The ÆON 2 Noire is a version of the award-winning ÆON headphone line. Based on the ÆON 2 Closed, the ÆON 2 Noire offers a different sound signature that is more vivid and engaging, and comes in an attractive high-gloss black finish.

ÆON 2 Noire uses perforated ear pads to create a unique sound signature with richer bass, airier mids, and more vibrant highs than the classic ÆON 2 Closed. While you can of course fit the perforated pads to an ÆON 2 Closed to achieve the same sound, this popular tuning (which the New York Times called the best sound under $2,000) is now available through the ÆON 2 Noire, right out of the box.

The original ÆON Flow broke new ground with its ergonomic and stylish industrial design, which is a hallmark of Dan Clark Audio designs. The world's lightest planar magnetic headphone, which impressed both the press and our customers with its sound, has been greatly improved in its version 2.

The driver has been greatly improved based on the insights gained during the development of the Ether 2. The new ear pads now isolate more effectively thanks to their thicker side walls and are also backward compatible with the first-generation pads.

Since the ÆON was a popular headphone for home and on-the-go use, the desire for more compactness was often expressed. Dan Clark Audio has fulfilled this wish and developed an ingenious gimbal folding headband that ensures the ÆON disappears into an extremely compact case for transport. Of course, the extremely low weight of 321 grams remains, which has a positive effect, especially during longer listening sessions and when traveling.
