PAR Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Very good review. The measurements are particularly appreciated by me. My only wish is that the musical examples used for the subjective assessment could have involved more than a single genre. As my listening is mainly to classical music, finding 'phones that are good for this is difficult as these days so many have a sound tailored to appeal predominantly to rock/pop enthusiasts. My audio project for 2020 will be a new pair of cans to replace my ancient pair of HD600s. Coincidentally all of my small list of contenders feature in this review. However I suspect that when I come to audition them that the 10 dB depression from 3kHz - 10kHz may make the Ether 2s too dull for my particular needs. Link to comment

I don’t think the Ether 2 are the best fit for a genre where sound stage width and string articulation are paramount. Thanks JoshM, that is very useful advice. Link to comment
