    MrSpeakers Ether 2 measurements and thoughts

    Turns out the suede pads don't have bass roll-off... if you spend enough time to get the seal right. I also found an older measurement of the...

    MiniDSP EARS: Deriving SBAF compensations from MiniDSP files?

    Thank you for your work on this. I have settled for a mix of HPN and SBAF compensation. HPN below 1.3 kHz, SBAF above. Here is a comparison of my...

    ETHER 2

    Started listening using the slow filter on the ADI-2 DAC. The Ether 2 is a bit high on 15 kHz and up. Combined with a mix that is heavy and this...

    MrSpeakers Ether 2 measurements and thoughts

    Sound wise, no pad really sounds more "forward" than other. The differences are in treble and how "dark" they sound. While the dark sound is a...

    MrSpeakers Ether 2 measurements and thoughts

    Got my room reasonably quiet and measured some distortion with the suede pads. [IMG] This is very good. Pretty sure this is completely noise/EARS...

    MrSpeakers Ether 2 measurements and thoughts

    Only one measurement this time, but results are fairly consistent anyway once you have a good seal. Own compensation which is a mix of HEQ and...

    ETHER 2

    They have more treble at comparable loudness, but lower mids and bass go up even more for a much darker sound.

    ETHER 2

    That is a weird way to describe sound. Maybe? Treble is certainly quite different. There is no more weird low quality MP3 sound to it like parts...

    ETHER 2

    Treble with the perforated pads seems much improved. No measurements for now, my neighbors are partying and background noise is too high.

    ETHER 2

    Verdict after a few weeks of use: With the standard ear pads, the E2 is much more of a specialist than an all-rounder. Given its price tag, that...

    ETHER 2

    The impact of EQing the dip around that the E2 has around 10 kHz makes me a bit uneasy. Turning the EQ off again makes cymbals and hi-hats sound...

    I measured FR with and without 3 mm felt on the outside of the ear cup. Results are very boring. Attaching and removing the felt happened without...
