Dan Clark Audio E3

Dan Clark Audio's complete redesign of the iconic Ether C Flow, the E3 brings DCA's latest driver and tuning technology into a closed-back headphone that delivers reference-quality performance with an improved ergonomic design and striking black and blue aesthetic.

Type and Technology

Over-ear, closed-back, planar magnetic. Updated V-Planar driver with DCA's Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS). Redesigned for improved comfort and ergonomics over its predecessor. Made in the USA. Available with your choice of cable termination and length.

Sound Character

Neutral, detailed, and well-controlled. The E3 delivers DCA's characteristic linear and honest presentation in a closed-back format, with tight and accurate bass, a transparent and resolving midrange, and a smooth treble extension. The AMTS significantly reduces the closed-back reflection artifacts that cloud most sealed headphone designs.

Build and Comfort

Carbon fiber and aluminum construction with DCA's NiTinol memory metal headband. The E3's ergonomic redesign improves on the Ether C Flow's fit and long-session comfort. Premium earpads and good passive isolation make it practical for studio use and focused home listening.

Best For

Studio professionals and audiophiles who want a reference closed-back headphone with DCA's AMTS technology at a more accessible price than the Stealth.
