Pretty excited for these, can't wait to read more impressions and eventually demo.

How is the clamping force?  Are the headphones still comfortable if wearing glasses?

Sounds like they're very similar to the Ether for comfort, which is the most comfortable can I think I've tried. No clamping force issues with my glasses with the Ether.

Yep I found both Ether's fine with my glasses.

Can they be driven with Fiio E12/Cayin C5?

According to the specs and reports...... Very easily.

Thanks for the responses.  My interest level keeps rising...

I like that the C sound a bit fuller, you're not they only person to have made that remark so far, as the regular Ether are just a little lean for me (not that the regulars are particularly lean, but a little more thickness without pairing with a tube amp would be nice).

I second that opinion good Doctorr, was hoping the C would add a bit of body to the C so that it would be an effective balance for my HD800. The Ether is just too close to the HE560/HD800 sq for that role.

I am a IEM user and was curious on these headphones. Seeing as I am looking for an upgrade sometime in the future months, I wanted to know how the sound leakage and overall isolation are. It would be nice to be able to have portable audio and have great sound with these, seeing as I use the QP1R.

Auditioned the open version and it sounded great, cant wait to audition the closed version and then decide if i will buy it.

Listened to the Ether C at canjam. If you liked the open then you will like the closed, just a matter of sound preference.

I hope you stub your toe, have remorse and send your Ether C to me to make yourself feel better.

LOL Why not!

The Ether C was one of my favorite cans of the show, I love everything Dan has done with this one.

I cannot believe how well it isolates and the comfort is exceptional, this one is definitely on my short list of new cans to get.

This is all good to hear.  I took a risk pre-ordering a set.  The response from the Schiit show was enough to get me to take the plunge.  Now that many more similar impressions are out there, I can breathe a little easier.  I always love the idea of supporting small growing businesses.  Good job, Dan.
