Yeah. Jealous. Those are beautiful and complement the wood very well.

Has anybody tried painting the metal "grills" (is that what it's called?) on their Aeolus? I saw some copper and bronze variants in the brochure that came with mine, and fell in love, but ZMF doesn't offer those for sale any more.

Man, I would love to have a listen to my Aelous powered by some tubes. I posted in this thread a week or two ago about my generally positive impressions, with the caveat I expected a little more warmth and a little more punch based on everything I'd read. I did end up reaching out to ZMF, and...

That is good to know. As I have been thinking about it, a DAC with *only* a single USB input isn't quite what I'm looking for. And call me shallow, but those bulbous tubes in the WA6 and DarkVoice are just so aesthetically appealing. I have actually been spending a good amount of time again...

Thank you for this. Speaking of Woo, I’m going to assume most folks would consider something like the WA6 as superior to the dark voice? I’m curious what exactly that means in the context of a tube amp, if it’s the tube providing the power? I also really like the look of the WA7 and the *idea*...

You know what, I didn’t even think about the DAC. At the moment I’m just using the analog out of my Bluesound Node. Looking back at when I first bought the 58X and was wowed by its bass, I would probably have been using a Schiit Fulla 2 as DAC from my pc. Unfortunately the USB input on that...

Hello there! I am a relatively new owner of a set of Aelous headphones, purchased new from ZMF. There is a *lot* I like about them (mids, highs, looks, comfort, ZMF as a company, etc) - however the one thing that's been nagging me ever since I started listening is the sense that I'm not...

I've gone through a couple of PUBG + Discord sessions with a few other folks. Initial comments from them were that I seemed quieter than before (HE-4xx + Modmic), and that there was a lot of nose-breathing coming through. I pushed the mic further out from my face and turned up the input volume...

I received my Mobius last Friday. I felt compelled to send a simple note over to the folks at Audeze to let them know how pleased I am. Here's the note I sent: "Received my Mobius a few days ago, and just wanted to let you folks know I'm in love. Seriously exceeded expectations, especially...

Actually I'm also interested in the new Creative Aurvana Platinum, but unwilling to purchase one without any impressions at all on the sound.

I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones.  They've got to be closed (and sealed.  No sound leakage allowed), circumaural, and they need to sound great straight out of a mobile phone and laptop.   I have tried a number, and some sounded pretty good while not really being what I'm looking...

I auditioned the P7, Momentum (around-ear), and Bang & Olufsen H6.  Sound-quality wise, I would rank them Momentum > H6 > P7.  Comfort-wise, H6 > P7 > Momentum.  The P7s certainly looked luxurious, but the leather pads were actually pretty stiff.  The Momentum and H6 have ridiculously soft and...

I just want to note that these were only my observations.  I know there are *many* people (hi-profile reviewers included) who love the Bowers & Wilkins set, and I wouldn't blame them.  They are pure sexy luxury in both looks and sound.  But I can't help but form opinions when I'm directly...

I know each headphone has their own respective thread(s), but I thought it made sense to start a new one with my specific question.  Feel free to publicly admonish me if you think I'm wrong :-)   So, I'm turning 30 here in a couple weeks and want a nice set of headphones.  I went to the local...

Not to rush anybody, but I am intensely interested to hear some first impressions of these.  I can't help but think they sound fantastic, the comfort factor is more a worry for me.

I would be interested to hear your opinions on these vs the Harman Kardon BT.

Yeah...I'm a big fan of their ms01, and was secretly hoping they'd come out with a non-IEM set.  I'm a little bit bummed that these are on-ear, but I'm tempted to wish myself a happy 30th with these anyway...

My first pair was wholly unremarkable, and I passed them off as rubbish.  I happened to try out another pair at a local store a few months later and the difference was astonishing.  I ordered another pair and they sounded *so* much better than the first pair.  The first pair was just as you...

I am *very* anxious to hear more of your thoughts on these headphones.  I have a set of Harman/Kardon's CL headphones, and have very little to complain about sound-wise, but there's enough clamping force that for me they become quite uncomfortable after about 45 minutes.  I'm hoping the...

Yeah, it's tough to say for sure without hearing what they should sound like.  For what it's worth - the difference I heard was pretty much across the whole frequency range.  Everything just sounded about 10 times as lively and realistic as the pair I returned.  Bass was actually very present...

I hadn't even considered that they might have been defective. After reading through this thread, I went to a local store and had a listen. They were like totally different cans. Extremely pleasing sound, and now I'm considering another pair. The consensus is that one of the cables is junk?

Quote: You are not the only one.  I tried them out, and had high expectations but was completely underwhelmed with, among other things, anemic bass and improperly weighted acoustic instruments.  I am not a basshead, I absolutely love my HD201s which people often accuse of having too little...

After some longer listening - I noticed that there is still a slight frequency range hump in the bass regions.  I think the dynamat narrowed the range, but increased its ferocity and resonance somehow.  It's only been noticeable for me in 1 out of 25 songs I've listened to, but it's quite...

Specifically - the bass issue a lot of people have noted.  It isn't the bass impact that's my problem, but rather there seems to be a limited frequency range that's just way too present, think bass guitar notes.  It's bad enough in my opinion that it makes the music it happens in unpleasant to...

Any more impressions?  Would people recommend going for these over the D600?  I've been trying out the D1100, but even after some tinkering I couldn't get it to sound as good as I'd like.
