The ZMF house sound, by the numbers
Across the 16 measured models, the most common tuning is bright (4 of 16, 25 percent). Next most common: warm (3), bass-heavy (3).
The model that needs the least correction is the Verite Closed, with no band more than 2.4 dB from neutral. The one that needs the most is the Bokeh S2 (suede earpads), off by up to 5.2 dB before EQ.
