The ZMF Aeolus combines open-back soundstage, deep bass extension, and a warm, romantic signature. A technically capable yet musical headphone, perfect for relaxing or rediscovering your favorite tracks.

Keeper of the winds — an open-back masterpiece
Aeolus [é∙o∙los] means “the divine keeper of the winds” in Greek mythology, and it’s ZMF’s answer for anyone who’s wished for an open version of the Atticus.
With the spatial presentation of an open-back headphone, Aeolus keeps the most-loved traits of the Atticus while adding its own refined character. The TPE diaphragm enables dynamic movement, greater spaciousness, and a more linear presentation.
Aeolus is the perfect entry point into high-end headphones—or the ideal musical complement to any collection.
Since its introduction in 2018 as ZMF’s second open-back headphone, Aeolus has won over music lovers with its smooth, comfortable, and inviting signature. Often called a “Super HD650,” especially with suede pads, it blends warmth with refinement.
One of the first open headphones with true bass extension into the lowest registers, it creates a listening experience that’s both captivating and full-bodied. The best word for Aeolus might be “romantic”—made for relaxing and enjoying an intimate, detailed soundscape.
Despite its musical focus, Aeolus remains technically top-tier: excellent detail retrieval and staging, never sounding artificial.
