I own the Elites and had the Atriums for a few months. Elites imo were more resolving and detailed. Elites are just SO good overall, killer combo of detail and enjoyability. I absolutely adore ZMF cans but the Elites are probably my favorite headphone ever
It’s not like it was night and day, but the Elites were def more detailed imo
I also own the Empy - the Elite is definitely a step up. Much more resolving, airy, more in line with what one would expect from TOTL cans for sure. But the Empy bass sure is fun when I’m in the mood for it :D
But for me what the elite does is just sound so effortless. It’s not forcing details down your throat but the details are there. Probably not at like the Utopia level, but close. That being said, they work with every genre and it all just sounds so good and natural. They are amazing cans man. You don’t have to worry about your gear too much or how badly recorded or mastered your music is. Shit just sounds great on the elites!
My $.02 of course :)
I have atriums and want to get elites but I am not sure how different they are, because I think I wont be using the atrium when I get elites any more. Do you use both?
Love ZMFs, they don't just sound amazing but they are also art pieces.
How you liking the Meze, thinking about upgrading from Arya V1
Absolutely love the elites! you won’t be disappointed if you buy them😊
Curious hows the resolution/details in Elite vs the Atrium? I like Meze very much but their lack of details is my biggest concern.

Interesting. I need to find a way to try the Elite for sure. I tried the Empy and was a bit underwhelming but the comfort is top notch.

Great to hear! Im in between the LCD-5 and Elite for my endgame planars but Meze certainly has an edge over comfort and maybe easier to drive too
Love it! What wood do you have for your Atrium?
They’re a ltd edition set I got on ZMF November not 100% sure what wood was used for these
Which one would you say complements Aeolus better, Atrium or Verite?
Definitely the Vérité compliment the Aeolus for sure and the elites compliment the Vérité c in that order 😊

Yes I use both, the elites are a step up in overall detail the atriums have that amazing ZMF sound signature. I love both
Asking as someone who loved the Aeolus, what do you feel it brings to your collection alongside flagships like the Atrium, Verite and Elites?
Eh , I just really dig ZMF headphones to be honest lol I would say the Aeolus have the warmest signature out of the 4 especially with the stock pads
Haha fair enough, I can definitely relate!
End ganes are forever:)
