Dan Clark Audio AEON Flow 2 Open is the new open-back planar headphone that is an upgrade on the AEON Flow Headphones, which were known for their superb ergonomics, great sound, high-reliability and exceptional value.

The upgrades on the AEON Flow 2 Open include updated driver that is flipped 180 degrees such that it removes all motor structures between the driver and the ear for higher resolution and much larger soundstage. A s treamlined precision machined single-piece flow elements eliminates voids and stray air paths within the motor to improve internal airflow, enhancing micro-detail retrieval. A new "collapsing gimbal" allows a full size headphone to store in a remarkably compact case for easy traveling without adding weight. AEON Flow 2 Open replaces a cast aluminum baffle with a carbon fiber and machined aluminum design that is more rigid yet lighter. Finally, superior driver damping results in improved resolution, dynamics, and a smoother frequency response.

The sum of all these innovations is a headphone the renders music with emotional impact unheard of at this price point: visceral bass, transparent mids, and detail up top that is presented in a deep and immersive soundstage. Finally, AEON Flow 2 Open headphones include a DUMMER (Distinctly Un-Magical) cable with an integrated dual 1/4" and 3.5mm plug or 4-pin XLR termination.
