QP1R and ether C 1.1. floored. Though needed to do a small eq tweak.  can't wait for the upgrade option. wait, is it available?

 

[Subhakar]

do you mean a stand like this?

I have a couple of woo stands and then a couple of Brainwavz clip hangers for quick access. I don't like to compress the pads either. 

Yeah I like the woo stand too and prefer not to compress the pads.

Anyone in Melbourne who'd like to sell their original Ethers?

 

[emptymt]

any update on the first 40 upgrades?
I hope the upgrading process(the real work on the headphone) has started.

This has been addressed already by Dan.

We have always said we'd try to complete the first round by the end of September and next steps would be published then, so why are you frustrated?  The only update is we're about a week behind on the first upgrade units, which I hope to complete first week October.   As clearly stated before, at that point we will confirm or modify pricing and send the next round of notices out, and information on overseas upgrades.

Interesting comparison between the Flow and the C Flow in the Verge review. I disagree though that the C Flow doesn't offer enough isolation to be a good office headphone.

I'm using mine in the office right now and it seems to offer the same isolation/leakage as the original Ether C. Which is pretty average isolation for a closed headphone, but certainly good enough to use in an office without issue.

So just double checking. The $350 upgrade alone will make the Ether sound identical to the Flow?

Yeah basically it will only replace the drivers and the parts inside the cups to make it a "Flow"

I think it will change the presentation a bit, since the pad will be angled, when my upgrade is done, I will still have the flat pads from the ether, I can probably post a comparison here, I think the flat will be more intimate while the angled will have better soundstage but more laid back.

Agreed. I quite like the Ether Cs for the office. They isolate better than any closed headphones I've had before. They're obviously much less isolating than custom IEMs.

I'm glad Vlad is getting into high end headphones. While he doesn't yet know what he's talking about, I trust he will eventually.
