Product details

Dan Clark Audio NOIRE XO is an open-back planar magnetic headphone combining an updated driver with the Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS). Its black finish and folding design bring together refined acoustics and practical handling.

Driver and acoustic tuning

Dan Clark Audio uses V-Planar driver processing and AMTS to control frequency response and high-frequency standing waves. The updated driver is designed for improved consistency and reduced distortion.

Comfort for longer listening

A self-tensioning headband distributes pressure without manual adjustment. Alcantara contact surfaces on the redesigned pads help manage heat and moisture.

Connections and portability

The folding structure packs down for travel. Cable termination options include combined 3.5 mm / 6.35 mm, 4-pin XLR and 4.4 mm; the supplied termination depends on the selected configuration.
