You like what you like.

Sometimes what appears to be a common thread turns out not to be. Correlation != causation, in audio nor anywhere else.

All that matters is that you enjoy what you’re listening to.

I will say the Aeolus do bass very tastefully while delivering pretty solid detail especially listening to this right now


“Music Is the Drug“ track is the real test for me
 coming up next


Bassnectar on Qobuz

Edit: Pretty awesome :clap: :sunglasses: for that track, it will be interesting to see how if at all the Aeolus change as they get more play time.

That’s not even that bassy!

Need to feel the deep 20hz bass. The un-nerving bass you feel more than hear. Like Make Money - Lapalux.

Well, all I can say is I love the Aeolus they are by far the most engaging and entertaining headphones I have ever heard. I don’t want to take them off and call it a night, even though I know I need to!! :heart:ZMF

Those really are stunning @Torq. They ooze class from the cups to the headband. Beautiful photographs too.

I tried to give just a like and not fill this thread with another 


These look stellar!

Congratulations on the new beauties, Ian!

Oh my word!!! I am speechless. . .

How did you get Zac to do that??? I emailed him about doing a burl Verite closed and he wouldn’t do it. then the Leopard wood hit and that is what I ordered but DAMN that burl is just too much!!

AND, back to watching the spreadsheet I go,

I’ve asked for other woods, on his other headphones, before and its not always been something that was doable, so that’s not uncommon.

In this case, I just happened to get lucky. I had decided to wait a bit to see what other LTD woods were offered for the Verite Closed. Which was something I mentioned to Zach when I returned the monkeypod review set. And as we were chatting back and forth on options, the timing happened to work out for these, which were experimental - but clearly turned out well!

Zach commented on head-fi about the possibility of more:

We’re in the process of stabilizing about 50 sets of v closed. We will sell them one by one as we finish them starting in a couple months. We won’t be taking pre-orders on these or anything as they will all be so unique I’d rather sell them individually with pictures of each.

And as/when that happens, if a reddish set with yellow/gold/orange grain/burls happened to show up, I’d be pouncing on those myself

Dangit Ian
 why do you have to share those.

now i want a Verite C.

Speaking of which, Zach is sending me a set of his new Verite Perforated Suede pads. Im not sure, but I havent actually paid for them yet, so I probably need to figure that out, but they arrive Monday. :slight_smile:

Serisouly!?

I have paid $115 AUD for my set, and they have been moving around the US for the last 8 days :frowning:

He sends out FedEx usually which can either be really fast, or extremely slow. kinda random.

He had sent me a replacement suede pad a couple months ago. I’m not sure if he mixed that up or just forgot, but I’m going to contact him to make sure what’s going on.
