HarmonicDyne Eris Review: The Most Absurd Headphone Bass?

A semi-closed dynamic with 50mm ceramic-metal drivers and a deliberately overwhelming sub-bass tuning - tactile, fun, and tailor-made for EDM, hip-hop, and bass-heavy genres.

Verdict: Mixed - 6.8/10. Price: $249.

What's good

50mm ceramic-metal long-stroke dynamic drivers

Massive, deep, physical sub-bass extension

Semi-closed 4-vent cup design balances slam and openness

Thick, well-built balanced 4.4mm stock cable

Soft micro-suede and vegan leather pads

Wider-than-expected stereo image

Easy to drive (32Ω, 118dB sensitivity)

Decent isolation despite venting

Worth knowing

Mostly plastic construction with glossy fingerprint magnet

Ear cup openings are smallish - ears touch the pads

Recessed midrange - vocals pulled back

Bass can overwhelm complex mixes

Detail retrieval gets swallowed by bass energy

Imaging width is good but depth is weaker
