"HP / LP ports" is the number of high-pressure and low-pressure ports on the first stage, which caps how many accessories (transmitter, SPG, inflator, second second-stage) you can run at once.

Pros
  • Balanced diaphragm first stage with 2 HP/5 LP porting at a meaningfully lower price than Zeagle's F8 or Onyx II
  • Nitrox ready to 40% O2 out of the box, per Zeagle's factory spec
  • Compact, lightweight 2nd stage (0.26kg without hose) that Zeagle positions as capable enough to double as a primary or backup
Cons
  • Not environmentally sealed, per Zeagle's own spec sheet, so it's less suited to silty, cold, or contaminated water than the Onyx II or F8
  • 2nd stage only has a Dive/Pre-dive Venturi lever, no diver-adjustable inhalation effort knob like the pricier Onyx II and F8
  • Also sold in a Yoke version, confirm the listing matches this DIN spec
Diver community sentiment
Mostly positive

Scuba Diving magazine's ScubaLab bench and in-water testing rated the Envoy II highly for ease of breathing in the swim position, with testers describing it as "easy" and "quiet," and it also scored very good for directing exhaust bubbles out of the diver's field of view. The venturi switch was rated good for taming free-flows, and the purge was rated very good overall, though a few testers found it a bit aggressive. On Scubaboard, owners who also dive Zeagle's pricier Onyx II and Atomic regulators report being happy with their Envoy IIs and consider the breathing performance on par with Atomic's lineup, while noting the tradeoff for the lower price is an unsealed first stage and no adjustable inhalation-effort knob, features some posters felt were worth paying more for in the Onyx II instead.

Summarized from public forum discussion (Scubaboard, Reddit, and similar), not a survey we ran ourselves. See the linked threads for the original conversations.

The Envoy II is Zeagle’s economical mid-tier reg, built around the same balanced diaphragm concept as the Onyx II but without the dry environmental seal, cold-water kit, or adjustable breathing knob, at a noticeably lower price. It’s a solid pick for divers who want a lightweight, dependable primary or backup regulator for warmer, cleaner water rather than technical or cold-water diving.
