Headphone Zone and ddHiFi launch hand-painted solid-resin IEMs, price starts at Rs 2,999

Headphone Zone, India’s leading audiophile destination, has partnered with ddHiFi to launch two co-branded in-ear monitors (IEMs) — the Iris priced at Rs 2,999 and the Skyfall at Rs 3,999.

Both models mark a breakthrough in the budget segment, introducing solid 3D-printed medical-grade resin shells and premium driver materials typically reserved for flagship IEMs costing several times more. The Headphone Zone x ddHiFi Iris and Skyfall are available now at headphonezone.in, and can also be experienced at the Headphone Zone Experience Studio in Mumbai and at Headphone Connect events across India.The Iris and Skyfall are the first budget IEMs to feature fully solid resin construction, a design approach previously seen only in high-end models like Moondrop Blessing 3 and DITA Audio Project M. The Iris uses a beryllium-plated diaphragm, while the Skyfall incorporates a nano-titanium diaphragm paired with a custom balanced armature.Raghav Somani, Founder & CEO of Headphone Zone, said: “We wanted to create value for beginner audiophiles, but Demond Ding challenged us to do something never done before in the budget segment.

That conversation became the Iris and Skyfall.”Inspired by the Goo Goo Dolls track, the Iris is a single dynamic driver IEM with a 10mm beryllium-plated diaphragm. Tuned to highlight vocals and instruments, it departs from the typical V-shaped or bass-heavy tuning of budget IEMs. It ships with a 3.5mm silver-plated OFC cable and pairs naturally with the Headphone Zone x ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC. Best suited for rock, acoustic, pop, R&B, and jazz.Named after Adele’s iconic track, the Skyfall is a hybrid IEM featuring 1DD + 1BA drivers with a two-way crossover. Tuned warm and full-bodied, it delivers smooth treble for fatigue-free listening during long sessions. It comes with a 4.4mm balanced silver-plated OFC cable and pairs with the Headphone Zone x ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC Pro. Ideal for cinematic music, soundtracks, hip-hop, and electronic genres.Each pair of Iris and Skyfall features hand-painted marbled faceplates, sealed under clear resin. The Iris is finished in marbled green, while the Skyfall comes in marbled blue. Since the marbling is handcrafted, no two pairs are identical, making every IEM a one-of-one piece.
