Want headphones inspired by Fabergé or made from whisky barrels? These IEMs are for you

Zeitgeist Germany Artisan IEMs.

If you think you know in-ear headphone design, think again. Nascent brand Zeitgeist Germany has arrived to reinvent the rulebook not just on how a pair of in-ear monitors should look but on which materials and components should be used to make them, revealing two trailblazing models constructed from some decidedly distinctive materials. 

The bold new brand was founded by Thomas Halbgewachs, formerly of Beyerdynamic and a subsequent collaborator with various other high-end headphone companies. Zeitgeist Germany has been launched in collaboration with fellow German brand InEar, the established maker of in-ear stage monitors, so hopefully the new collections will have the sonic capabilities to match their out-there designs.
