Zeitgeist is the brainchild of founder Thomas Halbgewachs, who brings expertise forged from years at Beyerdynamic and subsequent collaborations with some of the most respected headphone brands. His new brand has been three years in development, in partnership with fellow German brand InEar, an acclaimed creator of stage monitors. Halbgewachs says that Zeitgeist was born out of a strong desire to do things differently – and better.
According to the press release, the brand is creating high-quality, high-comfort IEMs from extraordinary organic materials, backed by a wealth of audio expertise. Featuring freshly emptied whisky barrels, Faberge-Egg-worthy Karelian birch, and rare timber - you haven’t seen, heard or felt earphones like this before.
The brand is launching with two earphone collections: Artisan and Whisky, with a third, Trees collection imminent. All are handcrafted in the brand’s workshop near Heidelberg. No two earphones are ever identical: the different textures, grains and color variations in each material ensure every earphone is one-of-a-kind. Zeitgeist is a pioneering brand in crafting earphones from solid wood, offering a unique line that showcases skilled craftsmanship, dedication to sustainability, and a long tradition of musical instruments getting their timbre from timber.
The Artisan Collection is based on Karelian birch (also known as Masur or Nordic Curly Birch), a prized wood with a distinctive curling pattern. Its story lies not only in its unique look and careful cultivation, but its appeal to earlier artisans – including Faberge, who used it to craft one of his eponymous eggs for Tsar Nicolas II. The Karelian Birch was the penultimate Faberge Egg produced, and the only design primarily made from an organic material. The collection is launching with five different color variations, numbered 1-5, including vivid amber, blue, green, black and purple hues.
The Whisky Collection is crafted from a freshly emptied Islay Malt whisky barrel, and these earphones offer a listening experience as rich and robust as the drink that inspired it, the company says.
The design team studied thousands of ear impressions to find the perfect fit for most people. Zeitgeist earphones seamlessly contour to your ears and come in both Regular and Small sizes, with four sizes of silicone ear-tips provided. There are additional ear-tips options available in the brand store.
The IEMs come with a premium cable in the box, featuring an 8-core structure braided from high-purity, silver-plated mono-crystalline copper, available in 3.5mm and 4.4mm versions. Optional accessories include various adapters for both smartphone and Bluetooth connectivity.
