mmmm.....oh me soooo horny just by looking  at the The Ether C(losed). Just contacted my dealer (who will soon be a Mr. Speakers dealer, he says). Reserved/pre-order ASAP.  This will make a fine addition to my favorite closed back HPs (TH 900, Denon AH5000/Lawton and the ATH W3000 ANV). I hope it is not hype but the real deal. I badly need a really, really good closed-back.

 If you still own the TH 900 you have an excellent closed back already

 

[raypin]

mmm......yes, I still have all of the above-mentiond HPs. But I want to own a TOTL Mr. Speakers . The Ether (Open) is out of the question since I already have the HE 1000 (easily my best headphones to date), so the Ether C seems a much better option for me. The Audeze LCD XC was on my list 2 years ago  but the weight issue is a deal-breaker (although I still have the LCD X for home use) specially for on-the-go listening (my primary focus in this hobby).

Are these really worth $1500? The Senn HD800 is already $1500

 

[raypin]

mmm.....just wondering: will it be as good or better than the Ether (Open)? If so, will the market be flooded with pre-owned The Ether (Open) once the Ether C(losed) reach the retail channels???

From my personal sonic findings on the Ether, I would venture a possible personal yes as a close-back version of the Ether should probably add the exact sonic change I was hoping for! hahah... ymmv of course.
 
btw, I am willing to trade my basically new Ether (with balanced DUM cables) for the Ether-closed with whatever cable you like. PM me if you would be interested in setting up this type of deal.
 
edit: if no interest, I guess one lucky head-fier will be getting a discounted Ether with DUM cables soon. hahah

im going to the schiiit show tomorrow, and ill bring my th900's for comparison. many photos too.
I hope theres like 8 of these there, because everyone is going to be on these.

 

[Zocoyotzin]

So I splurged and preordered the Ether C just now. I felt immediate regret for such an impulse buy...but not enough regret to cancel the order.

 

[XERO1]

Can't wait to hear these tomorrow!!!

I had a great experience at the SF Meet Up, where I was able to sequentially audition each of the Mr Speakers lineup all the way to the Ether. The sound signature stayed in the same vein all the way thru, till I put the (open back) Ether on. Then it was a whole new experience. I was shocked how light they were. I was expecting more weight, just by the look of them.

 

[Pirakaphile]

Uh oh, now I'm going to have to judge between the open and closed. I'll probably go with the open, just cause I like the sound one gets from open cans, but if enough reviews can convince me, I might just order myself up the C. Sounds like Jude is impressed at least, though THAT doesn't take a lot.

Black metallic Alpha Dogs next to black carbon fiber Ether C? Darth Vader approves! thank god I live in San Diego. I'm going to miss the Schiit show in LA but maybe Dan will let me swing by for a listen.

 

[wahsmoh]

Well then my bad, I assumed all his cans were modded T50RP's.

I still won't follow the hype train till I hear one myself. Granted I've not heard the Ether, but from a few people I know who have them, they say they are good.

meh get off your high horse.

mmm......no regrets, no surrender. no receipt, no exchange. no i.d., no entry.

mmm.....not *just* yet. I hope the Ether C is NOT to the Ether (Open) as the Audeze EL 8 (Closed) is to the EL 8 (Open).
