I picked up one of these specifically, I have some Purple Heart planks leftover from my audio shelf build...so I’ll try my hand at creating a headphone stand from them...it will be nowhere near as polished as your work though, hence me picking up one lolZMF HP stand in the house.

I think the Aeolus would be closer in “sound” to the 6xx but they are different tiers/flavors lol, so keep that in mind. I’ve written up a review of the LCD-X, and found it very neutral and more of a reference style sound. If you are looking for fun sounding while still having great imaging, tone, stage etc, my preference is the Aeolus...plus the Aeolus is more unique and once again in my opinion a better looking headphone. It is heirloom levels of quality =) also you can email ZMF and see if they have any b-stock and save a lil bit of cash. =)Hey folks - first post here, but hoping for some advice. I'm going for my first upgrade from the 6XX, and while I was previously looking at LCD-2C or Elex, I had a fortunate month and am now able to go straight to what I think will be my personal endgame, and I'm looking at either Aeolus or the LCD-X. However I'm not in a position to be able to test them, as no retailer in Ireland stocks Aeolus or has LCD-X on demo, and I want to make sure I'm getting the right set for me before I drop that much money on a pair of headphones.
To that end, I'd appreciate if folks here could help.
What I like about the 6XX: Vocals! I'm a huge fan of vocals, and the forward vocals of the 6XX are super enjoyable to me, particularly on acoustic tracks.
The music I listen to: A good mix, but I really like my metal and soundtracks. I like some EDM as a guilty pleasure. Not into hip hop/rap/r&b etc.
Songs I'd like to sound good on my new set of cans: Like a Stone (live) by Chris Cornell, Hanezeve Caradhina from the Made In Abyss soundtrack, Zanarkand from Distant Worlds 2, Rain City by Turin Brakes, anything by CHRCHES, anything by Slipknot.
Hopefully that helps give some context. Help and advice super appreciated

Welp, I did it.
They should arrive this week. Comes with case, stock pads, universe suede pads, and the OFC cable. My bank account is sweating but I am so excited.
Which wood is that?Welp, I did it.

Funny you should ask! I am interested in the Atticus and have the Aeolus. I love the Aeolus so much, that I really want the closed back version. Seems to me, those 2 could be very good compliments.
