Missing planar Close Back Headphone

[Avito]

Hi all.
Ill keep it short. I uave the Arya Organic, The Focal Azurys and the AT ADX-3000. Im missing a close back planar for my collection. So I was thinking about:
The Maxwells or the new LCD-S20.

But if you got another suggestion im open to it. My budget is 1000 us dlls.

Hi! Welcome to ASR.

Closed-back headphones are generally harder to recommend, as their sound is more affected by coupling and seal variations. In other words, you have to try them for yourself.

Take a look at Dan Clark Noire X:

'Dan Clark NOIRE X Headphone Review'

Nov 26, 2024

This is a review, listening tests, detailed measurements and optional EQ of Dan Clark Audio (DCA) NOIRE X closed back headphone. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $999.99.

This is one high quality and gorgeous headphone. It is more compact and lighter than my daily driver, the DCA E3 which I appreciate. It comes with a very flexible and nice (silicone?) cable with just the right length for desktop use.

As with the last few reference quality headphones from DCA, the NOIRE X uses "meta material" to tune the response of the headphone. Development process...
