Dan Clark Audio Aeon NOIRE X Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones

Aeon NOIRE X Closed-Back, Over-Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones, by Dan Clark Audio.

NOIRE X updates the iconic AEON 2 NOIRE by integrating DCA’s state-of-the-art Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ (AMTS™) with an improved driver, all carefully wrapped in a gorgeous ergonomically-enhanced design.

The beautiful NOIRE X headphones features a dramatic black-on-black aesthetic, improved ear pads, self-adjusting headband, and Gorilla Glass 3 clad cups, all of which sumptuously hint at the numerous exciting upgrades within, and all of which are designed to maximize your listening pleasure.

With NOIRE X, DCA sets a new standard in midrange headphone performance, comfort, and value.

AMTS

Perhaps the most important feature of NOIRE X is the addition of DCA’s critically-acclaimed AMTS tuning system, previously found only in top-of-the-line Stealth, Expanse, E3, and Corina headphone models.

Truly a revolution in acoustic engineering, AMTS uses advanced meta-material design concepts to shape the system frequency response while simultaneously eliminating high-frequency standing waves, which are responsible for the synthetic-sounding high frequencies that are found in all too many headphones.

By eliminating these standing waves, NOIRE X with AMTS delivers remarkably balanced, nuanced, and airy treble-free sound of the fatiguing artifacts that diminish your listening experience.

Better Tech - Better Sound

NOIRE X is designed around an updated and improved AEON audio driver. The new driver is significantly more rigid than it’s predecessor, with superior unit to unit consistency, reduced distortion, improved reliability, and smoothed frequency response.

Extensive R&D investments were made to optimize other aspects of NOIRE X’s planar driver. New manufacturing processes combined with highly optimized V-Planar knurling deliver a remarkably smooth frequency response with low distortion throughout the listening range, achieving levels of detail heretofore found primarily in our top-of-the-line headphones.

The DAC self-tensioning headband reduces listening fatigue by distributing pressure evenly across your head for a balanced, barely-there fit.

The uniform pressure distribution helps prevent hot spots and pressure points, making NOIRE X ideal for long hours of immersive listening, free from adjustments or strain.
