Product Description
Travel back to the golden ‘70s with the retro-inspired Aqusta headphones from Telefunken. Each pair features a color combination that recalls audio equipment from an exciting, tumultuous decade in America’s history Read More
The colors and design make these look like they would be Tony Stark's father's headphones. I like how boldly weird they are, even if it's going to turn a lot of people off.
These headphones do sound great, I own a set, & if reading all of this discussion and other sites, those who heard or own them say this also. I admit buying them (from T o M) because they reminded me of Sennheiser HD1000 Charleston model, limited run of 1000 vintage sets back then.
Aqusta badged as Telefunken who also has woodied Audion model which is same as Feenix Aria (have that badge model). Telefunken badged Aqusta developed thru NIBOSA AB Sweden, made by Fischer Audio from Russia, made in China, like many headphones are now. FA makes some very fine headphones, have many of them; visit their site to see their fine products and wood cups too.
Aqusta normally sell on ebay & Amazon new for $300 to $335, but Touch of Modern last had them very recently at $125 plus $15 shipping to USA, for $140 total. That sale repeats often, just as others have also said here.

They look like someone hired a Ugly hairdresser in her 60's, drives a beat up miata, and recently got divorced to her 4th husband.
But how do these sound though?
I just took these to a head fi meet in PA a couple of weeks ago. Everyone asked what the hell are those. Everyone who listened to them were like ”wow, these are hood.” I gave my extra pair yo Zeos, who really liked them by the way, yo do a review. I guarantee, these will be respected in a short time and people will be chomping at the big to get them. I have Elears and find myself reaching for these more.
I know, the ‘hood’ part was just funny... new term of endearment for fugly cans that still sound good. Just no damn BeatOffs or EarTampons (AirPods) allowed.
