Just my opinion, you may miss the monstrous bass of the TH900 though the Ether C is better than it in most aspects

Are ethers, or any other summit-fi headphone, really needed for EDM? Seems like any mid-fi or even well regarded budget cans would work for EDM. For thump, beyerdynamic DT series cans might be good.

For me, I love to listen to EDM with flagships. Otherwise I just hear a lot of bloom and "one note" bass. Some EDM is recorded very well (R.A.M) and I get to hear the texture of the bass with a flagship like the Ether C.

Is there any way to reduce clamping force? I am guessing that since it is nitinol, the answer is no.

Correct, but you don't need to have much tension on the head band, if you feel it's tight try relaxing the fit of the head band.

Thanks, have been playing around with the pads and the headband.

The ETHER C were made for Norah Jones. Any genre really, but Norah Jones really is pleasant to listen to with them.

Just loving these more and more every day!

I find Norah Jones too sibilant on most cans I tried so far. Is it better on Ether C?

I find the track 'Don't Know Why' from Come Away With Me to have some treble clipping, even in the remastered version. Some of her music can be a little hot but that's in the recording not a fault of the headphone. As far as sibilance on the ETHER C in general I don't hear any. If it's something that your sensitive to perhaps the tuning pads will help. They will attenuate the treble a bit. I can report back when I get mine.

Maybe the sibilance is exacerbated by your dac? I found that the Chord Hugo sounds very natural. I have windows laptop which sounds detailed but very sibilance prone and not natural. A MacBook sounded a lot more natural. All off them I listened to with my Alpha Primes, they allowed me to perceive the differences. I have the same sibilance problem with Maria Mena on Victoria with sibilance prone equipment. With the Hugo and the AP it is very enjoyable, as is most music

How do the beautiful woman and your best friend get along?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Haha I know tell me about it. If I was still a single man I guarantee I would already be in possession of an Ether C and Gumby/Mojo stack. But no I am in possession of a beautiful woman and best friend and so I have to enjoy my measly Alpha Dogs and 20 year old Theta DAC as well as my HD600 + Crack (not complaining one bit)

The Ether C will be purchased next income tax return

 

[DooberKnob]

I highly doubt a dac would cause sibilance.

I highly doubt a dac would cause sibilance.

It might emphasise it, like some poorer Sabre implementations.

What is the latest Order - Shipping turn around time? Is it still 2-3 weeks?

 

[Velomane]

Any updates on impressions? Some of you have had them for a couple weeks now.
