Why carbon fiber? Anyone knows? Just the look of it or any specific performance property? (honest question)

Do you mean that the roll off is more pronounced with DCA than the other brands? Reduced bass always happen when headphone seal poorly in my experience. Did you mean to say DCA headphones in general is not a good match for the shape of your face?
Thomann sells Dan Clark headphones.. but that'd probably be a little more than 4k.Biggest question at this point is where to buy DC headphones in Europe. My girlfriend hates my Ananda because of the sound leakage, and something like the Aeon RT Closed would be great. Issue being I can't find it anywhere in Europe.
Why carbon fiber?
It does. When I first saw DC headphones I didn't think much of it, but it grew on me so much so that I bought Noires. Ended up returning them though since I was still using 560S instead most of the time because of comfort.I think the design would grow on you.
People spend way more than that on speakers all the time. The rule of thumb is always spend the most on your transducers so I can see it being justified for someone with means who is primarily a headphone listener.No matter how good they sound, four grand is a ridiculous price for a pair of headphones. I'll take something an order of magnitude cheaper and some free EQ ...
The Aeon RT can only be bought directly from Dan Clark Audio's website. Before I bought mine, I asked them about where to buy them in Europe and that is the answer I received.Biggest question at this point is where to buy DC headphones in Europe.

No. Why would they let you do that on a many $k headphone?@Dan Clark @amirm Are the ear pads replaceable like on the Ether 2?
Apparently the body and arch are titanium, carbon fiber and aluminum with suede and vegan leathery stuff I think it was when I read it.
Then again, after spending it on this, the money spent will be saved from any possible misspendingGoddamn it I've been looking for a closedback and now there's THIS?! I'M TRYING TO SAVE MONEY HERE JFC
Carbon fibre is a fantastic material, no doubt. But the main reason it finds application in many high end devices across different product categories is none other than looks and marketing. People know carbon fibre gets used in F1 and planes, so it must be good, right? In the case of headphones, I don't believe there's any use case where carbon fibre would fare significantly better than good plastics or some metals, which are definitely cheaper than carbon.
