Dan Clark Audio Noire X Planar Magnetic Closed Headphones

NOIRE X™ updates our 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.

NOIRE X’s dramatic black-on-black aesthetic, redesigned ear pads, self-adjusting headband, and Gorilla Glass 3 clad cups sumptuously hint at the numerous exciting upgrades within, all designed to maximize your listening pleasure. With NOIRE X, Dan Clark audio sets a new standard in midrange headphone performance, comfort, and value.

Better Technology Means 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.

Leveraging our state-of-the-art Audio Precision 555B and B&K 5128 measurement system, we’ve carefully integrated NOIRE X’s new driver with our patent-pending AMTS and redesigned ear pads to create an experience we’re sure you’ll never forget.
