MrSpeakers Ether 2 Planar Magnetic Headphones
Introducing MrSpeakers Ether 2, an upgrade from the Ether Flow in every way. The Ether 2 is their top-of-the-line planar magnetic headphone which features a new proprietary driver, motor, baffle, and headband. A fresh look at proven and familiar MrSpeakers design.
Weighing in at a diminutive 290 grams Ether 2 is one of the lightest flagship headphones ever created. As MrSpeakers Founder and Chief Designer described it to us, “I will only ever design headphones that I can wear on my head for more than 8 hours.” A difficult feat Ether 2 achieves without breaking a sweat.
Brand New Driver Design
Ether 2’s brand new motor was designed from the ground up with TrueFlow technology to realize a major improvement in linearity, dynamics, and detail. To make the most of the increased resolution available from the motor they developed an all-new diaphragm that’s 60% lighter than the original. As a result, ETHER 2 delivers incredible clarity, powerfully fast bass, liquid midrange, and a balanced top end that’s deeply resolving but refrains from crossing into sibilance. The performance is remarkably coherent, dynamic, and engaging.
Lightweight Frame
ETHER 2 is built to last in style with all-metal cups and headband as well as carbon fiber driver baffles. The refined touches, new ergonomic earpads, enhanced webbed head strap, and astonishingly low weight make the Ether 2 a seriously comfortable headphone.
Brand New VIVO Cable
While MrSpeakers was happy with their DUM (Distinctly Un-Magical) cable, it was a little stiffer and produced more microphonics than they really wanted. As a result we’d like to introduce their new flagship cable: VIVO. This fully-custom cable design incorporates silver plated OFHC copper and top-quality connectors. VIVO projects a wide open and holographic soundstage with precise imaging and tons of smooth detail
