C flow has more air than the original C? If so then I wouldn't even understand. Having the original C for now could use bit more bass and a bit more air like 15khz+ 

Also is the C Flow more resolving even when having that "smoother" treble as compared to C?

Soundstage isn't even a problem on these really its just... makes no sense already how good it is for a closed headphone...

In the past week I've read a few comments regarding the soundstage of the Flow C. The C itself is already a soundstage monster and the Flow should only be better. I don't know how many times in the last year that I put on the C's, press play then think "Oh siht! I left the speakers on."

The more headphones I acquire the more I learn to love the original C imaging... It's SO pinpoint accurate



In this song for example even with youtubes compression everything is extremely accurate

I never owned the C but spent time listening to Matt's and Dan's (the prototypes) at Nashville Meets and loved them. Without being able to do a head to head, so large grain of salt, the Flow C is much faster sounding, with lower distortion, and improved soundstage. I tried to get an Audeze LCD-XC in for the review, to no avail, so a I can say it's the best closed can I've heard, without being able to comment on the XC 2016.

The only closed headphone I know that sounds bigger than the C is the CD3000. It sounds bigger and airier but does not have the black background and definition. Maybe the C Flow will beat the CD3000.

Took a little break from my paper and main rig. I'm finding a similar pinpoint large soundstage on Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother", through my little X7.

Ether Flow off the Cavalli Tungsten prototype amp at CanJam today was my favourite part of the show.

I was surprised to see, over most of the day, no queue to listen at the Mr Speakers stand. And there were periods when one or more of the four Flows weren't even being used. It's a crime.

I think I've just become a MrSpeakers fanboy.

Disappointed, was hoping for your London commentary, pity you can't go. Married my first Wife at John Wesley's Cathedral, almost sufficiently recovered for a return visit ...

Folks that have listened to the Ether C Flows... how's the noise isolation?  This style of headphone setup looks the same as the Denon D7000 (and below) line, which I found very low-clamp and moderate noise leakage... especially that people around me at the office could hear what I was listening to, and it got annoying for them.  Similar situation with these?

Considering C Flow has the same amount of leakage as the original C It's really good!

Hey, I'm finding not much information about noise isolation on the original C's.  Did you use them moderately loudly in generally quiet environments?  Folks around you couldn't hear your music?

well in my room which is quiet right now having the C's on top of a box so the earcups are sealed against it I can only hear some high frequencies but its not distracting in the least with Drum & Bass playing at decent volume with them right next to me I can barely make out the melody. The seal I find is good too. Due to the fully closed design (other than tiny vent on the top of the cups) and the thick leather earpads they block out sound nicely.

Good info, thanks!

Dear all,
 
While in London, at the CanJam, did anyone have a chance to compare the new AKG 872 to the Ether Flow C ?

BTW: a good sound / noise  isolation both ways is also high on my list for a good closed back phone
