ZMF Caldera — Zebrawood (Stock Edition)

Volcanic Power. Lucid Tone. Designed from the Ground Up.

The Caldera is ZMF’s first in-house planar magnetic headphone, developed after years of research and countless prototypes. For enthusiasts who love planar technicalities but crave timbre, authenticity, and physicality, the Caldera delivers — bringing the best of planar performance with the soul of a dynamic.

Central to its design are two unique ZMF innovations: CAMS (Caldera Asymmetrical Magnet Structure), our patent-pending magnet array that shapes airflow and driver movement, and ADS (Atrium Damping System), which controls reflections and expands spatial depth. These systems combine to create a headphone that is natural, realistic, and believable, yet extremely detailed, coherent, and open.

Expect deep, powerful bass, rich and textured mids, and a clear, articulate treble that maintains musicality without harshness. The soundstage is wide and layered, blending the immersive qualities of dynamic headphones with the precision of planar technology.

The Caldera ships in Zebrawood as the stock finish — a bold hardwood with dramatic striping and creamy figuring. Beyond aesthetics, Zebrawood enhances tonal energy and crispness, complementing the Caldera’s punchy, linear signature. Paired with Coffee Gold aluminum grilles and rods, the result is as luxurious to behold as it is to hear.

Included are our new Caldera Pads, featuring a fluted profile that optimizes airflow and comfort. Available in multiple materials, these pads help maintain openness while delivering precise pressure balance for planar synergy.

With an 80mm driver, 65Ω impedance, and 95 dB/mW sensitivity, the Caldera performs across a range of setups while scaling beautifully with powerful, high-resolution amplifiers.

The Caldera isn’t just another planar headphone — it’s ZMF’s interpretation of planar done right: dynamic, tactile, and deeply musical. For those seeking an endgame planar that feels alive, the Caldera is the answer.
