Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Noire Discussion/Impressions Thread
Excellent for blues and jazz, the bass a bit too much to my liking for large orchestral masses, but is ok for baroque, renaissance, or small ensembles. Can you listen to classical music with the Noires? Yes, of course. Is this the musical genre where it stands out the most? No- ahmonge

Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Noire Discussion/Impressions Thread
This is an isolation test I performed while reviewing the Hifiman Audivina. As you can see, the Noires sound leakage is almost nonexistent. “The purpose of closed headphones is twofold: to isolate the listener from external noise and to prevent the sound produced from leaking into the...- ahmonge

Dan Clark Audio E3 Review: Interview, Measurements, Impressions
My comment refers exclusively to over ear headphones, since their passive isolation capacity -from my point of view- is insufficient to enjoy the details provided by audiophile-type headphones when using them outdoors; I prefer less able headphones with the noise floor lowered thanks to ANC...- ahmonge

I see. At 32 Ohms, K7 doubles power from unbalanced (1W) to balanced output (2W), which accounts for 3 dB more volume.- ahmonge

Are you maxing foobar and windows system volume controls? Are you running K7 at high gain? JT1 has a 88 dB/mW sensitivity at 32 Ohms. K7 is able to deliver 2W at 32 Ohms thru its balanced output, so you should get 121 dB peak (that means between 100 and 113 dB average sound level), which are...- ahmonge
