Got this this in an email today:

Intrigued to say the least. Is this built from the ground up by MrSpeakers or is it a modded version of an existing headphone? Has a Hifiman vibe to it.


Looking at the page it looks like it is new, rather than a mod, depends on how you interpret "ETHER is built around MrSpeakers designed single-ended planar driver."
 
Not completely sure on that though, it could be just a fantastic improvement on their present drivers.  I have to say that it looks pretty neat, but at that price point they are up against some top notch competition.

Yeah, I saw the email and all the talk about avoiding audiophile limbo-jumbo and hoed (rather vainly) that that would also mean a non-audiophile price tag. Alas, to no avail...

It's 100% unique. Impressions to come shortly, but suffice to say, initial impressions are very positive for detail and imaging.

What are we searching for? How would we know when we found it anyway?

. @Currawong, could you merge my thread with the impressions one, or lock it so you can focus everything in the right spot? I don't want to cause confusion or help sprout multiple sources of information
