Zeosās review.
He says theyāre not neutral, but on Olavās sound tests, the thin pads (now included ā Zeos didnāt have them?) sound quite neutral (and the graph confirms it).

Stock Superlux pads, ew. Thereās no way those would be comfortable long-term, I donāt care how good they sound.

Yeah, thereās a certain point where you just have to prioritize comfort over sound, especially at this price. I donāt know if that would be a viable pad choice, unless you canāt feel your head somehow
Plus it seems to me it makes them obviously too bright, when comparing against his original track. Iād bet the perforated lambskins from Verum or some other perforated option is where these get closest to perfection. Something that maximizes soundstage via FR correction without losing too much of it by getting the driver too close to the ear.

Agreed, the demo sounded too bright for me too with the Superlux pads. A tiny but loud peak somewhere in the treble range.
Oh god, I just realized why these always looked so familiar: that cup profile is an upside down Vodafone logo!

News pads he is releasing. Anyone here try them yet? I may get for comfort reasonsā¦
New Verum One review:

Iām afraid this is going to be a might technical. The tl;dr is that the CSkippy graph youāve presented may be quite misleading on the entire right (high frequency) half.
Long version: If youāre used to looking at frequency response graphs made with a more ānormalā compensation, like the one Rtings uses for example, then this graph will be misleading. If we look further down the page on SBAF where this graph comes from there is another graph comparing the Verum prototype with the Audeze LCD-2 Classic. This allows us to calibrate by comparing where the two headphones fall at their 3 kHz peak. And in fact the Verum peaks at a good 3 dB higher than the LCD-2C does.
In a rare moment of consistency InnerFi, Rtings and Oratory1990 all agree that the LCD-2C has a 7 or 8 dB 3 kHz peak. So this early Verum presumably has a 10 or 11 kHz peak in the 3 kHz region. This takes it out of the recessed upper-mids ballpark ā which is the impression the above graph tends to give.
The Verum prototype is unlikely to be sibilant, but it could well be a bit elevated and irregular in the treble. Without knowing what the compensation curve is that CSkippy used, however, we canāt really know. And whether the headphone CSkippy measured is representative of the current Verum One seems unclear as well.

What about issue with imbalance between drivers? I thought about getting a set but the reviews saying thereās issue with them. If there isnāt an issue where do you buy them? They are inexpensive, think in 300- 400 dollar range.
Itās because they are essentially handmade, and qc isnāt going to be as en established manufacturer. Itās still a good headphone, but itās not going to be exactly the same from headphone to headphone
So you take a chance? Thatās hard to eat. Itās a long distance and probably not cheap to ship back if thereās a problem.
I donāt know about support or returns, but you will generally be taking a larger response then buying something from like zmf or modhouse imo (actually might be similar)
I feel like buying a set. It would make a nice addition to my collection. Surprised they are priced so low.
I donāt really need another large planar, but they are pretty neat
You do have a lot, but for $350 beans it makes a nice decoration at least.
I wasnāt a huge fan of the aesthetic either tbh
It be nice to have headphone from where my ancestors came from.

Reading one of the reviews got me hooked until they added a line for an update saying most horrible cust. service.
