I see, afraid on the comfort and being too similar to HD6x0 series. Seems like Auteur fell abit short of technicalities too... Looks like Verite has a vastly improvement in overall.

Comfort wise is subjective, but for me i find it a bit heavy as it is nearing the 500g weight. Definitely not that similar to the HD6X0 series, the Auteur has a much better bass extension & slam and also treble extension. It doesn't roll off like the 6X0.
Technicalities depends on what you are comparing to, if to 800S then yes definitely not on par. But tonality and timbre the Auteur is one of the best to me.
VC is much heavier and obviously more expensive. Technically it is better, but sound signature is of course different as well. Only reason why i didn't consider getting VC is the weight.

Yup, i feel like keeping my hd6xx and Auteur will probably make my HD6xx irrelevant. I mean music genre wise. So, i am more inclined to choose a pair that is more analytical.
I picked ZMF mainly because of bad experience with planar driver failure and ZMF have a lifetime warranty on driver. Right now having a hard time deciding between VC and VO. Apparently VO is lighter than Auteur in general with its Magnesium chasis.
Like all closed back headphones, i am afraid that it may not be well ventilated. Especially in places like Malaysia, sweat and the pressure feeling around my ears will be a deal breaker. However, it seems like VC is more well received in terms of sound quality.
Will probably go for the opened back, comfort is more important
