I see a few questions here I can answer from my initial impressions posted yesterday.
https://headfonics.com/2019/11/dan-clark-audio-aeon-2-first-contact/
1. I tend to think of the shift from the AEON closed (which I have) to the AEON 2 closed as moving from the Dogs to the Prime (which I also have) in the way the mids are opened up. Better imaging, more space around vocals and instruments and not as narrow.
2. The pads are deeper than the original pads at 1" or 2.5 or 2.6cm (just measured them). You might lose like 1mm or so with the additional tuning pads but marginal.
3. The AEON 2 is not very warm, it is more balanced with more lower mids fill than the original and not as bright up top.
4. The specs are similar to the original AEON and I found that it could scale very well with a good amp so you can expect the same from the AEON 2. However, DAPs are much better than 2017 and the AEON 2 performs very well with the likes of the PAW Gold Touch with up to 0.5mW output power for example.
Hope this helps
