Description
This item is close to being in brand new condition, never been owned by anyone before. This is a store showroom demo unit. Customers have only handled it to have a look at the headphones. They have been professionally cleaned to the highest standards of hygiene. Included is an ultra low capacitance balanced 4.4mm cable. The balanced cable is made using 84 strand litz copper, wrapped in coloured paracord and retails for £299 if purchased alone. Also included is the original Mr Speakers 3.5mm single ended cable. So you get 2 cables. The original certificate of authenticity is included with this item. If in doubt you can always contact Dan Clarke audio quoting the serial number to confirm the headphone authenticity. Any questions you have about this item, please feel free to ask me. I will happily help the best I can. More about the headphones: The Aeon is an around-ear, sealed, planar magnetic headphone. Its carbon fiber teardrop shape is its most striking and unusual design feature. Materials are top-notch. Headband is leather and earpads are high-quality protein leather; ear-capsule covers are carbon fiber; baffle plate and gimbal arms are cast aluminum; Nitinol headband arches deliver excellent caliper pressure and headband adjustment. The serial number is laser etched inside the upper left gimbal arm; and cables, connectors, and carry case are all brutally appropriate. This is a very well built headphone. Ear pads are soft protein leather over ample memory foam attached to the baffle plate with adhesive tape and should not be removed unless pads are being replaced. Comfort is great. If you run the edge of your thumb down the side of your head just in front of your ear, you'll find there is a groove running fairly straight down behind your cheek and jaw bone, and in front of the ear. The front of the ear pad seals in this groove very nicely. Adding the internal foam tuning insert does take up a little space in the earcup, and my ears do slightly touch them, but no discomfort as they're nice and soft. The floating headband pad conforms very nicely to the top of your head providing a secure fit without any hot spots at the top of your head. Friction sliders adjust headband size and (if properly tightened) remain securely in place. TrueFlow spacer is on the diaphragm side of the magnet assembly only. The magnet structure for the Aeon is single sided and resides between the ear and diaphragm; diaphragm is rectangular in shape. The Aeon does have the TrueFlow™ waveguide technology that fills the spaces in the magnet structure with a mechanical part that makes the passage of air through the magnets less turbulent in an effort to reduce distortion, extend frequency response, and improve dynamics. Diaphragm circuit traces on diaphragm are quite thin and finely spaced. Like the preceding Ether products the Aeon does use the MrSpeakers V-Planar driver technology, which uses a pleated or knurled diaphragm in an effort to cause the surface to move in a more pistonic manner. Circuit traces on the diaphragm are quite thin and finely spaced at 0.005 and 0.004 respectively. Sound Quality: Simply put: This is the best sounding around-ear, sealed, headphone I've heard to date. Tonal balance is spot on but for a very slight emphasis 5-10kHz. Bass is tight, well balanced and does not bleed into the mids. Transition to mids is seamless and excellent. Midrange is excellently balanced; vocals and overtones are very well proportioned giving voices just the right sense of presence and ease simultaneously. Treble is terrifically proportioned as well; cymbals and snares sound very natural. Transient resolution is superb. Good presence balance give just the right sense of depth of image and really good transient resolution gives excellent separation, specificity, and stability. The overall character of the Aeon, and it's not much of a character, was just slightly hard in the upper midrange and slightly rough, lacking in smooth liquid resolve of some top-of-the-line open acoustic offerings. That's a bit of apples and oranges comparison, however, these are sealed cans, and in that category they are remarkably even handed and responsive. Very much without any large discontinuities often found in sealed cans. Isolation from outside noise is excellent for a headphone of this type. The Aeon is a somewhat inefficient headphone; they will need full volume on smartphones to achieve a solid listening level. A portable amp or DAP with solid amp section is needed for satisfactory volume levels on the go.
