The ÆON 2 Noire is the latest edition of the award-winning ÆON 2 Closed headphones from Dan Clark Audio (formerly MrSpeakers), featuring bold metallic black paint and perforated Japanese synthetic protein leather earpads that deliver a new sound signature closely aligned to the Harman Curve with gentle bass and treble boosts, resulting in a lighter midrange and expanded soundstage. It employs a 100% proprietary 62mm x 34mm single-ended planar magnetic driver with second-generation TrueFlow technology for improved airflow and detail retrieval, V-Planar processing for superior bass and diaphragm stability, and a super-efficient transducer that minimizes weight. Constructed with premium materials including Nickel-Titanium (Nitinol) memory metal headband, carbon fiber baffles, aluminum, titanium, and plastic elements, it weighs only 328g for exceptional comfort and durability, with a patented folding gimbal design for compact portability fitting into a purse or case. Includes tuning pads (white pads for deeper bass, others for varied damping) to customize the sound, making it versatile for genres like rock and metal with precise imaging, clarity, and emotional vocals despite the closed-back design. Driver matching ensures +/-2dB to target curve and 0.5dB channel balance (30-8kHz). Highly efficient and easy to drive, suitable for portable use with amps recommended for optimal performance. Praised for mesmerizing layering, depth, sparkle, and value under $1000, defying closed-back limitations in soundstage and resolution.
