And any experience with comparaison between Aeon and Ether C or Ether C flow?

The Ether C Flow improved on the Ether C but still has a peaky high end I don't like. The rest of the sound spectrum is nice though. I'd found the Ether Flow opens to be the best sounding Mr. Speakers headphones, also among the best sounding open I have ever heard. Better than Audeze / HiFiMan in the same price range. I THEN tried the Aeon, this was all at Can Jam NYC 2017 and while they'd sounded great and fit great it of course lacked the space of such amazing open headphones (Ether open). You'd like their Ether C even less than the Aeon I think.

Never put your headphone at the edge of the desk. It might be one hit kill.
Feeling so sad now…

OMG that sucks.

Yeah, that must be tough. Did they fall on the floor?

Yeah It fell on the floor and it turned out like that. I wish I had been more careful…

Aluminum is a very soft metal, I'm surprised it just snapped like that. Usually the softer the metal, the less prone it is to snapping, but the more prone it is to scratching and denting. Maybe that's some kind of cheaper poured pot-metal that Dan is using for the arms.

That's a bummer... I wonder how much it will cost to fix that? Hopefully the answer will be posted here in the thread and under $100 USD.

My experience, both as an engineer and as someone who's crashed/tipped over his fair share of motorcycles, is that aluminium is fairly brittle. You use it for light weight, and if you want structural strength, you brace it (a lot).

It's not terribly hard to fix a break like that, we don't have to open the headphone to replace the part. Just contact us at info@mrspeakers.com and we'll setup a repair.

We actually stress test that part as part of our QA process and we did drop tests in development so the mechanical design is sound, my guess is this is bad luck and it landed exactly the wrong way to break.
