I am one of them. Aeolus is my all-time favourite based on my sound preference. I simply love it for its attributes of smoothness, lushness, mids-centricity, warmth and intimacy with music. If I want more clarity and staging, I’ll reach for the VO. Atrium would be a middle ground between the two with superior staging while Caldera is most detailed and skews more neutral. It all depends on one’s sound system and personal preference (and types of pads used). All are excellent ZMF headphones with its own merits.

If you want immersion in the music -- without explicit lingering in the headphone technicalities of sound reproduction -- Aeolus is your headphone. 🎼🙂🎶

Back in the Aeolus gang. It's the headphone that I keep on selling for stupid reasons and continue to buy back because I miss them. I've now bought and sold five different units. Hopefully this one will be the last time I do this.

Welcome back! You should stay a while this time :)

I read posts like this and become even more hesitant to let go of any equipment I have ever bought.
Sixth time has got to be the charm, right?

I let go of tons of equipment and most of the time I don't miss any of it. There's only a few things in my previously owned that I wish I didn't let go. Aeolus was one of them and today I've corrected that mistake. I won't make it again.

I'm sure you'll read through pages and pages of people like myself who've ran the gauntlet of gear, climbed some kind of summit and come back down to earth deciding on more modestly priced gear that's just pure fun. I'm at that point in this journey. There's less than a handful of items left on my gear list that I have any interest in owning.

I see you grabbed those Redwood ones for sale today. Was so tempted to jump back into the Aeolus game too, I've only sold one pair so far though 😂 Now that I've updated more of my chain, have a desire to see how they sound now. Patiently waiting for the ZMF sale and hopefully I'll own them again too!
