DROP + MrSpeakers Ether CX Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones

V-PLANAR DRIVERS FOR INCREDIBLY LOW DISTORTION The Ether CX is built around MrSpeakers’ single-ended planar driver with patented V-Planar technology A conventional planar driver is assumed to move as a flat surface In reality this isn’t possible as the driver is inelastic and “locked” at the boundaries so the driver moves more as a bowed surface than a flat plane V-Planar technology addresses this issue by deeply creasing the diaphragm allowing it to “accordion” when going through the larger motions required by bass notes Much as pleats allow an accordion to expand and contract without stretching the fabric the creases in the driver "open" slightly during larger excursions Along with pushing more air at low frequencies V-Planar delivers better dynamics high-end frequency response and measurably lower distortion In the Ether CX the distortion is less than 0 5 percent in the low bass and less than 0 1 percent from 60 Hz to 9 kHz

• OUR FLAGSHIP CLOSED-BACK HEADPHONES: A collaboration with MrSpeakers, a boutique shop in San Diego, California, the Ether CX closed-back headphones deliver immersive sound
• OPEN SOUND WITH CLOSED DESIGN: For one thing, they sound more like a pair of open-back headphones—clean, open, realistic, relaxed—while retaining the low sound leakage and high isolation you’d expect from closed cans
• V-PLANAR DRIVERS FOR INCREDIBLY LOW DISTORTION: The Ether CX is built around MrSpeakers’ single-ended planar driver with patented V-Planar technology for ultra-low distortion (<0. 5 percent in the low bass, <0. 1 percent from 60 Hz to 9 kHz).
