Thanks guys. Wouldn't a poll be helpful to get a top 10 or something? I'm gonna look into the ones you mentioned. Sound leakage is very important so the Focals are not an option.

So what are generally speaking the top 3 closed backs according to headfiers? I had a Neumann NDH20 but I need something more comfortable, does anyone know how the Noire compares? Especially curious about bass and if the listing experience is fatiguing?

Okay thanks. Is anyone able to compare them to the Neumann NDH20?

Ah this makes sense. I'm using outlook.com, just so you guys now... Documentation link seems broken: http://danclarkaudio.com/docs/AEON 2 QUICK GUIDE - PRINT READY.pdf How much watts does the Noire need to shine? Now i have the https://en-de.neumann.com/ndh-20 which works great on the L30...

Well since they don't answer my questions (local apocalypse?) maybe I can ask you guys... I am thinking about buying the Noire, but my concern is the glued cushions. What are the options when they wear off? I expect to enjoy a headphone this price for at least 15 years... Will the Topping L30...

Obviously I've checked my spam folder.

So it seems Dan Clak reads this topic... I've contacted your company over the web form 3 times, over e-mail 2 times, no response... do you have a customer service?

Thanks. And which topic is that? I'm sorry, I find it very hard to find dedicated topics in this forum because the titles have no strict formatting. And I'm not a noob. This forum is kinda messy. There are so many topic results if I search for "Aeon 2".

Oh man I've emailed Dan Clark over 4 times last 2 weeks. They don't respond. What kind of crappy company is that? Thinking about buying Noire... But when their customer service is that level of garbage I'm in serious doubt... Can anyone succeed at contacting them? Or does anyone have experience...

Hey do we have a dedicated ÆON 2 Noire forum? Can't find it lol. And while I'm at it, coming from a Neuman NDH20, would this be a good alternative? And does anyone know if the Topping L30 can drive the ÆON 2 Noire?

So guys I had the Neumann NDH 20 for several months and then the audio on the right side started disappearing. Sent it back. Now I am in doubt. Should I order it again? Or try something else? My observation: I really liked the sound in general (neutral), although it was not mindblowing at...

Not gonna open up and break warranty lol.

I have a weird (I think) problem. I have a new PC, DAC, AMP, and headphone. I say new... everything is roughly 2 months old. DAC: Topping E30 AMP: Topping L30 Headphone: Neumann NDH 20 Sometimes the right channel disappears or seems to become weaker (to disappear). It happened several times...

Maybe that's a good sign.. everyone wants to keep them...

Such an unpleasant attitude... not trying to generalize, but why do Americans have the word lawsuit in every second paragraph? It's such a tiring attitude. Chill down, you're getting a replacement. They're obviously doing their best to solve this matter. Some guy(s) might be working over nights...
