Product Overview & Specifications
The ZMF Vérité Open is a reference-class open-back dynamic headphone engineered to deliver exceptional speed, natural decay, and micro-detail resolution. Named after the cinema style that emphasizes realism and truth, the Vérité Open employs a proprietary 300-ohm dynamic driver featuring a ultra-thin vapor-deposited Beryllium diaphragm. The driver is set deeper into the acoustic chamber and angled precisely toward the ear, managing internal enclosure reflections to reproduce the authentic room decay of a live performance space with instantaneous transient speed.
Hand-crafted with natural solid Sapele wood finished in a vintage mahogany stain, each headphone is paired with pre-oxidized aged copper grilles and metal rods for a distinct aesthetic finish. The high 300-ohm nominal impedance allows for seamless pairing with high-end OTL tube amplifiers and desktop solid-state gear. Accompanied by two sets of perforated leather earpads for custom acoustic tuning, the Vérité Open comes complete with a rugged Seahorse carrying case and ZMF's lifetime driver warranty.
