A collaboration with Empire Ears, this is a new iteration of the Zeus XIV: an engineering marvel and the first 14-driver in-ear monitor ever made. This version uses the same drivers as the company’s former flagship—two bass, six midrange, and six treble—along with an identical seven-way crossover circuit to tune the drivers’ frequency response. As a result, the sound is holographic with layered spatial imaging and depth from front to back. The class-leading midrange is flanked by impactful, balanced bass and airy but non-fatiguing highs. For durability, we’ve added a transparent blue ABS plastic shell and faceplate, plus a stainless steel nozzle to protect the four sound bores. The shell incorporates a recessed socket and connector system that's better sealed with far more strain relief. As impressive as the god on Mount Olympus, this Zeus comes for a price that’s a little less high and mighty.
