HarmonicDyne x Z Reviews Eris

Latest Generation Dynamic Driver

The Eris is designed around HarmonicDyne’s latest generation of Ceramic-Metal High-Flux Magnetic Long-Stroke Dynamic Driver (CMHFMLS-DD). Featuring a 50mm ceramic-metal fusion diaphragm. This new dynamic driver is extremely responsive and delivers some of the best sound HarmonicDyne has to offer. Combining the tensile strength of micron-thin metal sheets, with the rigidity of ceramic layering, the CMHFMLS diaphragm achieves greater rigidity than typical membrane-based diaphragms while offering more resolution, extremely wide staging, and deep powerful low end reproduction without noticeable distortion. Creating a unique timbre even discerning audiophiles will want in their collection.

Semi-Closed Back Design

The Eris features HarmonicDyne’s M-type pressure relief system that passively ventilates the acoustic cavity. This system combines some of the benefits of closed back headphones, such as better sound isolation (roughly -5db) with passive airflow to achieve an open-sounding or “big stage” experience. Balancing/tuning the internal pressure within the acoustic cavity allows for a life-like sound staging experience and substantial bass control, down to sub-bass frequencies. All being accomplished without the sound leakage usually associated with fully-open headphones and greatly reducing interruptions to your music, gaming, movie watching experience from ambient noise.

Comfort, Build, Looks

Zeos put extra care into making sure the Eris was as comfortable as possible for long listening sessions. The pads being crafted out of softer materials and featuring a unique Light Blue micro-suede fabric and vegan-leather design in order to achieve the ideal level of airflow, isolation, and comfort in both warm and cool environments. The headband and frame are constructed with resilient materials including injection moulded plastic, glass, Aluminium, and were put through rigorous physical testing. Eris weighs 320g (without cable) to be lightweight enough to use for hours while walking, gaming, yoga and other physical activities. The matte black colour scheme and aesthetic deep purple Glass-Back design of the Eris was used to portray a modern, clean, understated & timeless look.

The Balanced Cable

Eris comes STANDARD with a 4.4mm custom balanced cable (3.5mm Dual Entry) made from customised solder-tuned single crystal copper wires. More costly to manufacture then traditional stock cables, this upgraded cable allows for worry free connection from any source gear to Eris for the best listening experience right out of the box, and can be swapped out for other custom 3.5mm dual termination cables in the future, ensuring customisability and preference are in your hands.
