#89 Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Noire: $849.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: Bass is well controlled, with sub-bass within 0.3 dB of target and a gentle 1.9 dB lift from 60 to 200 Hz that adds warmth. The planar driver is a closed-back design that isolates from room noise. Mids from 200 Hz to 3 kHz stay within about 1 dB of target, so vocals stay natural.
Cons: Treble from 6 to 10 kHz sits about 3.8 dB under target, and a 10.5 dB dip near 9.9 kHz dulls cymbals and sibilance. A 3.6 dB peak near 5.5 kHz can add some edge to vocals and brass. At 13 ohms and 92 dB per mW it is the hardest to drive in this group and benefits from a proper headphone amp, and the Focal Elear has the same rating.
