Damn this place! :laughing: I have been drooling over tube amps and R2R DACs all day. So tell me… How does that suddenly make one pull the trigger on these?

They arrive Wednesday. I’m not even sure what happened exactly but I am excited!

They do look like they need an R2R DAC.

These arrived today and the reason why I bought it is due to curiousity on what they claim about it is true. Right now I think the medium-size are a bit big for my earholes but they go in regardless, though it would have been much more convenient if I did went for the medium-small size along with the sticky-like grip I feel from the Xelastec.

Makes my Purple BLONs look cooler though, and I think this is probably the IEMs that makes sense putting the Xelastecs on.

Aeon 2 Noire came in today! Finally got that closed-back I’ve been looking for. Will listen all day today and provide some feedback for anyone interested.

Edit: Is it bad that the first thing I think about when getting new headphones is sharing with you guys before even opening them up and listening? :laughing:

well, i stepped up my DAC-game… a little …

Considering it’s the old A1-version, i might have overpaid a bit. But given the propability to get any Yggdrasil in Germany atm and a rather high resale value, i was more than happy to find this used one. At least it has the USB Gen5 upgrade. I have it running for 4 days now and it already sounds incredibly mighty. If it gets any better, i’ll be suprised. Just as surpised, that there’s suddenly an Yggdrasil in my home. Whoopsee.

which do you enjoy more, the new clear or the new aeon 2c? (aeon noire the same but with perforated apparently)

ive got the noire and the OG clear myself

Only able to listen to the Noire for an hour or so compared to the Clear Mg, so I don’t have too much info to provide currently, but some quick points from my own opinion:

  1. The Bf2 → Jot2 → Clear Mg is the most impressive headphone I’ve ever heard. So far the Noire is great but I intentionally got it to be a closed-back counter to the Clear Mg; I would much prefer the Clear for daily listening. Plus it’s open-back so I can wear it for longer without feeling hot.
  2. The Noire is great so far! Very light and comfortable - I’m really stoked because I wanted something with a warm sound but above all else comfortable with good noise isolation; something I could wear all day while working. And this seems to be doing that!

i feel like im in line with those initial impressions but for the original Clears, it’s just such a lively headphone and impressive because of that.

The Noire is so relaxing and it’s also much more comfortable for me and my head size in comparison to the Clear and so for me the Noire is a better headphone to use throughout a whole day.

I think the Clear OG and the Noire compliment each other really well in that the Clear OG is super dynamic while the Noire is a fair bit more relaxed in that regard

Yes, I think “dynamic” is the best way to describe the Clears and the Noire so far appear to be really relaxed. I can see the Noire being my daily driver for work, listening to music, meetings, podcasts, etc. and then when I actually wanna listen to music for pleasure it’s the Clears all day!
