rare capabilitiesNOIRE XO is a unique open headphone in that it's one of very few designs that can actually track the industry standard Harman target curve. This means that it 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’t come at the expense of soundstage and clarity!

NOIRE XO is designed around the new, updated, and improved NOIRE 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.

Extensive R&D investments were made to optimize other aspects of NOIRE XO’s 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.

Leveraging our state-of-the-art Audio Precision 555B and B&K 5128 measurement system, Dan Clark Audio have carefully integrated NOIRE XO’s new driver using patent-pending AMTS and redesigned ear pads to create an experience you will never forget.

Versatile Cable OptionsNOIRE XO offers a comprehensive range of cable terminations, including combo 1/4" and 3.5mm, 4-pin XLR, and 4.4mm. For those seeking additional flexibility in cable length and termination, they can be easily upgraded. With 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.
