Sleek all-black edition with perforated pads – smooth, detailed, and more spacious
ÆON 2 Noire is Dan Clark Audio’s answer to a request heard again and again: an elegant, fully black edition with perforated earpads. It blends the ÆON 2’s smooth, highly detailed character with a larger stage and even more natural midrange reproduction.
Rather than plastic, Dan Clark Audio uses carbon fiber for the earcups and pairs it with aluminum and titanium for maximum stiffness. At just 328 grams, ÆON 2 Noire is among the most comfortable—and most robust—headphones in its class.
Every planar magnetic headphone from Dan Clark Audio features a fully in-house developed driver. Not an off-the-shelf transducer, but real engineering: Noire’s highly efficient driver uses TrueFlow 2.0, the patented technology that improves airflow through the motor for higher resolution and finer micro-dynamics.
The V-Planar diaphragm, another Dan Clark exclusive, enhances low-frequency performance and improves diaphragm stability.
Thanks to the patented folding gimbal mechanism, ÆON 2 Noire stores securely in a very compact carrying case. It sets a new benchmark for portable high-end headphones—ideal for travelers who want luxurious sound and refined design anywhere.
