Superior Sound at a Reduced Price

DCA have gone all-in with NOIRE X to deliver the most exciting possible sonic experience, regardless of price. It's their custom to never de-feature a headphone at lower price points, instead, striving to take the technology, comfort, and performance of agship headphones and cost-reduce them to realize superior performance at lower prices. Combining a no-compromise audio performance ethic with an exciting new look and great ergonomics establishes NOIRE X among the greatest value/performance ratio headphones in the market.

Immersive Listening Experience

Equally satisfying with all genres of music, NOIRE Xs expansive soundstage, punchy bass, silky midrange, vibrantly smooth highs, and layers of detail will keep you engaged with your favorite music for days on end. Never fatiguing, NOIRE X will have you revisiting your entire music library to experience your music like never before.

E3 Innovation - Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS)

Perhaps the most important feature of NOIRE X is the addition of DCAs critically-acclaimed AMTS tuning system, previously found only in our top-of-the-line Stealth, Expanse, E3, and Corina, headphones.
Truly a revolution in acoustic engineering, AMTS uses advanced metamaterial design concepts to shape the system frequency response while simultaneously eliminating high-frequency standing waves, which are responsible for the synthetic-sounding high frequencies are found in all too many headphones.
By eliminating these standing waves, NOIRE X with AMTS delivers remarkably balanced, nuanced, and airy treble-free of the fatiguing artifacts that diminish your listening experience.

Better Technology Means Better Sound

NOIRE X is designed around an updated and improved AEON audio driver. The new driver is signicantly more rigid than its predecessor, with superior unit to unit consistency, reduced distortion, improved reliability, and smoothed frequency response.
Extensive R&D investments were made to optimize other aspects of NOIRE Xs 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.
Leveraging our state-of-the-art Audio Precision 555B and B&K 5128 measurement system, weve carefully integrated NOIRE Xs new driver with our patent-pending AMTS and redesigned ear pads to create an experience were sure youll never forget.

Self-Tensioning Headband

Our self-tensioning headband reduces listening fatigue by distributing pressure evenly across your head for a balanced, barely-there t.
The uniform pressure distribution helps prevent hot spots and pressure points, making NOIRE X ideal for long hours of immersive listening, free from adjustments or strain.

Gorilla Glass

NOIRE X is a stunning yet understated headphone, from the stitched headband to the all-new Gorilla Glass 3 nish on the cups. Gorilla Glass 3 is a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate that makes the glass stiffer and more scratch and break-resistant than conventional glass formulations.
NOIRE Xs striking minimalist aesthetic is completed with the tone-on-tone understated NOIRE X logo.

Luxurious Comfort with Upgraded Ear Pads

NOIRE X 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.
In addition, the NOIRE X Ear Pads are designed to reduce foam rolling, so the pads will have a longer usable life, and more consistent t and operation. NOIRE X Ear Pads are backward compatible with our AEON 2 NOIRE, AEON RT Closed, and AEON 2 Closed headphones.

Enhanced Connectivity with Versatile Cable Options

NOIRE X offers a comprehensive range of cable terminations at the base price, including combo 1/4" and 3.5mm tips, 4-pin XLR, and 4.4mm. For those seeking more exibility in cable length and termination, its easy to upgrade to our ultra-premium VIVO cables, which are available in multiple length and termination options.
With these versatile cable options, you can pair your headphones with any amplier, eliminating the need for costly third-party cables and ensuring you get the most out of your audio setup.
