Our signature
With our open cup design, the sound stage is large. Yet they won’t completely cut off the sounds of the outside world which can be dangerous, especially in urban environments. Our octagonal cups are our signature. In Thalia this is paired with exceptional quality and design of cabling; these headphones are connected to your portable device via silver-plated oxygen-free braided copper wire with gold-plated connectors.
Your style
Thalia is your music, your way. Choose between three finishes: Tilia (an immersive dark, linden wood), Salvage (an airy light, recycled spruce wood) and pure Black.

The Story
She’s the daughter of the all-powerful Zeus. Our Thalia is also born of power. She is the development of our existing headphone models, Mania and Phobos.
But Mania and Phobos, for all their majesty, are big and power-hungry. They need a dedicated amplifier to run them optimally.
We wanted you to be able to take our equipment with you on the move. There began the birth of Thalia – the portable headphone which doesn’t compromise. Our goal was to produce smaller headphones, true to our signature and successful design, without the need for an amplifier. The portable device itself had to be enough to power them. They also needed to reflect you and your style, hence the two different wood finishes: linden and spruce, later joined by a black version.
It has taken time. It has taken love and dedication. But here we are.

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.
