If they were pizzas, the Ether-C would be thin crust and the Eikon would be deep dish.

 
Does that make the Atticus a pan pizza?
 
And... now I'm hungry.   Thanks.

Both are great headphones. In comparison, I feel like the Eikon has much more body and weight to it than the Ether-C. The Ether-C is more thin, crisp, linear and spacious. The Eikon is more lush, impactful, musical and liquid.

Do you think that the Eikon is better than the Atticus with Prog-Metal music ?

Sorry I'm on a low carb diet, I'll have to go with the ethers! I think the eikons should be compared against the Sony MDR z1r

I'll be able to answer that with more certainty in a week or two.

I get your mean but I'm an Italian guy from NYC ... thin crust is our thing ... so maybe not the greatest anology


New York pizza doesn't count. That's the Orpheus. I once built an entire vacation around eating pizza at a bunch of different spots in NYC. Best. Vacation. Ever.

Am I mistaken in seeing you in the Sony thread? If not and you're due to have the new flagship, could you compare it to the Eikon?


I'm not in that thread, no. I like the new Sony A LOT, but don't have enough listening time with it to make a very meaningful comparison to the Eikon. If that changes, I will certainly let you know!

I'm curious about the highs. Are either of them able to create a sparkly treble?

Sure! Just apply glitter before playing music...

Sorry, couldn't help myself there. :) I associate sparkle with bright, and I didn't find either one bright. Han, Grizz or Hi might know better.

Not what I would call sparkley, but definitely not dull either. I would call them linear and balanced, based on what I've heard so far.
