ACOUSTIC MASTERY: The BOKEH headphones have been meticulously honed over a period spanning 5 years, leveraging over a decade of ZMF’s audio research.

TRADITIONAL CRAFT. MODERN ACOUSTICS. Just like the rest of the ZMF line-up, the BOKEH is machined in our state-of-the-art machine shop just outside of St Louis, Missouri and assembled in our workshop in Berwyn, Illinois. ZMF invests in the sustainability, modular function, and unique craft that goes into each of our headphones, making sure that every aesthetic element leads to sonic purpose.

TERMINATE: BOKEH’s 1/8 input jacks allow for our new form factor and for cross platform cables that work with a plethora of other brands. It also allows your cable to pull free without a locking mechanism in case your cable gets snagged on the go.

CHASSIS: Discover the New BOKEH Chassis, a harmonious blend of form and function. Its katana sheath design merges seamlessly with ZMF audio art, offering an extraordinary experience. This chassis is equipped with a 180-degree swivel frame, anodized black aluminum, polished rods, and a cowhide suspension strap that’s as comfortable as it is elegant. And of course, you’ll find ZMF’s signature ‘crescent strap’ for unmatched comfort during extended listening sessions.

 

A. Asymmetric fluted earpads: designed to direct sound through manipulation of physical distance and material resistance. B. Oval opening rotated to ear shape for a more natural fit which better retains sound pressure and sounds more open. C. Varied width wedge profile, allows pad to more fully encompass ear to the Mastoid Bone area behind the ear for a more complete seal. Weak seals lead to lowered bass response and and sound quality.

An evolution of ZMF’s Caldera pads design, BOKEH pads are designed to revolutionize your auditory experience. Crafted with precision and patent pending innovation, Caldera pads incorporate a distinctive fluted design, asymmetrical ear-side hole orientation, and a skewed Z-Axis angle for an optimal seal on the submental space of your neck, ensuring unparalleled comfort and sound.

The driver side's inner diameter can adapt seamlessly to airflow requirements, without messing up your sensory experience via the outer diameter that touches the skin thanks to the fluted design. Tweak the circular axis on the baffle to make these pads your own, so the thickest part matches perfectly with your unique contours.
