The auteur [ō∙tuhr] in film, is a director that creates films that exude one's own personal style. The ZMF auteur is a linear headphone, with a musical personality that allows for infinite audio chain tweaks to find the perfect subjective soundscape.
With the ZMF Auteur Classic, I've revamped ZMF's original open dynamic headphone, and "added" air, resolution, dynamic range and a smoother, blacker sound while retaining everything that the original auteur is. Named to honor the original, the auteur classic is a true original, the first open ZMF, and the headphone we would recommend over all other's if you haven't owned a ZMF before.
Currently, the stock wood for the Auteur Classic is Ambrosia Maple with a Black Aluminum Anodized Grille and Rods. Resin marks, grain lines, ambrosia marks and other natural markings will be present.

Headphones may vary from sample photos due to natural wood variance.
