#269 Dan Clark Audio Aeon RT Closed: $499.99 Dan Clark Audio $499.99 eBay
Pros: A light 328 g closed-back planar with a neutral bass level (within 0.1 dB of target) and a Harman score of 66, sold by Dan Clark Audio for much less than its flagships.
Cons: Treble sits about 2.9 dB below target, so it can sound a little dull next to brighter headphones, and it measures behind the older Dan Clark Audio Aeon Flow Closed (79). Low 90 dB/mW sensitivity wants a desktop amplifier. See headphone amps and DACs with enough power to drive it.
