That's a good point, but the prototypes at CanJam SG were very different, in terms of both driver configuration and acoustic design. There were no switches either. Maybe it's a prototype from earlier.

Oh.. could you tell me the number of BA for the prototype?

If EE named the Korean limited edition as Hera, that really says a lot about it. As Hera is one of the wifes of Zeus, we can assume it is at a co-flagship or second-tier. 10 BA with switches, EE is able to bring the technology and tuning of Zeus to develop a new product based on previous user experience.
Nicely done.
*Since Zeus has multiple wifes, we may have multiple of them
Metis, Dione, Leto, Whos next.

What cable is that?I think the new EE custom(or universal) is Hera.
Currently, this is a limited version(30 pieces) for Korean market.
Although it has 10BA, Hera owners said its sound quality is same level with ZEUS XR and has strong points on female vocal.
Even some of them already sold their zeus xr after buying Hera (of course, some of them still have zeus and think zeus xr is better, but its gap is very small).
I guess EE will launch the Hera officially with adel and non-adel near future.

Yeah, it looks like it’s somewhere between the Apollo (even though it has the same number of drivers) and the Zeus. Honestly, I can see EE moving away from the Olympus theme next year; Greek gods can get unmarketably obscure eventually.
Though with that said, I’d love to see something called Prometheus or Kronos; the latter would fit watch-part faceplates perfectly.

1 - Hera was the wife of Zeus , and she was considered a very strong entity in the Olympus Kingdom
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hera
2 - this probably means that Apollo gets the boot, being a 10-BA ?
3 - price ? it should probably be under 2000$
I think Hera might remain a Korean exclusive to be honest. But, then again, Pinky’s review did state that the Athena is slowly being shifted out, so this may be the start of EE revamping their whole line.

I swear I was hoping they'd go with Kronos, lol. That's too funny. Great thinking!!!
How cool is this. I always love hearing about things in other markets. Helps me understand how everyone else listens.

The cable must be Eros from effet audio.
The idea of the Hera is not bad, because the Zeus are not fine enough for the female tracks.
For lovers of classic, heras will help, after the Asian market is a different world, they do not have big voice like us, they need something finer and more precise.
I find Zeux Xra are different, before the reshell, he was bigger and lours.
Now they are better.
Here are some pictures for the facts:
