| Breaking new ground in closed headphone performance and comfort ETHER C is the latest addition to our award-winning ETHER headphone line. Using advanced carbon fiber ear cups, ETHER C delivers an exceptionally “open” headphone sound while weighing in only 0.6 oz (~15gr) more than our ETHER open back headphone. Which ETHER? Both ETHERs share the same V-Planar driver, but the tuning is different, and of course ETHER C is closed. If your application requires isolation, such as for travel or times when you don’t want to disturb people with music or be disturbed by external noise, ETHER C is the easy choice. Sonically, both headphones are voiced to be as close to neutral as we can, but there are differences:  MrSpeakers will be showing ETHER and ETHER C at the following shows, CanJams and meets. We look forward to seeing you there! - ETHER C has deeper, faster bass for EDM and other bass heavy music (it’s not a traditional “bass head” phone but it delivers the goods)
- ETHER has a warmer upper bass-lower midrange well suited to classical, jazz and much pop/rock, delivering a more “intimate” feel than ETHER C on vocal-oriented music
- ETHER offers a slightly larger soundstage while ETHER C resolves placement and “volume” a bit more accurately
- With extra isolation, ETHER C can be more resolving of micro details and ambience cues, and it offers a slightly smoother and more detailed treble
