The EXPANSE represents Dan Clark Audio's latest flagship open-back headphone, setting a new standard in musicality, soundstage, detail retrieval, and comfort. Featuring the company's all-new 4th generation planar-magnetic driver and breakthrough Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS), the EXPANSE delivers a stunningly smooth presentation with unprecedented high-frequency detail and clarity. The AMTS is a patent-pending solution that reduces standing waves in higher frequencies, delivering industry-leading resolution without fatiguing highs. The 4th generation v-Planar driver is the largest planar diaphragm Dan Clark Audio has created to date, delivering exceptional dynamics with vanishingly low distortion comparable to premium electrostatic headphones. The headphones feature an auto-adjusting headband suspension system with ergonomic design, composite synthetic suede and protein-leather ear pads, and a carbon fiber baffle. Known for their expansive soundstage, precise imaging, and exceptional comfort, the EXPANSE is designed for both casual listening and critical audio evaluation. The headphones are hand-assembled in the USA and come with a carrying case, VIVO cable, certificate of authenticity, and manual.
