[é∙o∙los] — The divine keeper of the winds.
- Shou Sugi Ban European Ash
- Brass Grille and Rods
- Black BBB Strap
The Aeolus is ZMF’s open-back dynamic headphone known for its enveloping warmth, effortless musicality, and spacious presentation. As the open counterpart to the Atticus, Aeolus maintains the rich midrange and punchy low-end of its sibling while expanding the soundstage, allowing air and detail to flow through each note.
This limited edition features European Ash finished in the traditional Shou Sugi Ban method—a Japanese technique that preserves and enhances wood through controlled charring. The result is a dark, richly textured surface with burnt grain lines that accentuate the natural figuring and ribboning of the ash. Each cup is unique, revealing both the strength and elegance of the wood beneath the flame. Brass grilles and rods complete the look, adding warmth and contrast to the deep, organic finish.
Sonically, Aeolus continues to shine with ZMF’s proprietary TPE membrane driver, delivering lifelike dynamics, lush timbre, and extended low-end response. Its tuning invites long listening sessions, drawing the listener into a world that feels natural, emotional, and alive.
Whether you're just entering the world of high-end audio or expanding your collection, the Aeolus in Shou Sugi Ban Ash is a statement in both sound and craftsmanship — a headphone that sings with warmth, breathes with space, and stands out in any lineup.
