HarmonicDyne x Z Reviews: Eris

The Eris was born a collaborative project from HarmonicDyne & long time audio reviewer Zeos from Z Reviews. This Headphones uses a bespoke 50mm dynamic driver developed by HarmonicDyne and physically tuned by Zeos for this project. The aim of the Eris is to be an experience unlike any other currently in the headphone space. 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. 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.
