Introduction
Remember
the Harmonic P.D.1? That was a set of in-ear monitors with a fairly unique driver configuration, but it unfortunately did not live up to the promise with poor tuning and technicalities letting down the excellent build quality and accessories. I had mentioned in that review that HarmonicDyne had started out with headphones, such as the
now-discontinued Helios, before moving up the market with the Zeus, and recently launched the Poseidon. There's clearly a greed theme going on here, and I happen to have both the Zeus and Poseidon for review thanks to Linsoul.
Today, we are taking a look at the HarmonicDyne Zeus, an open-back over-ear set that has often been described as fun to listen to and appealing to many courtesy the aesthetics, build quality, and provided accessories. Looks like this run in the family, but the actual sound signature hopefully won't be a letdown this time around. The image above shows these headphones use a mix of different materials for a striking finish, but note that I had to color-correct both it and the thumbnail photo taken from
the product page since the wood looked pink for whatever reason. Not the best of starts, but let's see how the product actually fares in our review which begins with a look at the product specifications in the table below.
