I think that measurement vs the Athena is going to throw a lot of people off jsut based on the fact that the measurements arenāt normalized to each other. The Eris definitely has more bass based on this, but itās not as ridiculous as this make it look. Here is a quick and sloppy photoshop with the Athena line moved up to align more properly with the Eris. Iām sure people will complain about the small dips at 1k and 2k, if thatās even really there, but your headphone looks closer to āidealā Harman tuning than the Athena, lol.

I mean it is in the same chassis as Athena and Black Hole but the driver changes everything. I wouldnāt even compare them to be honest. Thanks for the edit btw

I did a preorder without realizing that I would have to wait something over 30 days before the things even shipped. I wasnāt thrilled about the $30 for shipping either. Iām so used to free shipping on everything.
On another note, the graph is irrelevant without hearing them first. Looking at the graph one would think these must sound terrible.
I need to recommend you watch one of Rick Beatoās more recent YouTube interviews with Dave Natale, who is the live FOH mixer for some of the most famous rock bands in the World. He EQs the sound system & by no means is he going for a flat frequency response. He is going for taking out painful frequency & mud. I suspect that is what these headphones kind of do with their tuning.
On another note, Iām not thrilled about DHL shipping. Not even 1 time has DHL successfully delivered a package to me. UPS or FedEx are near 100% successfully delivering to my address. I donāt know wtf is wrong with DHL.
Reminds me of my m50x.

I think some might not know what a FOH is so Iāll add.
Front of House Mixer is the guy at shows who is in or behind crowd mixing and managing the sound as heard by the crown front of stage/audience. Good ones create great sounding shows. Some shows have bad to none and sound like chaos/shit
This Eris does as advertised. Vocals sit back but raising bass is going to do that
Overall it is a great and fun set that rivals a broken in Modhouse audio in comfort and in sound

Mine is supposedly scheduled for delivery tomorrow. =D
And they are here!
āThe Bass Violenceā¦ā is a good slogan for these, JFCā¦ Lol
They kind of remind of the sound I get out of my Focal Clears when I plug them into the Emotiva bassX with 250ohm output impedance, which skews their low-end to ridiculous levels. They are a lot of fun though.

-Honey (Album) - Robyn
-I Hear You (Album) -Peggy Gou
-Lets go Mt Corel - FF7 Rebirth OST
-Friends on Mushrooms (Album) - Infected Mushrooms (honestly amazing with these)
-Club Soda Vol. 2 (album) - Cookiee Kawaii (another very good fit)
Will edit this post and update this list as I find more music with good synergy with these.

My delivery failed. Big sad. I still canāt even see who the carrier is with the tracking info, but I donāt know why they didnāt leave them at the door. Now I gotta contact linsoul to try again.
It was DHL for me. They send you an email and text with the ability to waive the signature requirement, otherwise you have to be around to sign for it. Iād check your email for something from DHL. Your order details page should have a tracking number too.

If itās DHL they have a fail rate of 100% for me. I have expressed concern of this earlier in this thread.
I have my order receipt for the Eris. No shipment info has been sent yet.
