    Dan Clark NOIRE X Headphone Review

    Hi, the pads use a tape, and so some people say "glue" which is technically not really correct, though of course tape is an adhesive. The pads can be easily replaced, and we maintain pad availability for years after products are no longer made, for example we still have Alpha and Ether pads...

    Our distributor in China has not yet placed an order due to the tariff situation. At this time your best bet would be to order direct from us or from one of our retail partners.

    All of our aeon line have been in this range for 8 years. Most modern amps are just fine with it, the biggest effect is daps where the number capable of driving to higher spls is limited in number.

    Dan Clark NOIRE XO Headphone Review

    Uh oh, a subjective question. I find the XO to be more open with a bigger soundstage and a big livelier tuning. X s a bit mellower with a little more upper bass while XO feels like it reaches deeper. Around 60hz if I Recall correctly, but I’m flying to Munich and can’t really check… it...

    Dan Clark NOIRE XO Headphone Review

    It’s not quite that the headphone will draw more power, it’s that the headphone can push more air if the seal is imperfect. In a high acoustic impedance design, when the seal breaks you can’t build pressure in the cup as easily, the pressure just bleeds out causing bass rolloff. If the driver...

    That is really not the case... Choosing the wrong material for a planar driver can materially elevate distortion, Kapton for example is super strong and incredibly stable but will generate very high levels of distortion relative to Mylar. Mylar has different formulations or production...

    Interestingly the 5128 target shows a wave in just this region, as you'll see when my post #2 is updated (it won't let me edit but I've sent Rob the content to insert). In this region NXO measures very flat but the target has a wobble, which results in about the same shallow dip at 600Hz...

    Gosh my error, thanks for the catch! Typing on a phone without my glasses = bad idea.

    Dan Clark NOIRE XO Headphone Review

    The comment simply refers to the fact that circumaural headphones lose bass if the ear pad isn’t sealed well to the head. How much bass loss occurs is a function of the acoustic impedance of the headphone. Closed cups increase the acoustic impedance, so when you have a seal issue, such as with...

    The headphone has less base loss with leakage as it’s open back, and therefore lower acoustic impedance. (Not competence as originally posted).

    ~410gr Yup, so will I! Stop by and say hello! There is an option for XLR, there's no extra charge if you order the headphone with that cable. You can order the XLR option direct on our website. Most dealers just carry the 1/4"+3.5mm dual tip though some of the higher volume dealers like...

    Dan Clark NOIRE X Headphone Review

    NOIRE X and E3 are less sensitive than our other closed headphones but they are still sensitive if the glasses really open a gap. Most closed back headphones are subject to this to some degree, as the cup increases the acoustic impedance of the system. For readers, you can try just putting the...

    Glad you enjoy the sound, happily we can help with the clamp force. It's easy to reduce, just email [email protected] and Sue will help. We do find a few people with larger or very small hat sizes may need adjustment and we can resolve issues at either end of the fit bell-curve....
