Product information "Dan Clark Audio Noire XO "

The NOIRE XO is an open-back planar magnetic headphone designed to deliver outstanding acoustic performance, enhanced comfort, and exceptional value. As an evolution of the iconic AEON 2 Open, it integrates Dan Clark Audio’s advanced Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) with an improved driver, all housed in a refined and ergonomically enhanced design.

Featuring a striking black-on-black aesthetic, the NOIRE XO includes redesigned ear cushions, a self-adjusting headband, and beautifully crafted open-back earcups. These upgrades not only enhance its visual appeal but also improve comfort and usability, making it ideal for long listening sessions.

One of the defining characteristics of the NOIRE XO is its ability to closely match the industry-standard Harman target curve. This results in a remarkably balanced sound signature, combining deep and controlled bass—typically associated with closed-back headphones—with an open and spacious soundstage that preserves clarity and separation.

At its core is a newly developed planar magnetic driver that is stiffer, more consistent, and more reliable than previous generations. Advanced manufacturing techniques and optimized V-Planar design ensure a smooth frequency response with very low distortion, delivering a level of detail usually reserved for flagship models.

The integration of the Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) further refines the listening experience by eliminating high-frequency standing waves and shaping the frequency response with precision. The result is clear, natural, and airy high frequencies without harshness, making the NOIRE XO an exceptional choice for listeners seeking accuracy, detail, and long-term listening comfort.
