The Ether CX is a well-regarded planar that still has a strong following for its clean, spacious presentation and easy long-session comfort. At €465, this sits just below the €469 25th percentile and under the €475 median of your recent EUR comps, so it reads as a small bargain rather than merely fair.
That makes it a worthwhile buy if the condition is genuinely solid, especially since these reward careful ownership and are still desirable among listeners who want a refined, low-fatigue high-end closed-back. If it comes with the original cable set, case, and pads in good shape, the value is even better; with unknown condition, I’d mainly want confirmation that the pads, headband, and cups are clean and that both channels are quiet.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Dan Clark Audio, originally founded as MrSpeakers in 2012 by audio engineer Dan Clark in San Diego, California, traces its roots to the founder's lifelong passion for sound that began in childhood. With a background including work on Monitor Audio's premium Platinum Series speakers in the late 1990s and early headphone modifications for audiophiles, Clark bootstrapped the company through those sales, avoiding loans or investors to fund independent research and development.
The brand specializes exclusively in high-end planar magnetic headphones, offering both open-back and closed-back models renowned for innovative driver technology, such as proprietary designs protected by multiple US patents. Standouts include early releases like the Mad Dog and ETHER, alongside modern flagships emphasizing balanced acoustics, exceptional comfort, and lightweight engineering—handmade in the USA without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or other categories.
Positioned as a niche boutique leader in the ultra-premium headphone market, Dan Clark Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its relentless pursuit of perfection, earning accolades from Hi-Fi+, The Absolute Sound, HFN, and The New York Times Wirecutter. Renamed in 2019, it prioritizes value-driven excellence over mass production, solidifying its status as an innovator in personal audio.
