Fantastic review as always! Always wanted to try the E3, but haven't heard anything DCA makes beyond their Aeon line-up (tried them all) and they always sounded good but were just, boring? Tried many headphones myself and ended up w/ Arya Stealth's and HE1000 Stealth's as my daily drivers, with an LCD-GX on the way. Would love to see a review from you on the GX's!

Since we are on the topic of high end closed headphones, I wonder how you would like the closed backs from Focal, especially the top end Stellia.
@GadgetryTech
21 күн бұрын
The Stellia is awesome! I love it for rock. It was punch but lacked the same depth as the E3. The Stellia also comes across as a brighter and much more energetic headphone. Kind of depends which tuning you like more. I covered the Stellia in the past but I didn't have it here to directly compare against the E3 unfortunately

I know it is not in the same price range as any of your closed backs shown for comparison, but it would’ve been very interesting if you threw that LCD XC in the running as well. That headphone needs EQ like no ones business, but I bet it could contend in some areas with those other closed back models. ☺️.

Wow, great review. I use the MM500 for mixing straight out of a Macbook Pro; it's been great even without a pre amp. I'd like to add a pair of closed backs for mixing and recording vocals. Q1] Would E3 and MM500 cover all the bases you think? Q2] Also, could you suggest an ideal mini pre amp I might buy that would compliment the pairing? Thanks for any response, Cheers from Vancouver!

Nice review! I wanted to love the E3 as I think they look great. The problem I have with the sound is the peak at 2.8 kHz. It gets fatiguing very fast. Listening to the opening of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by The Beatles was unbearable. It was like an ice pick punching a hole in my eardrum and that was on the Ferrum Stack. I managed to tame the 2.8 kHz peak somewhat using the 10 Band Eq on SoundSource.
@xblur17

I have the E3 and I cannot get it to fit comfortably. The top band feels stiff, the earcups are just too big and have too much pressure at the bottom of the pad, and when combined with the thick cable I just don't find it very comfortable. I also find it quite a bit too shouty in the 2.5-3.5k region. The Harman curve is already bordering too shouty, so the fact this goes past that just makes it sound quite shouty in certain tracks. I reduced the 2.8khz region by 3db with a Q of 2 and it did help, but I still found myself going back to my $200 wireless ROG Delta 2 headset, because when it's EQ'd it doesn't sound THAT much worse than my E3 (of course it's technically much less capable but for gaming/general media the difference is only moderate). If the E3 was more comfortable, I think I'd enjoy it a lot more. All the reviewers that said it was one of the most comfortable headphones ever made lied to me.
@GadgetryTech

That's totally a fair take! I actually had a similar sentiment on the comfort chapter. I had to lift it slightly to relieve the pressure on my jaw, otherwise I preferred the comfort of the Liric II. Overall, great assessment of your experience. Thanks so much for sharing

The E3 is very good, but the highs are pretty sharp and fatigued me quickly. Tli changed the source chain DAC and amp several times to soften it. It remained too hot in the highs. Yes they're more expansive sounding than the Noire, but I'd take the Noire over the E3, even with less soundstage.

Agree with you about power; my $179 hip-dac 3 and $200 Topping A50 III drive this fine, whereas my $1400 WA7 does not. I love how these sound. It’s also the most uncomfortable headband I’ve ever experienced. Feels like someone is cutting into my skull. A $14 pad from Amazon helps some, but I’d much rather wear my Empy II than this. May sell it.

I would say one of the best for sure. I still really enjoy the ZMF Caldera Closed, as it has a little bit more air and a really nice punch for rock as well. It's a bit more expensive though, but both are excellent. Then you have the Liric II which is so comfortable to wear, I EQ that one and still enjoy it.

Should I choose dolby atmos, spatial audio or just turn them all off? I know purists always says to stick to plain stereo, but this options seem to improve the stage and directionality. I'm confused with all this options. I would love to know whats your opinion on this. Thanks in advance ❤
