What does this mean for the listener? For starters, this is one of the very few planar magnetic headphone designs that can actually produce a truly balanced sound signature, with the powerful bass more typically associated with closed back designs. But that bass doesn\u2019t come at the expense of soundstage and clarity!<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOIRE XO<\/strong> is designed around our new, updated, and improved <strong>NOIRE<\/strong> audio driver. The new driver is significantly more rigid than its predecessor, with superior unit-to-unit consistency, reduced distortion, improved reliability, and smoothed frequency response.<\/p>\n<p>Extensive R&amp;D investments were made to optimize other aspects of <strong>NOIRE XO\u2019s<\/strong> planar driver. New manufacturing processes combined with highly optimized V-Planar knurling deliver a remarkably smooth frequency response with low distortion throughout the listening range, achieving levels of detail heretofore found primarily in our top-of-the-line headphones.<\/p>\n<p>Leveraging our state-of-the-art Audio Precision 555B and B&amp;K 5128 measurement system, we\u2019ve carefully integrated <strong>NOIRE XO\u2019s<\/strong> new driver with our patent-pending AMTS and redesigned ear pads to create an experience we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n<h4>Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS)<\/h4>\n<p>Perhaps the most important feature of <strong>NOIRE XO<\/strong> is the addition of <strong>Dan Clark Audio\u2019s<\/strong> critically-acclaimed AMTS tuning system, previously found only in our top-of-the-line <strong>Stealth<\/strong>, <strong>Expanse<\/strong>, <strong>E3<\/strong> and <strong>Corina<\/strong> headphones.<\/p>\n<p>Truly a revolution in acoustic engineering, AMTS uses advanced metamaterial design concepts to shape system frequency response while simultaneously eliminating high-frequency standing waves, which are responsible for the synthetic-sounding high frequencies found in all too many headphones.<\/p>\n<p>By eliminating these standing waves, <strong>NOIRE XO<\/strong> with AMTS delivers remarkably balanced, nuanced, and airy treble free of the fatiguing artifacts that diminish your listening experience.<\/p>\n<h4>Luxurious Comfort with Upgraded Ear Pads<\/h4>\n<p><strong>NOIRE XO<\/strong> includes all-new ear pads to ensure an exceptionally comfortable experience. Using Alcantara synthetic suede on the contact surface reduces heat and moisture buildup, ensuring cool comfort during extended listening sessions, even in warmer or more humid environments.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the <strong>NOIRE XO<\/strong> Ear Pads are designed to reduce \u201cfoam rolling,\u201d so the pads will have a longer usable life, and a more consistent fit and operation. <strong>NOIRE XO<\/strong> Ear Pads are backward compatible with our <strong>AEON 2 NOIRE<\/strong>, <strong>AEON RT<\/strong> Closed, and <strong>AEON 2<\/strong> Closed headphones.<\/p>\n<h4>Self-Tensioning Headband<\/h4>\n<p>Our self-tensioning headband reduces listening fatigue by distributing pressure evenly across your head for a balanced, barely-there fit.<\/p>\n<p>The uniform pressure distribution helps prevent hot spots and pressure points, making <strong>NOIRE XO<\/strong> ideal for long hours of immersive listening, free from adjustments or strain. <strong>NOIRE XO\u2019s<\/strong>striking minimalist aesthetic is completed with the tone-on-tone understated color-scheme.<\/p>\n<h4>Enhanced Connectivity with Versatile Cable Options<\/h4>\n<p><strong>NOIRE XO<\/strong> offers a comprehensive range of cable terminations, including combo 1\/4\u2033 and 3.5mm, 4-pin XLR, and 4.4mm. For those seeking additional flexibility in cable length and termination, it\u2019s easy to upgrade to our ultra-premium <strong>VIVO<\/strong> cables for more choices, including custom cable lengths.<\/p>\n<p>With these versatile cable options, you can pair your headphones with any amplifier, eliminating the need for costly third-party cables and ensuring you get the most out of your audio setup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33749\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dan-Clark-Audio-Noire-XO-Open-Back-Planar-Magnetic-Headphones-desc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1290\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dan-Clark-Audio-Noire-XO-Open-Back-Planar-Magnetic-Headphones-desc.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dan-Clark-Audio-Noire-XO-Open-Back-Planar-Magnetic-Headphones-desc-400x140.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dan-Clark-Audio-Noire-XO-Open-Back-Planar-Magnetic-Headphones-desc-768x268.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dan-Clark-Audio-Noire-XO-Open-Back-Planar-Magnetic-Headphones-desc-430x150.jpg 430w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dan-Clark-Audio-Noire-XO-Open-Back-Planar-Magnetic-Headphones-desc-700x244.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dan-Clark-Audio-Noire-XO-Open-Back-Planar-Magnetic-Headphones-desc-150x52.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>NOIRE XO<\/strong> updates <strong>Dan Clark Audio\u2019s<\/strong> iconic <strong>AEON 2<\/strong> open-back by integrating <strong>Dan Clark Audio\u2019s<\/strong> state-of-the-art Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) with an improved driver, all carefully wrapped in a gorgeous ergonomically-enhanced design. <strong>NOIRE XO\u2019s<\/strong>dramatic black-on-black aesthetic, improved ear pads, self-adjusting headband, and beautiful open cups sumptuously hint at the numerous exciting upgrades within, all designed to maximize your listening pleasure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36418,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[804],"product_cat":[405,322],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-36416","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-dan-clark-audio","7":"product_cat-wired-headphones","8":"product_cat-portable-audio","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/36416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/36416\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48894,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/36416\/revisions\/48894"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=36416"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=36416"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=36416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
