Best praise vs top criticism for Dan Clark Audio Ether 2
“I think absolutely sincerely that Dan Clark Audio ETHER 2 is one of the most beautifuly designed headphones ever.”
“Nice comparison. As a Stellia owner I agree with most of your points, though I use mine mostly for gaming these days. My headband has already gotten dark and stained over time, so I've given up on it haha. I haven't heard the E3, but I briefly owned a DCA Ether 2 and wasn't very impressed. While it was quite neutral, it was also lacking in bass and the treble rolled off pretty quickly. Sounds like the E3 is a good improvement there.”
