Sharing the ultra-ergonomic cup design of the classic ÆON Flow (now ÆON RT) headphone ÆON 2 incorporates an all-new driver with the advanced tech developed in the flagship ETHER 2 headphone. With big leaps forward in sound quality and portability ÆON 2 sets a bold new standard for sound and comfort in the sub £1000 headphone class. 

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

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 - the 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

ÆON 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, ÆON 2 sets a new standard in portable excellence.

Don’t be fooled: while it looks a lot like the ÆON RT, the ÆON 2 is a completely new and updated design. ÆON 2’s brand new driver uses 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 ÆON 2 Closed the best-sounding closed headphone under $2,000. And it packs down to half its size?
