About the NOIRE X
The Dan Clark Audio NOIRE X is an update to the AEON 2 NOIRE, integrating the Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) for eliminating high-frequency standing waves, delivering balanced treble, expansive soundstage, punchy bass, silky midrange, and smooth highs. It uses a more rigid planar magnetic driver (62x34mm) with V-Planar knurling for lower distortion, improved dynamics, and smooth frequency response. The design includes a self-tensioning Nitinol headband for even pressure distribution, Alcantara synthetic suede ear pads to reduce heat and moisture, Gorilla Glass 3 ear cups, and a foldable frame for portability. Tuned near the Harman curve, it offers versatile performance across genres with low fatigue, making it ideal for immersive listening.
