congrats to whomever bought the neige or aleutian stabilized eikons. those look wonderful
I was seriously considering snagging one of those Eikon(ic) units. It's been a long time since I've had an Eikon, and I always regret selling my original release Padauk set.

Were all ZMF Eikon perforated earpads made from lambskin or there were leather-free version too ? I'm not sure what I have received with my Auteurs in bundle.

Atticus has been serving as my work headphone lately, so I'm getting to listen to them a lot more. I built a sweet mid-fi setup for my desk at work, and the synergy is so delightful and euphonic.

Has anyone ever replaced their original atticus/eikon headband (with the sliders to adjust) to the newer style headbands and rods?

In curious about doing this. Nothing is broken, but id like to know if i can do this myself. I didnt see the parts for sale on the ZMF site.

If you contact them they'll set you up with a headband replacement order. A few years ago I swapped my old slider style headband to the then newer style, and it was easy. Maybe 30 mins tops. And I was being extra careful not to scratch my cups. If I was moving at normal speed it was maybe a 10 minute procedure. I might actually upgrade my Atticus headband again from the now old style to the newest BBB strap setup. I have it on my AC and love how it feels with the wider strap and more supple leather.

Awesome, thanks for the info!
