What does this mean for the listener? For starters, this is one of the very few planar magnetic headphone designs that can actually produce a truly balanced sound signature, with the powerful bass more typically associated with closed back designs. But that bass doesn’t come at the expense of soundstage and clarity!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOIRE XO's  new driver is significantly more rigid than its predecessor, with superior unit-to-unit consistency, reduced distortion, improved reliability, and smoothed frequency response.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe NOIRE XO was developed with extensive R\u0026amp;D investments that were made to optimize other aspects of NOIRE XO’s planar driver. New manufacturing processes combined with highly optimized V-Planar knurling deliver a remarkably smooth frequency response with low distortion throughout the listening range, achieving levels of detail heretofore found primarily in our top-of-the-line headphones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeveraging our state-of-the-art Audio Precision 555B and B\u0026amp;K 5128 measurement system, we’ve carefully integrated NOIRE XO’s new driver with our patent-pending AMTS and redesigned ear pads to create an experience we’re sure you’ll never forget.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe NOIRE XO's AMTS uses advanced metamaterial design concepts to shape system frequency response while simultaneously eliminating high-frequency standing waves, which are responsible for the synthetic-sounding high frequencies found in all too many headphones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy eliminating these standing waves, NOIRE XO with AMTS delivers remarkably balanced, nuanced, and airy treble free of the fatiguing artifacts that diminish your listening experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOIRE XO includes all-new ear pads to ensure an exceptionally comfortable experience. Using Alcantara synthetic suede on the contact surface reduces heat and moisture buildup, ensuring cool comfort during extended listening sessions, even in warmer or more humid environments. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn addition, the NOIRE XO Ear Pads are designed to reduce “foam rolling,” so the pads will have a longer usable life, and a more consistent fit and operation. NOIRE XO Ear Pads are backward compatible with our AEON 2 NOIRE, AEON RT Closed, and AEON 2 Closed headphones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe new NOIRE XO's self-tensioning headband reduces listening fatigue by distributing pressure evenly across your head for a balanced, barely-there fit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe uniform pressure distribution helps prevent hot spots and pressure points, making NOIRE XO ideal for long hours of immersive listening, free from adjustments or strain.NOIRE XO’s striking minimalist aesthetic is completed with the tone-on-tone understated color-scheme.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOIRE XO offers a comprehensive range of cable terminations, including combo 1\/4\" and 3.5mm, 4-pin XLR, and 4.4mm. For those seeking additional flexibility in cable length and termination, it’s easy to upgrade to our ultra-premium VIVO cables for more choices, including custom cable lengths. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith these versatile cable options, you can pair your headphones with any amplifier, eliminating the need for costly third-party cables and ensuring you get the most out of your audio setup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe NOIRE XO delivers the most exciting possible sonic experience, regardless of price.
