Studio-Grade 50mm Metal-Ceramic Composite Dynamic Driver Headphone

About HarmonicDyne: The Pursuit of Better Sound

HarmonicDyne’s goal is to deliver better sounding audio to the everyday music lover. HarmonicDyne has made its global success through several crowdfunding campaigns, including the Helios, Zeus, and Poseidon headphones. Each of these launches achieved the combination of amazing acoustic performance, bespoke craftsmanship, and budget-friendly affordability. HarmonicDyne will continue the tradition of designing and carefully manufacturing the best headphones that are accessible to every audience.

50mm Metal-Ceramic Composite Driver

The HarmonicDyne Athena has been designed around an all new large 50mm dynamic driver. The diaphragm is composed of a novel metal-ceramic composite material that is incredibly thin with great tensile strength. Rather than plating or coating the metal layer on a plastic diaphragm like conventional Be-layered diaphragms, the new metal-ceramic composite is a fully integrated amalgam of high purity metal alloys with ultra-dense ceramic carbon fibers achieved at extreme temperatures. This results in a more cohesive and high resolution audio performance, marked by exquisite diaphragm responsiveness and fast transients. Thanks to this lighter, thinner, and tougher diaphragm, listeners can now enjoy their music with greater dynamic range and lower distortion.

New Voice Coil and Magnetic Drive System

To power the new 50mm diaphragm, we have developed a new high-performance ultra-fine voice coil and high-flux magnetic enclosure within the driver. The ultra-fine voice coil features thinner strands wrapped more cohesively and tightly to better respond to the driver. Stronger and more efficient magnets drives excellent power evenly throughout the whole diaphragm, delivering a more engaging listening session.

Studio-Grade Tuning

At HarmonicDyne, we understood that a great driver is not fully enjoyable without proper tuning. This is why the Athena features our most comprehensive acoustic tuning strategy so far. We have studied headphone target curvatures across numerous academic and commercial studies, and have integrated our findings into the Athena. The Athena represents a tonally-balanced sound signature with a 3dB sub-bass boost focused only from 0-200Hz, a flat midrange for a natural sound in instruments and vocals, and an accurate treble that peaks exactly at 3kHz to fit the perceived hearing compensation of the human ear. The Athena is not only our most tonally accomplished headphone, but stands as an accurate and precise tuning standard for future headphones to come in the market.

Side Venting System

The earcups have been redesigned to feature a new M-shaped side venting system. Compared to traditional front and rear venting strategies, the M-shaped side ventilation improves airflow across the whole driver. With better airflow, the Athena will give you a purer and cleaner sound with a more natural soundstage and stereo imaging.

Outstanding texture reflecting competence and beauty

Just like its name, the Athena has brilliant acoustic capability as well as appearance. Besides the impressive high-resolution audio it presents, the Athena’s texture and design are also a sight to behold. The ingenious introduction of glass adds the richness of texture and transforms the Athena into not just a competent HiFi headphone, but also a sophisticated decoration piece.

Ergonomic headband- for your comfort and contentment

It was important to us that the listener could enjoy the Athena for long periods of time without fatigue. We have designed an ergonomic headband with a wider contact area to the head and a softer cushion layering. The weight of the Athena is thus evenly spread across the whole head, preventing headaches or dizziness even after long listening sessions.

Upgraded Headphone Cable

Great effort was made on making the cable so that it could improve the full responsive range and give you the joy of noise-free and pure listening. The custom coaxial OCC cable has a 33*0.08mm + 38*0.06mm structure with high purity and great conductivity, offering, excellent transient response and massively improving the acoustic quality. The insulation layer will keep you safe from electric shocks and the protective outer wrapping is nice to the touch and prevent noises from microphonics- the echo of the cable rubbing against any surface. Now, you can enjoy the Athena even on the go without worrying about cable microphonic noises.
