Erzetich – Phobos

Description

Distinction and style with wood beauty. The Phobos headphones draw on a stylish, octagonal shape for the cups. This doesn’t just exude beauty but creates a strong design without adding weight. We carefully age the wood used to ensure your headphones are as unique as the music you listen to. These are statement pieces where design and audio unite.

Encased within these statement open cups reside exceptional quality planar magnetic drivers. The design and technology together enable a detailed, firm and dynamic sound: picking up the details in the music and allowing you to bask in the rich details of performances that you love. These headphones are ideal for music ranging from classical to jazz, where detail is everything.

With V2021 we upgraded Phobos by updating the design, adding CNC milled aluminum cup covers, and carbon fiber head band. Compared to Phobos V2018 the sound is now more controlled, firm and detailed.

These headphones aren’t simply items of style and elegance. They are designed with music and quality of sound at their heart. The internal geometry of the cup is created for maximum harmony with the titanium-coated driver shapes in order to enable sound which is uniform, detailed and enticingly warm.

Mania are versatile headphones. Their sonic and audio characteristics make them suitable for shifts in musical mood and tempo, allowing your play list to be as diverse as you wish. Mania is an individual with a unique character and a rich result.

With V2021 we upgraded Mania by updating the design, adding CNC milled aluminum cup covers, and carbon fiber head band. Compared to Mania V2018 the bass is now firmer and more controlled, with cleaner mids and highs.

Phobos is the next step in our sound journey, a natural design progression from Deimos, our top of the range headphone amplifier: The next step in the evolution of design-led sound.

Nothing is taken for granted in Erzetich sound development. In addition, design is considered and focused. Instead an experimental trial-and-error approach mixes with a passion for both materials and sound. Working on planar magnetic prototypes the vision became clear.

The result is akin to striking gold: the same treasure as seen in the reunion of brothers Deimos and Phobos from mythology. The combination is mind-blowing sound encased in Erzetich quality and style. Phobos is a dominant character, confident in what it delivers.

Human-Centred

At every step of the design process the product has been evaluated against the human ear and the music we listen to. At their core it’s about sound performance married with comfort. Finally, design is the master paying heed to these two principles. It’s about the individual’s experience.

Music-Centred

In creating headphones that are human-centred, the quality of music listening and headphone acoustics was of integral importance. The whole Phobos and Mania purpose is to create a perfect dance of your own individual music in design elegance. This has been achieved.

No Animal Products

In the design creation of Erzetich headphones it has been important to ensure no animal products are used, without compromising comfort and style. As such the ear pads are covered in a soft and comfortable leatherette whilst the tiara belt is crafted from a rubber-like material.
