Inspired by the disruptive nature of the goddess Eris from Greek mythology, this headphone seeks to challenge the status quo with their bold design and transformative sound. It uses a bespoke 50mm dynamic driver physically tuned by Zeos for this project. The aim is to be an experience unlike any other currently in headphone market.

This 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 rigidity of ceramic layering to achieve greater rigidity than typical membrane-based diaphragms while offering more resolution, extremely wide staging, and deep powerful low end reproduction. Even discerning audiophiles will want in their collection.

This system achieves an open-sounding or โ€œbig stageโ€ 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. This design greatly reduces interruptions to your music, gaming, movie watching experience from ambient noise.

Moving the off center / angled driver to the rear of the cup, this takes the focus off of detail retrieval and applies an even greater sound stage presentation, while keeping imaging and overall tonality very similar. Perhaps the most unique feature this headphone.

  1. Jacob Cook –

    I don’t normally write reviews but this headphone is something special.

    Let me get this fact out of the way: I am a bass head. I’m that guy that needs to have aftermarket subwoofers in his car because he needs to FEEL the music. Headphone reviewers look at the FatFreq Scarlett Mini and go “OMG that’s a stupid amount of bass” whereas it’s my go-to portable IEM because I see the bass amount as “just enough.”

    Being the bass head that I am, I have a Schiit Lokius with the bottom 2 knobs cranked all the way for all of my other headphones. These are headphones that audiophiles claim to have good bass – ZMF Atrium and Mod House Tungsten. I still have those 2 knobs cranked and it becomes “just right.” When I first plugged my Eris in, I had to TURN DOWN these 2 knobs because I actually experienced what I didn’t think possible in a headphone: TOO MUCH BASS. Without EQ these things slam. They rattle your ears. It’s bliss.

    Some positives:
    – COMFORT. My god are these light. Everything that touches your body is suede or something that’s close to it.
    – BASS.

    The thing I’m indifferent about:
    – The cable. I don’t use 4.4mm but dual 3.5mm cables are easy to get and if you’re like me and you’re buying this as a side set for jam sessions, you probably already have a cable lying around.

    And the negatives:
    – The plastic creaks a bit when you put them on but don’t rattle once they’re on your head.
    – Not all genres are great to listen to on these. Mids suffer on these so genres like metal don’t work well. I see these as a side set more than my end-game solution.

    The Eris may not be the end-all be-all headphone but it is worth being on my desk for whenever the mood strikes me to listen to some EDM and to feel the sensation of your head rumbling. I can feel my music with these in a way no other headphone has ever come close to.

    Got to hand it to Mr. Zeos these really do have “the bass violence necessary for change”. I have tried many different headphones from hifiman ananda, saundara to zeos own rinko which was great in the bass department but these take the cake. these add a punch of fun to just about anything you listen to thanks to tuning work done by Zeos and HarmonicDyne. These headphones are excellent for gaming as well. I played a few rounds of Helldivers 2 and these just amped up the experience of the game to Epic levels. I cant say enough good things about these headphones they are a unique audio experience that everyone should experience at least once. These are built well with quality materials glass aluminum soft suede feeling earcups. the included cable is one of my favorites so far. it lays well looks great and feels quality. Thank you Zeos HarmonicDyne and Linsoul for providing such a excellent product.

    These headphones do bass better than just about anything else I’ve tried and I’ve owned many headphones in this price range (dozens). For electronic music these are absolute perfection, I wouldn’t change anything on these headphones. But they’re not a one trick pony. You can swap the backwards (left cup on the right side but with the right side cable) and get increased soundstage which is fantastic for movies/shows. The bass lessens just a tad but is still very much there. Honestly there’s not a genre of music that doesn’t sound great but if there is good bass in the song you are absolutely going to FEEL it.

    The build is standard Harmonicdyne which is to say a little plastic feeling but very sturdy and nicely built overall. The glass on the headband and cups feels lovely but is a fingerprint magnet. So make sure you keep a microfiber cloth nearby if smudges bother you. The pads are something else, I don’t know how to describe them properly. They’re the softest, most comfortable pads I’ve ever experienced. I find myself wearing them even when I’ve turned the music off because they’re so comfortable that they never bother you. They don’t weigh much either so that just adds to the comfort.

    I honestly don’t know how Z did it. He has videos on how he tuned them and it’s amazing how many small changes add up to such a huge difference. I’ve done my own headphone modding/tuning over the years (Fostex T50rp is one of my favorites) and it is extremely difficult to get this kind of tuning that doesn’t sacrifice something else. These are just… perfect.

    If you like bass and want a fun, comfortable sound you can’t do better for literally twice the price. Also I am not usually big on headphone burn-in but these absolutely need it. I’m one of the few people outside of Z that owns more than 1 Eris and I have tried a pair with 100+ hours vs a brand new out of the box pair. They absolutely sound different. Not going to bore you with the details but give them at least 40 hours of play back time before you fully judge them. They do improve a good bit over that time. It’s not drastic but it is enough to notice and may make the difference on liking these vs loving these.

    Also look how pretty the drivers are! Seriously! Oh and I’ll also point out that I have the Harmonicdyne Athena (which I do really like) and you cannot mod them to sound like the Eris. I tried, the new driver in the Eris is something special, the Athena just can’t get to the same level even with the cups are tuned identically to the Eris. Maybe this will save someone else hours of attempting to do that.
