Dan Clark Audio NOIRE X™: Revolutionizing Acoustic Performance, Comfort, and Value

Introducing Dan Clark NOIRE X™, the groundbreaking evolution of our iconic AEON 2 NOIRE. Featuring DCA’s cutting-edge Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ (AMTS), an upgraded driver, and an elegantly enhanced ergonomic design, NOIRE X redefines what’s possible in midrange headphone performance. With its stunning black-on-black aesthetic, premium materials, and innovative technologies, NOIRE X is designed to deliver a listening experience that is as comfortable as it is captivating—all at an unprecedented price.


Breakthrough Acoustic Innovation: AMTS

At the heart of NOIRE X is DCA’s critically acclaimed Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ (AMTS), a technology previously reserved for our flagship models like Stealth and Expanse.
AMTS revolutionizes acoustic engineering by eliminating high-frequency standing waves, which are responsible for the harsh, synthetic tones often found in traditional headphones. The result?

  • Balanced, nuanced treble free from fatiguing artifacts.
  • A smooth, airy soundstage that immerses you in your music like never before.

Next-Generation Driver Technology

The NOIRE X features a reimagined planar magnetic driver with enhanced rigidity, improved consistency, and reduced distortion. This meticulous upgrade ensures:

  • Superior audio fidelity with a smoother frequency response.
  • Unparalleled detail and clarity rivaling top-tier models.
    By combining advanced manufacturing processes and proprietary V-Planar knurling, we’ve achieved a listening experience that bridges flagship performance with extraordinary value.

Designed for Supreme Comfort and Durability

  • Self-Tensioning Headband: Distributes pressure evenly for a barely-there fit, eliminating hot spots and ensuring fatigue-free listening for hours.
  • Upgraded Ear Pads: Crafted with Alcantara synthetic suede for cool, breathable comfort, these pads resist foam degradation, maintaining their fit and performance over time.
  • Gorilla Glass 3 Finish: The ear cups feature scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3 for a sleek, durable, and minimalist design, finished with the subtle NOIRE X logo.

Enhanced Connectivity for Every Setup

NOIRE X includes a versatile array of cable terminations, from combo 1/4" and 3.5mm tips to balanced 4-pin XLR and 4.4mm connectors. Upgrade to our premium VIVO cables for ultimate flexibility and performance, ensuring seamless compatibility with any amplifier or audio system.


Sonic Excellence Across All Genres

NOIRE X is crafted to deliver an expansive soundstage, punchy bass, silky midrange, and refined, vibrant highs. Whether you’re diving into classical compositions or rocking out to modern hits, NOIRE X brings your favorite music to life with extraordinary precision and depth.

  • Never fatiguing: Rediscover your music library without strain.
  • Immersive listening: Experience every detail with rich layers and unparalleled dynamics.

The Perfect Fusion of Performance and Value

With NOIRE X, DCA brings flagship-level technology and comfort to a wider audience, setting a new standard in midrange headphones. Combining cutting-edge innovation, ergonomic design, and a striking aesthetic, NOIRE X offers an exceptional value-to-performance ratio, making it a must-have for audiophiles and music lovers alike.
