Never tiring, the Noire X will make you revisit your entire music library to experience music like never before.
Features:
- Signature AMTS technology
- Improved V-Planar driver
- New Alcantara earpads
- Cups with Gorilla Glass
- Signature VIVO cable
The stunning aesthetics of the Noire X in "black on black," improved earpads, self-adjusting headband, and cups with Gorilla Glass 3 accents highlight many interesting enhancements designed for maximum listening pleasure. With the Noire X, Dan Clark Audio sets a new standard of performance, comfort, and value in high-end headphones.
The Noire X is built on the updated and improved AEON audio driver. The new driver is significantly stiffer than its predecessor, with an improved diaphragm sequence, reduced distortion, increased reliability, and a smoothed frequency response.
Significant investments in research and development have been made to optimize other aspects of the Noire X planar driver. New manufacturing processes combined with highly optimized V-cut notches provide an amazingly smooth frequency response with low distortion throughout the listening range. Achieving a level of detail that has mainly been associated with top-tier headphones.
Using the most advanced measurement systems Audio Precision 555B and B & K 5128, engineers carefully integrated the new Noire X driver with the signature AMTS technology and updated earpads to create an impression that you will never forget.
AMTS - Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System
Perhaps the most important feature of the Noire X is the addition of the AMTS tuning system, previously only found in high-end Stealth, Expanse, E3, and Corina headphones. A true revolution in acoustic engineering, AMTS uses advanced metamaterial design technologies to shape the frequency response of the system, simultaneously eliminating high-frequency standing waves responsible for synthetic high-frequency sound inherent in many headphones.
By eliminating these standing waves, the Noire X with AMTS delivers incredibly balanced, detailed, and airy highs without the tiring distortions that diminish the quality of your listening experience.
Self-Adjusting Headband
The self-adjusting headband reduces fatigue during listening, evenly distributing pressure across the head's surface, providing a balanced, barely noticeable sound. Uniform pressure distribution helps prevent the formation of "hot spots," making the Noire X an ideal solution for extended immersive listening without adjustments or tension.
Gorilla Glass
The Noire X headphones are stunning, yet restrained, from the stitched headband to the all-new cups covered with Gorilla Glass 3. Gorilla Glass 3 is a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate glass that makes the glass more rigid and resistant to scratches and breakage compared to conventional glass compositions.
Luxurious Comfort with Enhanced Earpads
The Noire X comes with all-new earpads that provide exceptionally comfortable sound. The Alcantara synthetic suede on the contact surface reduces heat and moisture buildup, ensuring cool comfort during extended listening sessions, even in warmer or humid environments. Additionally, the Noire X earpads are designed to reduce "foam rolling," so they will have a longer lifespan and more stable fit and performance. The Noire X earpads are backward compatible with AEON 2 NOIRE, AEON RT Closed, and AEON 2 Closed headphones.
Extended Connectivity Options with Universal Cable Variants
The Noire X offers a wide range of cable connectors, including combined 2.5mm and 3.5mm, 4-pin XLR connectors, and 4.4mm. For those looking for additional flexibility in cable length and termination, you can easily switch to premium-class VIVO cables for a wider selection, including non-standard cable lengths. With these universal cable options, you can connect the headphones to any amplifier, eliminating the need for expensive cables from third-party manufacturers and ensuring maximum sound tuning benefits.
