Good to know, which of these have the larger soundstage in your opinion?

However among all the Aeolus has by far the deepest and most beautifully holographic stage. Another great dynamic headset I've had is the Pioneer Master SE1

Compared to the 1000 V2 maybe a little wider but I'm going to memory

Thanks for inform, as the ZMFs have a smaller drivers the the HE1000 line I though they had a smaller soundstage.

This site have a interesting system to meter the soundstage size, see the PRTF Distance value:

Unfortunately no ZMF phones tested yet.
