Dan Clark Audio ETHER 2

Flagship planar magnetic headphone – maximum linearity, dynamics, and detail

ETHER 2 is Dan Clark Audio’s flagship and a ground-up redesign. Instead of building TrueFlow around an existing motor (as with ETHER Flow), DCA developed a completely new driver. The result is a clear step forward in linearity, dynamics, and micro-detail—supported by a ~70% lighter diaphragm for impressive resolution, fast bass, and fluid mids. Sonically, ETHER 2 ranks among the most organic and musical headphones in its class.

Ergonomics & Comfort

A headphone connects physically with the listener—fit and design shape the entire experience. DCA invested extensive development time into long-term comfort and weight reduction so extended sessions remain effortless. At only 290 g, ETHER 2 is exceptionally light and feels almost weightless.

Materials & Durability

Metal and carbon fiber are used where stiffness, low resonance, and low mass matter most. The cups and headband assembly are precisely manufactured and engineered for long-term durability—ETHER 2 is the sum of carefully tuned components.

Sound Signature

Organic, flowing, and highly resolving: fast, controlled bass, silky mids, and a finely textured, natural treble. ETHER 2 is engaging without fatigue—top-of-the-line performance for demanding listeners.
