Dekoni Audio Elite Earpads for Dan Clark Audio Aeon Series | Headphone Earpads
Regular price $69.99 Sale price $59.99 Save $10.00
Tax included.
Elite Sheepskin
When you take soft, supple sheepskin and wrap it in dense, slow rebounding memory foam, you increase isolation, comfort and sound stage.
The sheepskin and foam wrap create a tight but comfortable seal on your head, even if you wear glasses, to ensure that our discerning listeners have a great headphone experience.
Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin
Dekoni Audio has introduced a new era in ear pads with the new Fenestrated Sheepskin ear pad.
The pad is designed to be cooler and more comfortable than any other pad and has the added benefit of helping to give the headphone a cleaner sound stage by reducing reflections of the direct sound before entering the ear.
Elite Hybrid
Dekoni Audio created this Frankenstein from the best of all its pads, and it represents the pinnacle of the Dekoni brand.
The Elite Sheepskin outer ring improves isolation and the velour face gives a soft, velvety touch.
Add to the inside of the pad Dekoni’s Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin and you get the most neutral sound possible.

|
Bloom's Take The Noire XO is Dan Clark Audio’s most confident step into open-back territory yet — a planar magnetic headphone that doesn’t clamor for your attention but earns it through grace, balance, and emotional depth. Powered by a low-impedance, low-sensitivity driver system with integrated AMTS, the XO delivers tight control over its frequency response, emphasizing balance and spatial realism. Noire XO's bass performance stands out among open-backs — deep sub-bass extension and articulate punch rarely heard in this category. The midrange is clean and transparent, ideal for vocal clarity, while the treble showcases DCA’s finesse with no exaggerated peaks. XO’s imaging and staging are equally impressive, offering both width and intimacy, with a layered presentation that feels immersive without artificial exaggeration. It’s not a headphone that shouts, but one that gradually unveils its strengths — revealing technical precision beneath its warm, welcoming tone. While its relaxed delivery might not suit listeners craving edge or crunch, the Noire XO delivers a uniquely elegant sonic signature that balances technical rigor with musical richness — and cements its place as a standout in the $1000 open-back space. |
Noire XO
Noire XO is the open-back evolution of Noire X, bringing an expansive soundstage and full-spectrum performance rarely seen in open-back designs. The Noire XO stakes its claim as one of the few open headphones to follow the Harman Curve across all frequencies.
While the Noire XO retains beloved features from the Noire X, like the self-tensioning headband, it also introduces key upgrades. A newly engineered driver delivers greater consistency and reliability over previous AEON 2 designs, while redesigned ear pads minimize internal foam movement and feature a soft Alcantara suede contact surface for enhanced comfort.
Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS)
The NOIRE XO includes DCA’s acclaimed AMTS tuning system, previously exclusive to flagship models. AMTS utilizes advanced metamaterial design to refine frequency response and eliminate high-frequency standing waves, which often cause harsh, synthetic treble. The result is a balanced, detailed, and fatigue-free treble that enhances the overall listening experience.
Sound Experience
Dan Clark Audio reaches new heights with Noire XO's sound profile. By using their new 5128 measurement fixture, they have produced a high-frequency signature that is effortlessly pleasing. Noire XO is a true industry leader in presenting an accurately rendered deep soundstage with crystal-clear layering of instruments and voices.
Unlike typical open-back headphones, the Noire XO delivers not only a spacious and immersive soundstage but also powerful, clean bass. Listeners can enjoy precise imaging without compromising on an engaging bass experience.
Additional Features
Self-Tensioned Headband
DCA's self-tensioning headband reduces listening fatigue by distributing pressure evenly across your head for a balanced, barely there fit. The uniform pressure distribution helps prevent hot-spots and pressure-points, making NOIRE XO ideal for long hours of immersive listening, free from adjustments or strain.
Luxurious Comfort
NOIRE XO features redesigned ear pads with Alcantara synthetic suede for superior comfort, reducing heat and moisture buildup during extended sessions. The pads minimize foam wear ("foam rolling") for improved durability and consistency.

Dan Clark Audio ETHER 2 | Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones
Regular price $2,199.00
Tax included.
|
Our Take
Light as a feather and resolving as heck, the ETHER 2 is next level. Dan Clark took everything great about the ETHER and upgraded it in every conceivable way. Supremely dynamic, you'll feel the music deep in your body. If you're looking for planar magnetics under two gees, ETHER 2 is one of our top picks. |
From Dan Clark Audio (MrSpeakers)
ETHER 2 is an all-new top of the line open-back planar magnetic headphone with a new driver, motor, baffle, and headband all designed to synergistically blend stunningly lifelike sound with the industry-leading comfort and reliability that are the hallmarks of MrSpeakers' products. ETHER 2 has an entirely new motor designed around the concept of TrueFlow technology. Instead of designing TrueFlow into the motor, we designed the motor around the TrueFlow technology to realize a major improvement in linearity, dynamics, and detail. And we didn’t stop there.
To make the most of the increased resolution of the motor we developed an all-new diaphragm that’s 70% less aluminum trace weight than the original ETHER driver. As a result, ETHER 2 delivers incredible clarity, powerful, fast bass, liquid mids, and a smooth, balanced top end that’s incredibly resolving yet not at all bright to deliver a coherent, dynamic and remarkably balanced performance.
Shedding Weight, Not Strength
ETHER 2 is light. Really light, almost 90 grams or 3.75 ounces lighter than our comfortable ETHER Flow headphones. Amazingly, this weight drop didn’t involve switching from metal to plastic components, which would compromise sound and reduce product life. Nope.
ETHER 2 sports an all-metal headphone cup and headband, with a carbon fiber driver baffle, so it’s built to last, in style. At under 290g, ETHER 2 is not only the lightest full size planar magnetic headphone on the market and it may be the lightest top-of-the-line headphone from any high-end vendor.
Ultralightweight design with a new ergonomic ear pad and an enhanced webbed head-strap combine to make ETHER 2 the new standard in high-performance headphone comfort and ergonomics.
Get Wired with VIVO!
We didn’t stop at upgrades to the headphone, either. While our original DUM (Distinctly Un-Magical) cable was a great performer, it was a bit stiffer and more microphonic than we wanted, so we set out to upgrade the cable.
Meet VIVO, our new flagship cable! For sound quality, this fully-custom cable design incorporates silver plated OFHC copper and top-quality connectors available in 6’ and 10’ 1/4” and 4-pin XLR terminations, and portable-friendly 3.5’ 2.5, 3.5, and 4.4mm cables. VIVO projects a wide open and holographic soundstage with precise imaging and tons of smooth detail.
And VIVO feels as good as it looks, and sounds. VIVO has a remarkably supple feel and is so light you’ll hardly notice it’s there and careful construction means it’s non-microphonic for comfortable and “quiet” listening.

Dan Clark Audio E3 | Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones
Sale price $1,999.00
Tax included.
Dan Clark Audio E3 Brings New Innovations to Closed-Back Headphones
- An exciting new Closed-back headphone following the footsteps of Stealth
- Uses DCA's Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning to achieve maximum closed-back performance
- New tech such as Dual-Mode Bass Port and Gorilla Glass
- Same lightweight frame as DCA's Stealth and Expanse for incredible comfort
|
Bloom's Take For some time now, there’s been a strong demand for a new top-tier closed-back headphone that doesn't wipe out your bank account. We’re often asked for a recommendation, and our de facto response is typically a short list: the Meze Liric, Focal Stellia, or we send them over to ZMF for their Vérité closed-back. But with Dan Clark’s new E3, we finally have a new recommendation to throw into the arsenal of favorite closed-backs. E3 aims to take the innovative tech from DCA’s flagship Stealth and Expanse and make it more accessible with a closed-back for half their price. It features a refined version of DCA’s Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System, and it’s lightweight and extremely comfortable with the same “melt onto your head” build that’s made DCA a go-to brand for comfort. Particularly noteworthy are the visually striking Gorilla Glass ear cups developed to relieve pressure and decrease fatigue. E3 follows in the footsteps of its older siblings with a classic Harman tuning. There’s tastefully elevated bass with linear extension into the lows, an extra midbass bump and solid fundamentals in the treble. E3 is also surprisingly open-sounding and surpasses expectations for a closed-back with its width and height in the soundstage achieving a "legendary open-back listening experience in a closed headphone." Like most DCA cans, E3 is a bit tougher to drive than most headphones, and seems to sing sweeter with an amp that provides a lot of juice. With its driver tech and AMTS, E3 delivers great performance and a well-balanced sound. In some ways, it delivers a livelier, more musical feeling than the Stealth at half the price making E3 one of the best closed-backs on the market and extremely competitive. |
Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS)
A critical feature of E3 is the enhanced AMTS tuning system, previously found only in their TOTL multi-award-winning Stealth, Expanse, and Corina headphones. E3 not only brings this ground-breaking technology to a more affordable headphone, it does so with a new mode of implementation.
All headphones are subject to HF standing waves which can make treble sound harsh, fatiguing, or synthetic. AMTS is a patent pending inline device placed between the transducer and ear that integrates waveguides, diffusion control, and resonators into one compact structure that eliminates standing waves while giving us complete control of the high frequency response profile.
AMTS isn't a "one size fits all" technology. It's custom tuned for each headphone to deliver an optimized experience for each transducer. For E3, DCA developed a new mode of deployment that delivers an absolutely superbly rendered top-end that will surprise and delight, with a tone that is remarkably lifelike.
Planar Driver Performance Revisited
E3’s all-new 5th gen planar-magnetic driver incorporates innovative diaphragms made on an all-new tensioning system for a more uniform and consistent performance. New diaphragm materials combined with highly optimized "V-Planar knurling" deliver a remarkably smooth frequency response with low distortion throughout the listening range for levels of detail more often found in TOTL electrostatics. E3’s new drivers coupled with AMTS deliver exceptionally high resolution without the fatiguing distortions and rough frequency response users may be used to.
What are Those Holes in the Glass?
That would be the Dual-Mode Bass Port, another DCA innovation. While it’s not unusual to find a bass port on a closed headphone, our ingenious dual-mode port delivers unrivaled control of the bass frequency response, creating a superbly balanced, impactful bass experience that is full of power yet free of bloat or midrange creep.
Why Gorilla Glass?
Gorilla Glass 3 is a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate that makes the glass stiffer and more scratch and break resistant. The styling of the pattern under the glass evokes the mesh of an open-back headphone, a design cue to highlight the exceptionally open-back listening experience E3 delivers.
Enough Geek Talk - How Does it Sound?
E3’s 5th-Gen driver and AMTS deliver an amazing balance of delicacy, nuance, and explosive dynamics that will have you reaching for all your favorite recordings. And it’s not just about the tone and timbre: E3's soundstage is stunningly expansive, all-enveloping, and can compete with even the finest open headphones in depth, width, and imaging.
Comfort is Still King
At DCA, ergonomic design is of paramount importance. What good is a great sounding headphone if you can only wear it for 30 minutes? E3 takes advantage of every ergonomic trick DCA developed, including the acclaimed self-adjusting headband suspension system from Stealth and Expanse, and the convenient and stylish folding gimbals that make E3 a conveniently compact travel headphone.

Dan Clark Audio Corina | Reference Electrostatic Headphones
Regular price $4,499.00
Tax included.
The All New Corina, a Bold New Take on Electrostatic Headphones from Award Winning Designer Dan Clark Audio
- Electrostats tuned to perform even with rock and electronic music
- Utilizes patent-pending Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System
- Attention to detail down to the level of matching suede earpads that reduce heat and moisture buildup
- Enhanced comfort featuring self-tensioning headband design
Award-Winning Legacy
Several years ago, Dan Clark Audio entered the Electrostatic headphone market with the release of VOCE. Since its introduction, VOCE has won numerous awards for "Product of the Year" and "Best Headphone" from preeminent publications such as Positive Feedback, Absolute Sound, Headphonics, and Headphone Guru.
But as usual, the team at Dan Clark Audio strives to continuously advance the performance of their products, and today they proudly introduce the CORINA Reference Electrostatic Headphone, taking electrostatic musicality into a future of fun!
Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS)
Incorporating the Advanced Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS), CORINA is DCA's first electrostatic headphone featuring their industry-leading AMTS technology first seen with the groundbreaking Stealth and Expanse headphones. With AMTS, frequency response is significantly smoother throughout the midrange and high frequencies, free of annoying “peaks and holes” for a smoother, more complete, accurate, and enjoyable listening experience.
AMTS allows DCA to re-imagine the voicing of CORINA to deliver the most natural midrange heard in an electrostatic to date. From powerful bass to the incredibly rich and well-balanced mids and highs, CORINA delivers an incredibly smooth and lifelike experience, full of electrostatic resolution, yet free from the high-frequency emphasis / glare common to many electrostatics.
New Voicing
By reducing the emphasis on higher frequencies typical of many electrostatics headphones, VOCE delivered a new take on how the electrostatic headphone could sound. With a wider and deeper soundstage, a stronger bottom end, and a smoother, richer midrange, CORINA delivers a fun, yet lifelike tone with sumptuous vocals and bass that really kicks. Unlike many electrostatics, CORINA is even fun with electronica and rock.
Ear Pad Matching
New ear pads have been developed with enhanced ergonomics, including a synthetic suede surface for the face contact, avoiding sweat and “hot spots” common to headphones. There’s more to ear pads than just their comfort, though. As most listeners know, ear pads can affect the sound of headphones dramatically.
While drivers can be precision matched, ear pads, which involve welding or stitching fabrics and use of foams, have always limited the actual tolerances of the headphone. All CORINA new and replacement ear pads are delivered as matched pairs to further tighten the tolerances between the left and right channels and reduce unit-to unit-variances.
Multiple Comfort Enhancements
CORINA utilizes the new self-tensioning headband design found in the flagship Stealth and Expanse headphones, for an incredibly comfortable yet hassle-free fit. Paired with the new ear pads and using DCA's signature titanium alloy headband design, CORINA is incredibly comfortable to wear.
New Industrial Design
Dan Clark Audio has always taken pride in industrial design, and CORINA is no exception. With its striking new grey finish and sculpted grill, CORINA is as much a delight to the eyes as it is to the ears.

Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Noire | Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones
Regular price $899.00
Tax included.
Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Noire Adds Some Fun to the AEON 2 Sound
- Closed-back planar magnetic headphones
- Portable closed-back design makes them perfect for travel or office use
- Takes the accurate, transparent tuning of the AEON 2 and adds a touch of extra bass for a more engaging dynamic sound
|
Bloom's Take The original AEON 2 Closed turned heads with its style and performance, and the Noire adds a fresh element to the sound. If you're looking for a more fun, slightly v-shaped sound, Noire's updated pads emphasize the bass while adding a little sparkle to the treble to expand your sonic options. |
Noire Gives AEON 2 a Dark New Voice
Dan Clark Audio is proud to introduce the special edition ÆON 2 Noire. The ÆON 2 Noire is the latest entry in our award-winning ÆON line of headphones. Based on the ÆON 2 Closed, ÆON 2 Noire offers a new voicing to deliver a lively and involving musical experience with a stunning high-gloss all-black styling.
Same Singer, New Voice
ÆON 2 Noire uses perforated ear pads to create a unique sonic signature with a richer bass, airier midrange, and a more lively top end than the classic ÆON 2 Closed. While you can apply the perforated pads to an ÆON 2 Closed to get the same sound, this popular tuning (which the New York Times said was the best sound under $2,000) is now available through ÆON 2 Noire, right out of the box.
Back in Black
With a stunning high-gloss metallic paint, genuine carbon fiber, and an all-black finish ÆON2 Noire is quite an eye-catching design. Striking looks and a unique and exciting sound will make the new ÆON 2 Noire a great addition to your headphone arsenal.
