Dan Clark Audio STEALTH – Closed-Back Reference Headphone

Breakthrough 4th-generation planar driver and Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System redefine what closed headphones can do.

STEALTH is the all-new flagship closed-back headphone from Dan Clark Audio, four years in development. Featuring the new 4th-generation planar magnetic driver and the patent-pending Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS), it delivers a smooth, refined, and natural listening experience with outstanding detail and realism.

Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS)

AMTS integrates waveguides, diffusion control, and Helmholtz resonators into a compact module placed between driver and ear. It eliminates high-frequency standing waves that cause harshness, producing smooth, accurate treble with remarkable clarity and ease. The result: fatigue-free precision across all genres.

4th-Generation Planar Magnetic Driver

STEALTH’s new v-Planar™ 4th-gen driver is 20% larger than the ÆON 2 driver and features improved diaphragm tensioning for uniformity, low distortion and extended low frequencies. The combination of the new driver and AMTS provides the smoothest, richest, and most detailed sound DCA has ever created.

Sound & Soundstage

STEALTH redefines detail: ultra-low distortion and a natural, non-fatiguing resolution rivaling top electrostatics. Its soundstage is immersive, wide, and deep, providing a sense of space and instrument placement that lets the headphones “disappear.”

Mechanical Design & Materials

Inspired by stealth aircraft, STEALTH features carbon/aluminum bonded cups and luxury-car-level finishing. The quilted leather headband with red stitching is both elegant and functional, while the embroidered logo adds a subtle accent to its all-black design.

Comfort & Ergonomics

STEALTH introduces a self-adjusting suspension system that ensures a perfect fit every time. The vegan leather and suede pads offer a gentle seal and luxurious feel, while the 415 g weight makes it one of the lightest high-end closed headphones. Folding gimbals allow compact storage for travel.
