About the Ether 2
The Dan Clark Audio Ether 2 is the brand's flagship open-back planar magnetic headphone, designed for audiophiles seeking top-tier sound quality, comfort, and durability. Weighing just 290 grams, it is constructed from titanium, aluminum, and carbon fiber, making it one of the lightest high-end planar headphones available. The Ether 2 features a proprietary planar magnetic driver with a diaphragm 70% lighter than its predecessor, resulting in exceptional clarity, fast bass, and a balanced, non-fatiguing sound signature. Its unique design includes three interchangeable ear pads, each offering a distinct sonic character, allowing users to tailor the listening experience. The headband uses NiTinol memory metal for comfort and longevity, while the included VIVO cable is silver-plated OFHC copper for optimal signal transmission. Released in 2018, the Ether 2 remains a reference choice for discerning listeners.
