Dan Clark Audio AEON 2

Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Open / Closed

The Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 is the crown jewel of The DCA AEON line, surpassing prior models in both sound and comfort. While it shares the ergonomic teardrop shape of AEON RT, don’t be fooled: AEON 2 is an all-new headphone, with a 2nd generation motor design that bumps up the bass, increases sound stage and delivers realistic dynamics, as well as a patented folding gimbal for easy transport in a case that’s half the size of AEON RT. AEON 2 is also even lighter, making it exceptionally comfy (and a perfect travel companion).

Available in Open and Closed models to suit your listening needs!

SECOND GENERATION OF A LEGEND

Sharing the ultra-ergonomic cup design of the classic AEON Flow (now AEON RT) headphone, the Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 incorporates an all-new driver with the advanced tech developed in the DCA flagship ETHER 2 headphone. With big leaps forward in sound quality and portability AEON 2 sets a bold new standard for sound and comfort in the sub 1200 Euro headphone class.

BIGGER SOUND, LIGHTER WEIGHT

Most lightweight headphones are primarily made of plastic, but we wanted to find a stronger, more durable alternative - so we constructed AEON 2’s headband and baffle entirely out of carbon fiber, aluminum, and titanium. Clocking in at a featherweight 328 grams, AEON 2 is among the most comfortable headphones on the market, but built to stand the test of time.

NEW TECH, FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS

Every Dan Clark Audio planar magnetic headphone is powered by a 100% proprietary driver. No off-the-shelf parts stuck into a new enclosure here - our drivers are designed in-house! Features include: Super-efficient transducer keeps weight down by reducing magnet size Patented Trueflow technology improves airflow through the motor, producing a major upgrade in detail retrieval (AEON 2 sports our advanced second-generation Trueflow design) Patented V-Planar driver processing: textures the driver surface for superior low-frequency performance and improved diaphragm stability.

BIG FUN NEVER PACKED SO SMALL

AEON 2’s unique and patented folding gimbal design allows it to pack into a truly compact case that can fit into nearly anything, even a large purse. For travelers who crave that full-size headphone experience but have limited space, AEON 2 sets a new standard in portable excellence.

WHICH AEON IS FOR ME, AEON 2 OR AEON RT?

Don’t be fooled: while it looks a lot like the AEON RT, the AEON 2 is a completely new and updated design. AEON 2’s brand new driver uses our second generation TrueFlow technology that takes detail retrieval, dynamics, bass extension, and soundstage to a whole new level - which is why the New York Times Wirecutter called AEON 2 Closed the best-sounding closed headphone under $2,000. And did we mention that it packs down to half its size?

For the budget-conscious, AEON RT (Re-Tuned) headphones update our award-winning AEON Flow with bumped up bass and crisper highs than the original. The result: AEON RT delivers a springier and more dynamic listening experience, prioritizing affordability, fun-factor, and (of course) amazing sound quality! It doesn’t hurt that it’s unbelievably comfortable, and still made in San Diego. It’s not an AEON 2, but it’s the next best thing!
