimised based on wearing conditions and external environmental factors such as atmospheric pressure. The Integrated Processor V1 specially developed by Sony unlocks the full potential of Sony's HD Noise-Cancelling Processor QN1. This unique combination of technology controls eight microphones to deliver unprecedented noise-cancelling quality. WH-1000XM5's heritage gets a boost with a new 30mm driver unit featuring a soft edge. The carbon fibre composite material achieves light weight and high rigidity dome for improved sound clarity, especially in high frequency ranges. Unique Sony technologies include an amplifier for WH-1000XM5 yielding premium lead-free solder containing gold for excellent conductivity, Fine Sound Resistor for even power distribution and optimised circuitry for an improved signal-to-noise ratio to ensure clear, consistent sound.

If there was one headphone that could give you a helping of the entire HIFIMAN experience, it would be Sundara. And the next generation Sundara Closed means you can take that enjoyment anywhere with you. It's the quintessential HIFIMAN experience, on top of being one of the most important planar-magnetic headphones to surface in the last decade. "Incredible bass and exciting mids" were the highlight for Ear Fidelity. Headfonics says it's a different perspective of the Sundara legend. "They’re great for picking apart all the little details of recordings (but) don’t sound too bright" says SoundStage! Solo. With its closed beechwood cups for isolation in noisy environments, and Stealth Magnet technology, Sundara Closed is about to carve a niche of its own as one of the most versatile. [See Product Desc. For More] Tuning closely mirrors the original open but fidelity has stepped up. Dynamics crash harder under greater magnetic flux, soundstage expands forwards and mids are just a smidgen more present, via Questyle Audio's M12. Sundara's significance has been cemented thanks to its micron level NEO supernano Diaphragm, for excellent accuracy in the mids and treble. Keeping its large driver under control is no problem for HIFIMAN's double-sided planar-magnetic array. Just that alone wouldn't ensure a completely low-distortion affair, though. HIFIMAN's Stealth Magnet technology shows up here, with a magnet array that claims to be acoustically transparent. Stealth Magnets allow soundwaves to propagate towards your ear with minimal diffraction and turbulent interaction with the surrounding structure.  Sundara Closed's driver meanwhile is the usual low mass allowing for HIFIMAN to produce lightning-quick reaction times and transients. Reproduction of detail and soundstage is never sacrificed, even behind closed backs. Milk all that there is from Sundara Closed on the go and in the office by ensuring it is properly driven by Questyle's M12 and CMA18P current-mode amplifiers; the latter together with iBasso Audio's 4.4mm CB17 or the Nobunaga Labs Advance TPC.

Hear the power of Bose's next-gen QuietComfort® 45 headphones, now with a best-in-class combination of noise cancelling performance and premium comfort, plus proprietary acoustic technology for deep, clear audio. CNET loved what they heard. QC45 comes with exclusive Bose technologies, like TriPort acoustic architecture and volume-optimised Active EQ, to produce everything in high fidelity. The proprietary TriPort design vents the earcups to add depth and fullness — all without increasing their size. [See Product Desc. For More] So you get better sound from this featherweight QC45 that's smaller, lighter, and more comfortable. Plus, volume-optimised Active EQ boosts highs and lows to maintain the same high-fidelity performance no matter how loud or soft you listen. Bass stays consistent when you turn down the volume and the music is still clear when you turn it up. That's all configurable via the Bose Music app, which works alongside six tiny microphones hidden in the earcups to continuously measure, compare, and react to outside noise. That noise is then cancelled with an opposite signal, resulting in fewer distractions – and more of your music. Use the button on QC45's left earcup to choose from Quiet Mode for full noise cancelling, or Aware Mode to let in some of your surroundings. Up to 24 hours of battery life on a single charge means you'll be tuned into your audio for longer. And a glass-filled nylon plus custom cast metal build means your Bose survives the elements longer. Also check out the rest of Bose's builds that incorporate all that technology here, or our other Bluetooth headphones here.

After so many Bowers & Wilkins successes, the PX8 screams competency.

***STOCKS EXPECTED END APR / EARLY MAY The original Bathys defied all existing limitations of wireless sound. This April 2025, the Bathys MG will yet again bring the benchmark of wireless listening a big step up. Focal's new direction to pull in close their and roots in stereo, Hi-Fidelity sound, but to coat it with a bright layer of relevance in today's living. This MG version is the definition of luxury for travellers, audiophiles, and gadget lovers alike. As a result of research and defiance, the Bathys was a huge success and gave reason to the birth of a Magnesium version. // GOOD TO KNOW: •Bluetooth® 5.2 portable headphones with active noise cancelling. •40mm Magnesium speaker drivers with 'M'-shaped domes, made in France in the Focal workshops. •Rich, natural, ultra-precise sound reproduction with powerful bass and crystal-clear treble. •USB-DAC mode: high-resolution sound up to 24bits/192kHz. •Over 30-hour battery life in Bluetooth® mode. Fast-charge function offering 5 hours of listening in 15 minutes. •Refined design and premium materials: genuine leather, aluminium, magnesium. •Focal & Naim APP for precise EQ adjustment and personalised headphone control. •Lightweight, ergonomic design for travel convenience.

For the audiophile gaming or on the go, Sennheiser's HD620S closed-back headphones offer a sanctuary. Forget noisy environments – HD620S's deliver pristine sound that rivals open-back designs. Immerse yourself in rich details, dynamic audio, and Sennheiser's remarkably spacious soundstage, all without sacrificing isolation. Its sub-bass boost not only adds excitement, but benefits low-level listening, ensuring low-frequency extension even when listening soft.  "For a closed-back headphone in this price range, the spaciousness, airiness and openness are just remarkable" to Headfonia. Headfonics says it "thoroughly belongs in the same class as the HD600". "HD 620S will serve up audiophile-quality sound wherever you are" adds Forbes. HD620S's wide, open soundstage thanks to angled drivers, a rarity for closed-back headphones. Sennheiser's bass is present and powerful, yet remains well-balanced. Every detail shines through with ultra-low distortion across the frequency range. [See Product Desc. For More] Vocals are reproduced faithfully, intended to allow you to hone in on detail in that specific band. HD620S's driver delivers exceptional impulse response, ensuring the music attacks and decays with accuracy. The core of the HD620S is a custom-made 42mm driver, crafted in Sennheiser's cutting-edge facility in Tullamore, Ireland.  This driver builds on the smooth, effortless sound of the open-back 600 series, adding a touch of modern airiness for a balanced soundscape with clear highs and deep, detailed bass. Sennheiser's thin and light 150ohm aluminum voice coil delivers crisp transients and instrument decays, resulting in impactful dynamics throughout HD620S's entire frequency range – a win for audiophiles and gamers who crave rich sonic detail. The HD620S boasts a legendary design known for its exceptional comfort, a favourite among audiophiles, gamers, and streamers alike. Its metal accents are not just for aesthetics. The steel backplate effectively isolates sound, minimising internal reflections that can muddle your audio. Sennheiser's cleverly angled baffle promotes airflow, mimicking the behaviour of open-back headphones and recreating the expansive soundstage of a high-end speaker setup in a perfectly tuned room. HD620S's immersive experience places you right in the heart of the action, whether you're enjoying a rare live recording or an intense online multiplayer battle. The trade-off between open and closed-back headphones is a familiar one for audiophiles. Open-back designs offer a more natural sound and wider soundstage, but leak sound and provide little isolation. Closed-back headphones excel at blocking out external noise but often come at the cost of a more "boxy" sound. Use these with any portable source available – anything as small as iBasso Audio's DC03 Pro that swings voltage will drive the HD620S. Step up to the desk with iFi Audio's hip-dac 3 and ZEN DAC V3. And Sennheiser's 150ohms will even suit high output impedance and suspect voltage sources in the studio, providing an accurate response. HD620S represents a breakthrough, achieving the spacious soundstage desired by audiophiles without the drawbacks of typical closed-back headphones. Check out the rest of Sennheiser's releases here, or our other headphones here.

The Caldera Closed is a planar-magnetic revelation not just for ZMF Headphones, but for Head-Fi. Here's a closed-back sister to Caldera Open that packs heaps of reference-level resolution, soundstage and tonal accuracy. Most importantly, its raw detail and way of extracting musical information does not come at the expense of proper musical immersion, or pure, simple fun. Headfonics write this flagship "is a very easy recommendation". It's a TechPowerUp award-winner. Caldera Closed doesn't suck the life out of music as some other closed-back planar-magnetic flagships gone by in recent history have.  Far from being a dead scientific instrument, this ZMF adds on to the fun factor, mirroring its open counterpart's engagement factor behind the privacy of closed cups. Zach Mehrbach's latest Caldera Asymmetrical Magnet Structure (CAMS) and Atrium Damping System (ADS) realisations prove closed-back headphones are no longer inferior to open-backs – they're just differently flavoured, and equally capable. [See Product Desc. For More] Caldera Closed's biggest strength at the drawing board was that it was designed from scratch. While it walked the same path as Caldera Open, Caldera Closed breaks the mould with a cup shape inspired by the rugged, geometric form of a volcanic caldera. Its unique, asymmetrical curves not only look striking, but also allow the exceptional sound of our drivers to truly come alive. With a new asymmetrical magnet array working for – not against or apart from – earcup acoustics, ZMF's original work merged their two biggest technical accomplishments into one headphone. Certainly, CADS birthed Caldera Closed together with the Atrium Damping System (ADS). CADS starts with trapezoidal N52 magnets that shape and optimise airflow either side of Caldera's 80mm planar driver minimising turbulence and phase issues.  It's a volcano-like magnet structure that allows air to naturally spread out, and maintains a slightly asymmetric force making the membrane more nodal, pushing a massive amount of air towards the ear while diffusing it at the same time. Macro dynamics are a given but it's micro-dynamic reproduction that distinguishes Caldera Closed. The traces in proprietary ZMF planar driver film are gold-plated copper, and the diaphragm is coated with silver to maximise excursion along the traces. It's not just sheer driver size producing authority and slam – actual pistonic excursion akin to dynamic drivers reproduces tiny gradations in SPL. This sees Caldera Closed's timbral resolution on par with the likes of its Open, Atrium and Vérité counterparts.  Atrium Damping minimised back-wave cancellation from the rear of the driver, for more pressure to be exerted in a controlled manner towards the ear, carefully away from the back volume at determined frequencies. The smallest details made all the difference to a driver with as much resolution as Caldera Closed produced, and ZMF extended their research to earpads with three depth variances released for a complete ecosystem of accessories. All Caldera pads bear fluting – the tapering of rim thickness and circumference back to front – officially sealing the integral role oft underestimated items play on the ZMF tuning process. Already, Caldera Closed's combination of Atrium Damping plus the horn-like acoustic amplifier its sculpted earpads take the form of ensure substantially better SPL loading of the driver ear-side. With sensitivity at a high 95dB ensured by these added implements, the driver and motor are then freed to focus on mustering as much deep bass extension as possible from the air volume within limited cup enclosures. This is a closed headphone, so naturally it works as meant to from portable sources. Caldera is a call to experiment with amplifiers, so big-small devices such as Cayin Audio's C9ii, HiBy Music's FD5, R8II and RS8 and Enleum's HPA-23RM throw their hat into the ring to work very satisfactorily. At the desk and in a public office, compact voltage sources like that fit the desk only enhance the performance. The solid-state route is straightforward with Questyle Audio's current-mode desktop flagship CMA18. The Cayin iHA-8 and HIFIMAN EF500 are absolutely capable. That's exactly the kind of attention Caldera Closed deserves, the planar-magnetic cherry on the ZMF cake that completes the circle from the very first days Zach Mehrbach spent modding venerable Fostex T50RPs. Caldera is a headphone unlike any other, entering a world of planar magnetics yet not being entirely of it.

A modern classic. Fostex distinguished themselves at the top of the luxury headphones list with TH900 and continue to do so – a pinnacle of sound quality, design and handcrafted build quality.  Whether in striking stock Bordeaux Red, or limited-editions Pearl White and Brilliant Purple, TH900s are instantly recognisable for their hand-applied Urushi lacquer finish. [See Product Desc. For More] This traditional Japanese art form undertaken by the Sa-kamoto Urushi Factory established over 100 years ago earmarks this Fostex flagship as a heirloom to be passed down for generations. Urushi applied over closed-back Japanese Cherry Birch cups allows Fostex to showcase the significance of each TH900, hand-built in Japan. Such allure and prestige invites us to put these featherweight and light-clamp headphones on, to be totally immersed in the incredible sound they produce. TH900 debunks so many myths about closed-back headphones. There is nothing small about the way this Fostex stages, its larger-than-life personality projecting sonic images and soundstage far beyond the confines of its wooden cups. Centre-image and depth are produced especially realistically. These have to be heard to be believed. TH900 grabs you and shakes you in one massive dynamic movement, also thanks to its 50mm driver that moves plenty of air. Made of Fostex's famous Biodyna biocellulose material and guaranteed huge excursion by a 1.5 tesla magnetic circuit, TH900 effortlessly produces the lowest bass. Biodyna is stiff and lightweight as a diaphragm material but also promises excellent damping. Biocellulose allows Fostex to keep the large 50mm driver under control at all times even as frequencies rise, averting any harsh intermodulation due to cone modal break-up. TH900's highs sparkle and breathe naturally, with a transparency ahead of its time for what was capable behind closed cups. Notes start and stop on a dime, transients properly defined without smear or bleed – clearly a low-distortion affair for even-handed and natural music reproduction throughout. Find out why Fostex earned Major HiFi's Gold Award when you listen to TH900 via our music players, and upgraded via PW Audio's No. 5 and No. 10 cables. Also browse the rest of Fostex's artisan handcrafted headphones here, or our other cans here.

Arising from a deep heritage of Japanese analogue audio, Audio-Technica’s high-fidelity gaming headsets continue to deliver a purity of sound that’s all too rare in the gaming world.The packaging - designed by Australia-based Japanese artist Kentaro Yoshida includes an elemental power of earth, which can be related to the grounded, closed-back design of the ATH-GL3 headset – you’ll hear and feel every moment in a game, a song, or a conversation for a true immersive experience. At less than 230 grams, the ATH-GL3 is extremely lightweight, allowing you to game for hours in comfort.

The ATH-A1000Z Art Monitor® closed-back dynamic headphones feature proprietary large-aperture 53 mm drivers to deliver exquisite Hi-Res Audio reproduction. The hand-assembled drivers include OFC-7N bobbin-wound voice coils for ultra-efficient signal transmission, a pure iron yoke for superior transient response, and a top-mounted PCB for smoother airflow that enables precise diaphragm movement. The housings of the ATH-A1000Z are crafted from high-rigidity aluminum and incorporate a lightweight magnesium alloy baffle to reduce unwanted resonance. The housings also feature Audio-Technica's Double Air Damping System (D.A.D.S) for deep, natural-sounding bass reproduction. The bass is further extended by the headphones' stitched, ergonomic earpads, which provide outstanding sound isolation along with unmatched comfort. The auto-adjusting fit of A-T's improved 3D wing support system adds to the comfort, allowing you to listen to the headphones' pure, high-resolution audio for hours on end.

Audio-Technica showcase their pedigree as Japan's best-selling headphone manufacturer with the ATH-AWAS. A closed-back that seems unhindered by its Cherry Asada wood cups, AWAS delivers a huge, believable soundstage with natural detail retrieval from its DLC (diamond-like coated) drivers amidst the isolation promised. Headfonia hail their "warm, inviting, and easy-to-love" nature, helped by the fact they "genuinely have the technical performance to back it up". StereoNET describe AWAS as a perfect lounge headphone "with a gloriously warm, balanced sound that won't offend", something What Hi-Fi? recognise in their own take. ATH-AWAS builds on the legacy that ATH-ADX5000 left on us. When you're done with these hits, view the rest of Audio-Technica's line-up here, or browse our other headphones here.

The perfect balance of on-ear and over-ear, light

This is the open-back headphone from ZMF Headphones that everyone's been dreaming of. Bokeh is the next ZMF that can claim to be portable, its lightweight fidelity a dream companion for your workspace. It's the same ZMF quality and promise of durability sans unwieldy storage case. With customary lifetime ZMF driver warranty especially important as Bokeh Ioen gets put about the rigours of daily life, this is a build and tuning that will stand the test of time. Brought to a new and affordable price point, Bokeh Open is just the latest ZMF that stands to become a classic, bringing their cherished house sound with you on the go whether via USB dongle DAC/amp, music player or small desktop amp. [See Product Desc. For More] An alternative to Audio-Technica's ATH-ADX3000 and Focal's Hadenys, ZMF's new entry-level is greater than the sum of its parts. A new 80ohm Liquid Crystal Polymer driver is pushed to its acoustic limits with proprietary ZMF work, in their patented Atrium Damping System (ADS) first found in the flagship Atrium. All this tuning potential in earcup acoustics extends to Bokeh's owners with new Caldera earpads useful add-on options. Caldera pads bear a special fluted, tapered, horn-shaped design that take on the form of acoustic amplifiers. Leather or suede directly contribute to which frequencies you choose to enhance, making Bokeh such a pleasure because ADS makes it so versatile. Bokeh grants ZMF full control over a soundscape, with internal cavity design challenging the physical limits of linear full-range reproduction –  now with the help of an open-back grille. Acoustic dampers work closely together with driver mounting position for optimal diffusion effects, allowing ZMF to introduce greater perceived soundstage width and depth.  An incredible amount of fine-tuning took place selecting distances within the cup and damping material for optimal airflow, a five-year research and development process before ZMF deemed Bokeh ready to release to the public. Brought to a new point of cost-effectiveness is an 80ohm LCP driver that is the beating heart of Bokeh. It's a load that's simultaneously easy to drive for any partnering amplifier – such that a studio console, mixer or tube amplifier with varying output impedance mates comfortably with suitable damping factor. In fact, ZMF's newborn showcases a nominally flat impedance and thus exhibits the company's DNA, taking to tube amplification with exactly the same aplomb as its bigger siblings. Apart from frequency response being less prone to variation from impedance mismatch, Bokeh's easy load means many modern bridge-tied load outputs on music players won't grind their gears pushing into inordinately low impedances – small power supplies and output stages producing less in the way of distortion and noise as a result. Bokeh will make for a happy result running around the house from iBasso Audio's DC07 Pro, DC Elite and DX180, but high output impedance, imperfect voltage sources from FiiO and Shanling will not be tested untowardly either – music players from the latter both having enough mettle to push this ZMF very satisfactorily.  Settling down from its travels at its natural habitat that is the desk, Bokeh will continue to display sound that belies its cost, scaling into small desktop amps like HiBy Music's FD5, iFi Audio and HIFIMAN.  It's this versatility that really elevates Bokeh beyond the generic releases that otherwise dominates the mainstream.

As part of its commitment to a sustainable society, TAGO STUDIO has decided to launch the "Historic Phone" series of headphones that reuse wood waste.This is a sustainable initiative to create new value by reusing wood that would otherwise be discarded as a material, based on the T3-01, which uses wood for its housing.Our world is supported by many kinds of wood. The lumber that supports our lives and has served us for many years is filled with various histories and the thoughts of the people involved. Our wish is to deliver those precious memories with the best sound. Historic Phone revived with all the time that has passedThe first model in the "Historic Phone" series is a collaboration with Venture Whiskey, the makers of Ichiro’s Malt, the world's finest whiskey. This time, we have reused the scrap wood from the very valuable oak barrels that were used to make the whiskey as headphone housings. Some of these barrels have been used since the days of the Hanyu distillery, and have served their purpose for a long time, maturing the Chichibu distillery’s original whiskey. Some of these barrels have been used since the days of the Hanyu distillery, and some have been used again to mature the Chichibu distillery’s original whiskey. Angel’s ShareWhiskey takes on an amber color after a long aging period of several years to several decades. In the process, the barrels breathe and the amount of raw spirit is gradually reduced, which whisky makers have long called "Angel’s Share" and is the motif of the angel design on the housing.
