Yeah for dynamic drivers I haven't heard a change with time. With DCA planars, however, I have noted changes in sound with time from more treble/midrange peak to reduction in that range and more fill in from the bass. I think I read Dan saying this occurs due to the settling of the v-planar...

I have several cables from Periapt and really like the quality.

I think these periapt still work https://periaptcables.com/products/2-type-2-dual-2-5mm

This is kind of hard understand, but the midrange peakiness I experienced with these headphones largely went away after like 200+ hours. It was still there at 100+ hours. I don't think this is just me getting used to them as they now sound like the pair I heard at Can Jam. I had initially...

Wow that’s a great deal. I’d totally get that but already have the signature and Diablo.

Yeah agree, I was just pleasantly surprised with the Gryphon for more contemporary music and the bass boost worked very well with E3.

Related to portable solutions I think E3 sounds amazing with iDSD signature (sadly discontinued). The amp/DAC section are a bit warm but detailed and makes a nice combination. I haven't tried with the Diablo yet. The Gryphon also sounds great, but seems a bit power constrained. That said it...

I listen to them both without EQ. For Aeon I use 2 notch white filters. Aeon 2 Noire and E3 sound very different to me. E3 sounds actually closest to Aeon 1 (non RT) in my mind in terms of tuning. Aeon 1 was relatively flat in the mid bass and the RT version and to a greater extend Aeon Noire...

With extended listening I'm finding E3 to be fatiguing and significantly brighter in the upper midrange than my other DCA headphones especially with metal. I think I'm pretty sensitive to this region and have always used the two notch white filters on Aeons/Ethers. I absolutely love the treble...

Ok thanks is the elastic OK too? Also; this pad spacer appears to be 3d printed and is a really cool addition to the system.

Is it ok to leave these in the folded configuration in the case long-term? It seems to place a lot of tension on the tensioning system.

I just listened to E3 for the first time at CanJam. I'm very impressed and likely will end up purchasing these. I did some A/B with the Stealth and at first impression I think I like the Stealth a bit more overall due to a bit wider soundstage and what sounded like more bass definition. That...

Would be interested in comparisons to ETHER C flow. It's still one of my favorite headphones.

I haven't tried in a while, but I seem to recall using the angled pads boosted the bass and dipped the midrange a bit. These like a lot of power and respond well to bass boost from my Loki/Lyr3 setup.

I haven‘t heard the X but have the Aeon RT. Both the noire and RT are great headphones and I use both frequently. The Noire has more bass (sub and mid) and wider sound stage but less forward midrange. RT has less sound stage but more forward midrange and can be made even more forward with solid...
