Reviews
“Is is still the best closed planar headphone in the business for my money but this time Dan has added a bit of more of the fun factor” – – Marcus, Headfonics.com
“I’ve been listening to new ground-breaking headphones since, well, Sennheiser 414s. Every time the intention was that they were better than the one before, otherwise there would be no point. All I had heard before these were closed back, heavy and tight fitting ‘head vices’ that had bass, middle and no definition for my young 20kHz ears to benefit from. Whether Koss, Dynatron, Binatone or Winthrop, none of them actually sounded right for me. Indeed, until the 1980’s the BBC regularly issued Bakelite headphones to sound engineers, which really worried me.” – Hifi Pig Magazine // March 10, 2016

HEAVYWEIGHT SOUND WELTERWEIGHT WEIGHT
Like all Dan Clark Audio headphone designs, we place a premium on reducing weight as decreased weight increases comfort and allows for more enjoyable, and longer, listening sessions. ETHER C Flow weighs in at only 380gr, half the weight of one competitive TOTL closed planar headphone, but the extensive use of exotic materials like Titanium and carbon fiber mean it’s just as strong yet way easier on the noggin. And industry-leading noise isolation makes it perfect to for use at home or on the road.
FROM THE SOFA TO THE STUDIO TO THE AIRPORT, ITS ALL GOOD
ETHER C Flow is a full-size headphone, but it packs into a compact case that makes it an excellent travelling companion to go where you go, in style. With industry-leading isolation from noise, and very low “leakage,” whether your couch surfing, mastering your latest album, or just wanting some peace and quiet on a flight, ETHER C Flow lets you do it in style.
