Introducing EXPANSE, our new flagship open-back headset. EXPANSE sets a new standard in open-back headphone musicality, soundstage, detail retrieval and comfort.
Featuring Dan Clark Audio 's new fourth-generation planar magnetic driver and our innovative acoustic metamaterial tuning system, EXPANSE delivers an incredibly smooth presentation to bring new depth and breadth to all your favorite music.
Headphones are subject to standing waves in the higher frequencies, which can make instruments like strings, cymbals, and even vocals sound unrealistic and fatiguing.
Another important aspect is the soundstage; EXPANSE is fully immersive and can compete with any open headphone in depth, width and image, with instruments occupying a correct volume in space rather than being represented as "dots".
EXPANSE's spacious feel and effortless instrument placement allow the headphones to "disappear," so you can simply relax into your music experience. Let the headphones, the equipment and, yes, your daily stress disappear, leaving your music to be enjoyed the way it was meant to be heard.
Gone are the mechanical sliders for adjustment; Dan Clark Audio has designed a stable yet comfortable "self-adjusting suspension system" that seats the headphones perfectly, without fuss or fuss.
At just 418 grams, EXPANSE is also one of the lightest super premium headphones on the market. Together, our new vegan suede and "leather" ear pads, self-adjusting suspension, and lightweight chassis make the EXPANSE so comfortable you can ignore it and "disappear into your music."
And for portability or storage, we incorporated AEON 2's sleek foldable gimbal structure into EXPANSE, allowing it to conveniently pack into a compact custom case that's small and easy to store.
