Embeds High-Quality Planar Driver For Smooth Frequency Response

Dan Clark NOIRE XO features an advanced NOIRE audio driver with significant improvements in rigidity, consistency, and reliability. Using V-Planar knurling technology and advanced manufacturing processes, this planar driver delivers exceptionally smooth frequency response with minimal distortion. The driver integration, measured using Audio Precision 555B and B&K 5128 systems, combines perfectly with the AMTS and redesigned ear pads for superior audio performance.

Features AMTS Tuning System To Deliver Remarkably Balanced Audio

Dan Clark NOIRE XO features the critically-acclaimed Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ tuning system, previously exclusive to their other flagship models. This revolutionary acoustic engineering system uses metamaterial design to precisely shape frequency response while eliminating high-frequency standing waves - a common cause of synthetic-sounding treble in many headphones. The result is a remarkably balanced, nuanced and airy sound signature without any fatiguing artefacts that could diminish from your listening experience.

Experience Balanced Sound Signature With Powerful Bass - Harman Target Curve

Dan Clark NOIRE XO is one of the few open headphones that tracks the industry-standard Harman target curve. What does this mean for listeners? Unlike most planar magnetic headphones, it delivers a truly balanced sound signature with powerful bass, typically found only in closed-back designs. Yet this impressive bass performance doesn't sacrifice soundstage or clarity!

Utilises All-New Earpads & Alcantara Synthetic Suede For Ultra-Comfort

Dan Clark NOIRE XO features all-new ear pads designed for exceptional comfort. The Alcantara synthetic suede contact surface minimises heat and moisture buildup, keeping you cool during long listening sessions—even in warm or humid conditions. These ear pads also reduce "foam rolling," ensuring longer durability and more consistent fit over time. The NOIRE XO ear pads are compatible with AEON 2 NOIRE, AEON RT Closed, and AEON 2 Closed headphones.

Features Self-Tensioning Headband For A Fatigueless Experience

Dan Clark NOIRE XO features a self-tensioning headband that 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 XO ideal for long hours of immersive listening, free from adjustments or strain. NOIRE XO's striking minimalist aesthetic is completed with the tone-on-tone understated colour-scheme.

Available with Three Different Cable Connections For Seamless Connectivity

Dan Clark NOIRE XO comes with versatile cable options, you can choose between 1/4" to 3.5mm, 4-pin XLR or 4.4mm terminations. These comprehensive cable options let you connect to any amplifier or audiophile-grade devices without needing expensive third-party cables, ensuring you get optimal performance from your audio setup.
