Headphone Guru has named the Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Noire as the Headphone of the Year. This version of the AEON 2 Closed headphones surpasses its predecessors in terms of sound quality and comfort. Unlike the AEON 2 Open, the AEON 2 Noire provides passive noise cancellation. It has received high praise from experts in the audio industry and has been awarded the prestigious "Headphone of the Year" title by Headphone Guru.
Features:
- The AEON 2 Noire features an asymmetric planar magnetic driver that measures 62 mm x 34 mm
- It has an impedance of 13 ohms
- The headphones utilize TrueFlow V2 technology
- They incorporate a V-Planar driver
- Passive noise cancellation is provided
- The low and high frequencies are enhanced
Key Difference
The tuning of the AEON 2 Noire is closely aligned with the "Harman curve," which gently amplifies the lows and highs compared to the AEON 2 Closed. As a result, it offers a "lighter" mid-frequency sound and a soundstage that positions the "stage" slightly further away from the listener.
TrueFlow V2 Technology and V-Planar Driver
The AEON 2 Noire headphones incorporate TrueFlow V2 technology, which enhances airflow through the driver, leading to improved dynamics (this is an improved version of the TrueFlow design found in the AEON 2).
The patented V-Planar driver optimizes the diaphragm surface, resulting in excellent low-frequency performance and enhanced diaphragm stability.
Material
The AEON 2 Noire is constructed entirely from titanium and aluminum, ensuring durability and high-quality sound, while still being lightweight and comfortable. The ear pads are made of leather and feature a perforated cushion, providing a new and improved sound experience.
Portability
The unique folding gimbal hinge, patented by Dan Clark Audio, allows for easy folding and storage of the AEON 2 Noire in the included carrying case. Additionally, the headphones have a lightweight design, weighing just 328 grams.
