The Dan Clark Audio E3 is a closed-back planar magnetic headphone positioned as a more accessible alternative to DCA’s flagship models while carrying over much of their technology. It uses an all-new 5th-generation driver, the Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS), and a Dual-Mode Bass Port, with an emphasis on low distortion, strong bass control, and high comfort in a foldable, travel-friendly design. The product page lists it as a midrange closed-back headphone and includes a $2,299.99 price.
