## Description

desertcart.com: DROP + Dan Clark Audio Aeon Planar Magnetic Headphones - Closed-Back, Over Ear, Carbon Fiber, Audiophile (Aeon Closed X), Blue/Black : Electronics

Review: As close to perfection $500 will buy you. - I had high expectations and they were exceeded in spades. This is seriously as close to perfect for a closed back you can possibly get for $500 IMO. Build quality A+ Comfort A+ Sound A+ Cable A Accessories A+ My score: 9.95/10 Now, let's talk about how these sound; out of the box with the single notch inserts they sound very good. But; what I found works much better and takes this headphone to a completely different stratosphere is: Remove ALL inserts and EQ this thing to be closer to harman (even though it's close as is). You can find the EQ settings in forums if you just google it. It opens up the headphone in a way that is almost unbelievable; Extended sound stage, bass extension with a good kick and rumble but not excessive or muddy, smooth mids, creamy detailed treble... Vocals are exceptional, strings sound amazing too. Before EQ while decent, it sounds compressed in comparison. Not all headphones respond to EQ like this, trust me it's worth it. Right after EQ I thought: "I can't put these down. It's like a whole new dimension of musical enjoyment has opened up and I don't want to leave. Truly fantastic, I'm gobsmacked." I'm using an Asus Xonar Essence STX (pcie version) to drive it. It's powerful enough for sure, on normal gain it gets plenty loud at 55% volume, on high gain anything above 35% is screaming loud. While, it might not be the best source it's good enough, it sounds clean and it's a good pairing for the money IMO if you mainly use a computer. Of course, a high end HIFI desktop setup with balanced cables will sound better, but honestly to me it sounds amazing as is. Overall; I can't recommend these headphones enough.
Review: Excellent headphones with powerful amplifier! - Very good headphones. However you need powerful amp to drive them. Seeing comments these headphones got a bad rap because people were purchasing them, then plugged into their phones and they did not sound good. They returned them, saying sounded bad. I have a powerful amp, they sound excellent! For the price, these punch way above their price. I highly recommend but only if you have power to drive them. If you're using your phone or computer with a dongle, they will not sound good.

## Features

- A planar magnetic favorite goes closed-back: Our last collaboration with Dan Clark Audio—the Aeon Open X—was an instant hit in the world of planar magnetic open-back headphones. Now, we’re unveiling it in a closed-back variation: the Aeon Closed X.Specific uses for product : Home
- Warm and punchy audio: A refinement of the Aeon Flow Series, these passive-isolating headphones feature the same warm and punchy audio, excellent power response, and ultra-comfortable fit as their predecessors.
- Improved soundstage: Where they improve on the Flow Series is in the soundstage: we added partially fenestrated earpads and reduced driver dampening to even the tone and minimize reverberation.
- Passive noise isolation: The Aeon Closed X achieve substantial passive noise isolation with closed-back earcups—making the Aeon Closed X a great choice for listening at home or on the go.
- The Dan Clark Audio difference: Dan Clark is a renowned audio engineer who has been working in the high-end audio market for more than 20 years. In founding Dan Clark Audio, his mission was simple: to create high-quality headphones that allow listeners to experience incredible audio and nothing less.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound, decent for work
*by M***. on October 9, 2023*

Why would one get a closed back headphone? The open back ones sound plain better. But those are basically acoustically-transparent (kinda the point), so are almost useless in noisy environments. Imagine the office from "The Office". Have a fantastic micro detailing on your headphone? Too bad, Michael Scott decided to make one of his useless announcements what it seems right in your ear. Trying to enjoy that fantastic scene separation? Nope, you won't: Jim just played a prank on Dwight and everyone is laughing like they are at a Robbin Williams standup show. That's where the the closed-backs come in. The point is to give you decent noise isolation, so you can enjoy your more-than-decent sound around your colleagues and cleaning ladies with gargantuan vacuums. So how does this bad boy score on that? Sound is great, it's a decent planar from a decent company after all. Value (sound wise) - fantastic, that's what Drop is known for. Comfort - OK, the headphone is light, but the brace is not the best, neither are the cushions. My issue here is mostly the sound isolation. If the closed-back pair doesn't dampen the noise well enough the whole deal is just not good. And the Aeons just don't fair well in this regard. That annoying conversation at the neighboring desk just seeps through. Had to return these, even given the fantastic sound. I'll have to got with some nonse Bluetooth active noise cancelling nonsense I guess, even though I don't like the sound. Too bad. Still don't want to rank these too low, they sound great and that matters.
