AEDLE SAS — F8:91:73 (MA-L)

Primary prefix
F8:91:73
Block
MA-L
Status
Ceased operations

Summary

// what this is
Aedle SAS is registered to MAC prefix F8:91:73 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with F8:91:73, that block was registered by Aedle SAS — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. Aedle SAS has ceased operations, but the registration remains on record with IEEE.
// analyst note
A single MA-L block for a now-defunct boutique headphone maker; substance comes from the matched corporate registry filing and documented product line (VK-1/VK-2/ODS-1/VK-X), not from OUI volume.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium-High

AEDLE SAS holds a single IEEE MA-L block, F8:91:73, registered to a Paris-based high-end headphone maker better known by its consumer brand "Aëdle." Founded in 2011 by Baptiste Sancho and Raphaël Lebas De Lacour, the company hand-assembled premium wireless and wired headphones — the VK-1, VK-2/Valkyrie, ODS-1, and the Bluetooth VK-X — out of a Montparnasse, Paris workshop, and picked up a Red Dot Design Award along the way. The OUI registry address (11 Rue Campagne Première, 75014 Paris) matches the company's SIREN 534520325 filing exactly, which is the strongest independent corroboration available for a boutique single-block vendor. Aëdle's story did not end well commercially: French corporate registries show the company entered simplified judicial liquidation on 2019-10-08 and had that liquidation formally closed for insufficiency of assets on 2023-11-22, meaning AEDLE has been legally inactive since that date — any vendor copy should read in the past tense.
