As an update to the iconic AEON 2 NOIRE, NOIRE X incorporates Dan Clark Audio’s state-of-the-art Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ (AMTS™) and an enhanced planar driver, delivering exceptional sound clarity and tonal accuracy. Its dramatic black-on-black aesthetic, improved ear pads, and Gorilla Glass 3-clad ear cups make it a visually stunning and highly functional audio accessory.

Engineered for versatility and comfort, the NOIRE X is a game-changer in its class. Whether you’re an audiophile or casual listener, these headphones offer remarkable value by combining luxurious materials with groundbreaking acoustic engineering. Designed to deliver a fully immersive audio experience, NOIRE X is the perfect companion for all music genres and listening environments.

Superior Audio Innovation with AMTS™

A defining feature of the NOIRE X is its integration of the Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ (AMTS™), a revolutionary technology previously found only in Dan Clark Audio’s flagship models. AMTS™ eliminates high-frequency standing waves, which often result in artificial-sounding highs in other headphones. The result is a balanced, airy treble that is both detailed and free from fatigue, making long listening sessions a pleasure.

The AMTS™ system, combined with a newly developed planar driver, ensures the most accurate and lifelike reproduction of sound. Extensive research and advanced measurement systems have enabled Dan Clark Audio to optimize the driver’s performance, achieving lower distortion, improved dynamics, and a smoother frequency response. Whether you’re listening to orchestral masterpieces or bass-heavy tracks, NOIRE X excels in delivering nuanced, high-fidelity sound.

Refined Aesthetics and Materials

The NOIRE X boasts a sleek, minimalist black-on-black design, exuding understated elegance. The ear cups are encased in Gorilla Glass 3, a durable material that is more resistant to scratches and damage than conventional glass, ensuring the headphones maintain their premium appearance over time. Paired with a stitched headband and subtle NOIRE X branding, these headphones seamlessly combine style with durability.

The lightweight construction ensures that the headphones are not only visually appealing but also practical for extended wear. The durable materials, combined with ergonomic enhancements, make the NOIRE X a robust and long-lasting addition to any audio setup.

Unmatched Comfort for Long Listening Sessions

The self-tensioning headband is designed to evenly distribute pressure across the head, providing a barely-there fit that eliminates pressure points and hotspots. The redesigned ear pads are crafted with Alcantara synthetic suede, a breathable material that minimizes heat and moisture buildup, ensuring optimal comfort during marathon listening sessions.

These upgrades make the NOIRE X one of the most comfortable headphones in its class, allowing users to focus solely on their music without distractions. The ear pads are also backward-compatible with earlier AEON models, offering flexibility and extended usability.

Versatile Cable Options for Any Setup

NOIRE X offers a comprehensive range of cable terminations at the base price, including combo 1/4″ and 3.5mm tips, 4-pin XLR, and 4.4mm. For those seeking premium connectivity, the headphones are compatible with Dan Clark Audio’s VIVO cables, available in custom lengths and terminations. These versatile cable options make the NOIRE X adaptable to any audio setup, from portable DACs to high-end amplifiers, eliminating the need for additional third-party accessories.

This flexibility ensures that you can enjoy the full potential of your audio setup, whether you’re on the go or in a dedicated listening environment.

A Listening Experience Like No Other

The NOIRE X delivers an expansive soundstage, punchy bass, silky midrange, and vibrantly smooth highs, making it equally satisfying across all genres of music. Its low distortion and meticulously tuned frequency response ensure that every note and detail are faithfully reproduced. Whether you’re rediscovering old favorites or diving into new tracks, the NOIRE X keeps you engaged with its immersive sound and effortless clarity.

With its balanced tonality and fatigue-free treble, NOIRE X offers an unparalleled listening experience that encourages you to revisit your entire music library. It’s a headphone designed not only to meet but exceed the expectations of discerning listeners, setting a new benchmark in midrange headphone performance.
