ZMF Bokeh Closed
Perfect isolation. Compact. True ZMF sound.
The Bokeh Closed is a modern take on the classic ZMF house sound: warm, musical, and naturally timbral – paired with a lighter, more compact chassis for greater flexibility and semi-portable use. Versatile, easy to drive, and technically impressive.
While the open version is tuned more neutrally with extra air and openness, the Closed leans into a warmer, more intimate signature – ideal for focused listening with maximum isolation. Both variants share the ZMF DNA: musicality, spaciousness, and a natural presentation.
Built from Black Limba as the standard wood and combined with premium leather and precisely machined metal components, the Bokeh Closed reflects ZMF’s craftsmanship at its finest. The oval cup design ensures long-term comfort, while Caldera-inspired Bokeh Pads optimize both isolation and sound.
With an 80-ohm driver and the specially tuned Atrium Damping System, the Bokeh Closed delivers a surprisingly open stage for a closed-back design. It pairs beautifully with portable devices and scales up clearly with powerful desktop amps.
An ideal entry into the ZMF world or a highly versatile all-rounder: the Bokeh Closed combines comfort, flexibility, and ZMF’s signature musicality.
Standard wood: Black Limba

Frequency response
What does this mean?
The line marked as target is something you could call the “ideal” curve: a target response derived from research by the Harman group, exploring what kind of headphone tuning tends to be preferred by a broad range of listeners – regardless of age or demographics. This is often referred to as the Harman Target.
From left to right you see sub-bass, bass, mids, and then the curve tilts upward where treble begins. That part of the spectrum is naturally amplified by the shape of the human ear.
Sub-bass sits on the target, the bass follows the target curve. The lower mids are neutral, the presence region around 3 kHz sits far below the target. The treble is clearly tuned more relaxed – never sharp, easy over long sessions, above 10 kHz the curve rolls off. Left and right channels track each other closely, a sign of careful driver matching.
