Yikes reminds me of the Fidelio X2 hr fuck ups where the drivers would be inversed. This looks relatively easy to fix but still a pain In the ass and voids that chinese warranty if you were to try to fix it

Yea I took the two screws out of the left side cup, but doesn’t seem to want to come out
 wondering if there are more screws under that white dampener :frowning:

Edit: Oh
 it is under the stickers

19

Fixed. So yea had to peel off the white stickers.

Wow. QC must have been on break when yours went down the line.

Mine came in last week and I never looked that closely at them until I saw your photo. Upon close inspection, my drivers are positioned correctly.

Ah yes, the friday afternoon production. Reminds me of that HiFi Man with two left ear cups.

@Jordonater1992 Check out the Z Review on this one and see if it’s something you’d be interested in.

I’m not good with all the technical words for describing the sound of headphones or speakers, but all I can say is that I like them. The bass response is good, not too little and not too much, just right for balanced listening. The treble is not ear piercing which is nice for me. The mids don’t seem too muddy and are clear enough to me.

They’re not the lightest headphone, but they’re not the heaviest either. My lightweight headphones are the HD 650’s and my heaviest ones are the BLON B20’s. These Zeus are in-between them I think. Perhaps slightly heavier than the DT 880’s.

my only concern is the price tag on it
 helios was nice
 but it had some issues
 this is practically just a refined helios looking at the sound characteristics yet more than double it’s price tag considered used market value
 while its the exact same build as helios which is quite a bit cheap
 I don’t really think a refined driver tuning and a fancy case is worth double+ the price. Just my two cents but I haven’t sat with it yet to say for certain.

Im sorry to keep asking questions but if you listen to a poor recording does it still sound listenable or is it awful. Thats something I liked about nighthawk carbon and ive noticed all other headphones ive tried dont have the hump that both the nighthawk and the Zeus have so maybe that is what im am missing.

27

You have to remember that HIFi man release headphones with worse build than these even at $1000 price points so id say the price is quite reasonable.

That’s difficult for me to say. The worst recordings I listen to would be compressed YouTube. All of my other music is CD quality or better.

But I can hear the compression in YouTube with these, but I can usually hear it on any other headphone too.

Oh right thanks. To be honest when I listen properly to things then its always at least 320KBPS mp3 or higher too. I was talking more about the actual production quality of the song itself.

Wait. I take back what I said. I just remembered that I have an album by Tool that I ripped from YouTube which will be the worst recording I have.

This was their demo cassette tape from 1991 in which someone uploaded to YT. So, it’s an old cassette, probably played a lot, then recorded to a computer, remastered a bit and then uploaded to YT.

This was the only medium this album, or demo, was ever made on and to buy it today can be upwards of $1500 - if you can find a copy.

So, I just put that album on right now to give it a listen.

I could go to Metallica’s ‘Hardwired to Self-Destruct’ album. Some people tell me that this one wasn’t mastered very well.

You dont need to do that. You have helped me more than enough and i dont want to waste any more of your time. Thanks very much

It’s no bother. I’m listening right now and have everything I need at my finger tips.

Listening to Lord’s of Summer atm. Seems fine to me.

I can swap stuff around in my chain if you like. I have a Schiit Jotunheim with the multi-bit DAC in front of me as well. I also have the Emotiva BasX A100, a Darkvoice 336, a Geshelli Labs Jnog and Erish all right here.

Anything you want man. I’m just sitting here relaxing.

Thats nice gear. You know i think i may buy these since the sound seems to be the signature i may be looking for. How’s the comfort on the headband does it cause a pressure point?
