ZMF – Ori 3.0
The ZMF Ori 3.0 reimagines ZMF’s very first closed-back planar headphone with modern technology and craftsmanship. Featuring an 80 mm planar driver, CAMS magnet system, ADS damping, and torrefied Black Limba cups, the Ori 3.0 delivers thunderous sub-bass, liquid mids, and smooth, airy highs. With 27 possible tuning variations, it’s a versatile and powerful evolution of a ZMF classic.

THE POINT OF ORIGIN—AGAIN.
In 2015 I took a humble T50RP and turned it into the Omni, then begrudgingly it was renamed the Ori. A decade later we’re back at the beginning with our own driver, our own tech, and a headphone that’s ZMF from the inside out.
Ori 3.0 is the proprietary modern take on a closed-back planar with macrodynamic slam, liquid mids, and airy, effortless treble—now powered by ZMF’s latest CAMS magnet system, ADS damping, and Caldera earpads.
Machined in our state-of-the-art headphone CNC shop in Collinsville, IL from Torrefied Black Limba and hand assembled just outside of Chicago in Berwyn, IL.
The result is fast, full-bodied, and unmistakably ZMF.
PAIRING NOTES
Ori 3.0 is 60 Ω / 95 dB/mW and scales with clean current. It sings from good dongles and DAPs, but a quality desktop amp (solid-state Class A or a well-matched transformer-coupled tube) will open dynamics and staging.
As always, synergy rules—trust your ears.
WHY TORREFIED LIMBA?
Heat-treating Black Limba boosts the stiffness-to-weight ratio and stabilizes the cup. That means faster transients, perfect decay, and wood that ages beautifully. Each set is unique—grain, chatoyance and hue will vary.
That’s the magic of real wood.
