ZMF Aeolus Ltd - Stabilized Blue Resin Flake Open Back Headphones

Aeolus, known as the divine keeper of the winds in Greek mythology, is our answer to those wanting an open version of the Atticus.

The Atticus, since its release in late 2016, has been known as a rare audiophile headphone that provides an impactful mid-bass experience while still leaving the mid range forward, lush, detailed and beautiful.

The Aeolus, keeps with this tradition and furthers the vision of the Atticus by providing a smoother, more linear response, with better extension on the bottom and top end.

This very special finish is Blue Stabilized Resin Flake, and accented by Chrome Steel Rods and Grill and Blue BBB Strap - is chosen for its superb machining, sanding and finishing properties, as well as its medium density for a nice fast sound. Its also beautiful!

What are sonic advantages of ZMF's stabilized resin flake design ?

• Greater material consistency – Stabilizing wood with resin fills pores and voids, creating a denser and more uniform cup material. This can reduce unit-to-unit variation compared with natural wood.
• Improved damping characteristics – The resin-wood composite alters how the cup resonates, resulting in slightly cleaner decay or a more controlled presentation.
• Environmental stability – Stabilized cups are less affected by humidity and temperature changes, helping the headphone maintain its intended acoustic behavior over time.
• Lower unwanted resonances – Depending on the specific wood and resin ratio, the increased density can shift or suppress certain cup resonances.
