Not sure if this link is already up: https://headphone.guru/dan-clark-audio-e3-closed-back-planar-magnetic-headphone-the-bar-raised/ Apologies if so.
Same as Ether, a little smaller than Stealth/expanse.@mrspeakers what about driver size?
Same bigger, smaller than one that is inside Stealth?
pretty good. Above 90 db there’s a little outward leakage but it’s reasonable. Inbound noise blocking is very good.Can anyone, including @mrspeakers comment on sound leakage? How buttoned up are the new E3s?

That reflects my experience as well. It doesn’t of block everything out (as is to be expected), but it’s no problem concentrating on the music without having to turn up loud.pretty good. Above 90 db there’s a little outward leakage but it’s reasonable. Inbound noise blocking is very good.
But what is the actual surface area, accounting for the creasing that is used for the driver of the E3? You could take and stretch that puppy out and then measure it. . ? :^)Same as Ether, a little smaller than Stealth/expanse.

The pleating effect on area is nominal and stretching wouldn't work because with thin PET and AL you'd likely distort it. But the dimensions are 72x45mm.But what is the actual surface area, accounting for the creasing that is used for the driver of the E3?

I understand. I was just wondering with the "fine" pleating, what the actual surface area would be since it would have to be larger than that measured without factoring in the pleating.The pleating effect on area is nominal and stretching wouldn't work because with thin PET and AL you'd likely distort it. But the dimensions are 72x45mm.
Would it be reasonable to expect a degree of leakage comparable to the Stealth?pretty good. Above 90 db there’s a little outward leakage but it’s reasonable. Inbound noise blocking is very good.

I too listen to movies with headphones. I am in the market to purchase a new set for this very purpose although is will also be used for music listening.Looking at the feedback, it seems that E3 is not just a headphone with AMTS installed on AEON 2 Noire. I'm particularly interested in the vocalization of the E3 that some people have mentioned. I used the AEON 2 Noire to watch movies for about a year. It was a great experience, but eventually my ears began to hurt. Yes, watching movies for extended periods of time with closed-back headphones is not recommended. However, with the E3 equipped with AMTS, I think I can do that without hurting my ears. Or an open back version of the E3 would be interesting to me.
I'm currently using Arya Stealth, and I'm sometimes troubled by its sharpness. Other than that it's perfect...
On that note, any chance you'll switch from FedEx or allow shipping with UPS for a fee?Actually that's not correct, we ship with FedEx and they contact the customer to collect duties.
FWIW the EU price is very close to US+ship+duties.
^Yes this! I never order anything anymore if Fedex is only deliver option.On that note, any chance you'll switch from FedEx or allow shipping with UPS for a fee?
