Build Quality and Comfort
We have specifically designed the drivers, magnetic system, diaphragm surface, and headband of the ETHER 2 headphones from scratch. These technical solutions result in a natural sound unlike anything else, while also offering exceptional comfort and durability. These qualities are the hallmark of Dan Clark Audio headphones.
Magnetic System and TrueFlow Technology
The ETHER 2 model is equipped with a new magnetic system based on TrueFlow technology, which has significantly improved linearity, dynamics, and detail. The driver measures 71 x 45 mm. To fully unleash the potential of the magnetic system, we developed a new diaphragm that is 70% lighter than previous-generation Dan Clark Audio drivers, thanks to the incorporation of an aluminum conductive layer.
As a result, the ETHER 2 delivers unparalleled clarity: powerful and tight bass, smooth midrange frequencies, and expressive, balanced treble without any coloring. These characteristics create a cohesive, dynamic, and precisely balanced soundstage. The ETHER 2's uncompromising sound quality and durability are complemented by its lightweight construction with metal cup and carbon fiber headband.
Weighing less than 290 grams, the ETHER 2 is not only the lightest planar magnetic full-size headphones on the market, but also the lightest model in the high-end segment.
Vivo - the flagship cable
Our unique Vivo cable design features silver-plated copper conductors and high-quality connectors in all popular configurations for both stationary and portable audio. The Vivo cable projects an unprecedentedly wide soundstage and captures every tone and nuance in their fullness and authenticity. The Vivo cable not only looks and feels great, but its exceptional flexibility and lightweight make it practically unnoticed, while the absence of friction noise ensures maximum listening comfort.
