ON 2 Noire is the latest edition of our award-winning ON 2 Closed headphone. Featuring a bold metallic black paint ON 2 Noire sports a perforated ear-pad to deliver an all-new sound. In fact, ON 2 Noire's tuning almost exactly aligns to the Harmon Curve, gently boosting bass and treble compared to ON 2 Closed. The result is a lighter sounding midrange and a soundstage that moves the stage a bit further from the listener for a wider and deeper space

BACK IN BLACK
Since we launched ON 2 we have had two frequent requests: make a black version, and offer it with the perforated pads. Well we listened, and here it is! Experience the dynamics, detail and smooth sound of ON 2, with a striking black finish and a vibrant new sound with an expanded soundstage and a lighter midrange tone relative to its ON 2 Closed sibling.
BIGGER SOUND, LIGHTER WEIGHT
Most lightweight headphones are primarily made of plastic, but we wanted to find a stronger, more durable alternative - so we constructed ON 2s headband and baffle entirely out of carbon fiber, aluminum, and titanium. Clocking in at a featherweight 328 grams, ON 2 is among the most comfortable headphones on the market, but built to stand the test of time.
NEW TECH, FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS
Every Dan Clark Audio planar magnetic headphone is powered by a 100% proprietary driver. No off-the-shelf parts stuck into a new enclosure here - our drivers are designed in-house! Features include: Super-efficient transducer keeps weight down by reducing magnet size Patented Trueflow technology improves airflow through the motor, producing a major upgrade in detail retrieval (AEON 2 sports our advanced second-generation Trueflow design) Patented V-Planar driver processing: textures the driver surface for superior low-frequency performance and improved diaphragm stability.
BIG FUN NEVER PACKED SO SMALL
ON 2s unique and patented folding gimbal design allows it to pack into a truly compact case that can fit into nearly anything, even a large purse. For travelers who crave that full-size headphone experience but have limited space, ON 2 sets a new standard in portable excellence.
WHICH ON IS FOR ME?
All ON headphones are hand-built and tested in San Diego CA. Closed versions of the headphones should be used when blocking noise or not disturbing others is a consideration. Sonically our closed headphones tend to have a lighter midrange tone, so while the open headphones have a deeper soundstage the front and center (think vocals) is several rows closer when using the open headphones, for a more intimate delivery.
Dont be fooled: while it looks a lot like the ON RT, the ON 2 is a completely new and updated design. ON 2s brand new driver uses our second generation TrueFlow technology that takes detail retrieval, dynamics, bass extension, and soundstage to a whole new level - which is why the New York Times Wirecutter called ON 2 Closed the best-sounding closed headphone under $2,000. And did we mention that it packs down to half its size?
For the budget-conscious, ON RT (Re-Tuned) headphones update our award-winning ON Flow with bumped up bass and crisper highs than the original. The result: ON RT delivers a springier and more dynamic listening experience, prioritizing affordability, fun-factor, and (of course) amazing sound quality! It doesnt hurt that its unbelievably comfortable, and still made in San Diego. Its not an ON 2, but its the next best thing!
