I have learned more about audiophile headphones from you than anyone. Your presentaiton style is very comfortable , throrough and balanced and fair. I'm a fan!
7 month people still come here :)
Please do a review of the new Dan Clark Aeon Rt Closed!
Your intro is simply fckng ART, Josh. Best audio youtuber ever :)
If that thing stages at all it's different than the OG Aeon Open. The OG was cramming in a clown car full of musicians
Truth. I don't understand why those existed honestly
I just bought the Open X and that’s how I feel about them right now, especially when compared to the Monoprice M1060C’s I was replacing them with
When will you do a review on Dan Clark Aeon 2 closed sir? It is said to have a very good sound stage, best even for a closed back. I want to really compare to Argons.
I read this in the Dark Knight Joker voice
More treble does not = more detail, my man. Dt1990 is prime example. It's not more detail, it's just damn bright and FR phuqed.
He is very aware of that. He talked about that in his older video. As more treble doesn't mean more detail, so does more treble doesn't mean less detail. A headphone can also be more treble and more detail.
Will you make a shootout video with the lcd2c and other similarly priced headphones?
One of the most beautiful and magic openings I've seen in a while. I love that "Nolan vibe" to it. 👍
You mean that Hans Zimmer vibe? Last I checked Nolan doesn't do his own soundtracks.
@@freezekrank6257 It's not just the music. It's the combination of the images and the music. And of course you're right...but everyone knows that ;-)
Question to Josh... as far as Drop comparisons... HiFiman Edition XX or the Aeon X by Mr Speakers (Dan Clark Audio) ? They are both within the same price range and both are open back... I am thinking they are in the same category.
Eric Leckey I would get the aeon x mr speakers. Build quality from mr speakers IMO has always been ahead of hifiman.
Nice jacket. What is the brand?
Hey Mr Red :) how would you say it fares against the Ananda, as in, which is "better" for you? Cheerios
Cool review! I just hope that before the end of the year you could release a video about the top 5 headphones under 500 bucks
He did!
Did you get the chance to try back-to-back with the LCD-1? Where would your money go between these two?
Josh, please review the Aeon Flow Closed 2
and compare it to the Focal Elegia
Hey people, one question: I've heard the Ether CX in Oluv's gadgets sound demo and it's completely lacking any dynamics and attack. Does this headphone have the same problem?
I’d love to hear his thoughts on this. That’s the huge issue I have. That’s what makes these headphones boring.
Matěj Grim I’d say yes. But not as bad as ether2. This feels a bit more lively than that but not perfect.
@@JoshuaValour WTF did you connect the Ether 2 too if it sounds lifeless??
mariodrv Gratuitous swearing much? Need a hug or something?
@@mensrea1251 rofl, in Russia bear hugs you.
Great. It would be cool if U did 10 best headphones at the end of the year. What are top 10 headphones under a 1000 dolars?
headphone so good it’s levitating
@jushuavelour
I think you should compare it with the edition xx or lcd2c instead of dt 1990
Planar open between 500 and 800
But 1990 dynamic and semi open
Hey Joshua, you should try using binoral in ear monitors and let us listen to some samples songs
Oluv is still working on perfecting those with his engineer. But, yeah, those make for realistic demos, and every reviewer should have a pair.
Hi Joshua, which headphones would you buy if you had $500 available? I am so indecisive and can't test headphones here because I live on an island. I have an Aune X7s amplifier
Hey Joshua! Quite a bit of an off-topic question, however I'm having troubles pairing my Amiron Home headphones with an amp. They're quite warm but can still be sharp on the highs. Pairing it with a tube amp (Little Dot 3) yielded a too warm of a tone for me, while testing it with a SMSL SP2000 murdered my ears by the straight up sharp highs. Do you have any tip? Thanks in advance!
eq mate
If it sounds crazy bright on the sp200 then the headphone itself is probably just too bright for you. As mentioned before you could use EQ to change the sound, but the amp shouldn't change to sound of a headphone and the sp200 is quite neutral.
Get a different headphone instead of going down the never-ending and expensive rabbit hole of trying to change how they sound with source gear.
Drop THX AAA 789 and Arist R-2R Dac work great for me and the Amorim Home
Use EQ to drop the treble. I have an Amiron home I use the following settings in a parametric EQ
Peak filters
5500hz Quality 4 -2db
7700 Quality 3 -5db
Those two will take off the sharp edge from the treble nicely. I also use it with Asgard 3 which is a great pairing with it IMO.
I’d like a comparison with the Audeze LCD-1 please. Thanks 🙏
Great review, Josh. Thanks for doing what you do bud!
Hi Josh,
Is it just me or am I not seeing weather this headphone is a closed or open version of the aoen? Happen to if and when you will be getting in the new Dan Clark audio aeon 2 headphones? Thanks Josh! Great work as usual 😀
Brandon Burr it’s open back. Closed back mr speakers have carbon fiber grills.
Amazing build quality and looks,i bet they are confortable too.
I want to know what to get between this and the Argon, what is best about each?
Bismillah
There seems to be a group of reviewers on UA-cam that like anything from Drop even if they hated the non Drop version; it’s almost too obvious and boring.
just curious if you are implying Josh being one of them? :D
Josh has dumped heavily on Drop stuff before, IIRC
Josh is probably one of the reviewers that I trust the most as he is not biased at all from what I've seen. Obviously not everyone is going to agree with someone's opinion because everyone's taste and hearing can be very different from person to person.
I remember he dislikes some of drops' offers before? I'm not a fan nor a hater haha.
Could you please review the ath-m60x. Looking for more opinions on the headphones. Zreviews loves them. Would love to know your take.
Dear , Josh, please assist : These or M1060c open for details retreival and gaming ? Etc soundstage , imaging ..
How do they compare to the SendyAudio Ayva? Or the Hifiman Sundara?
Hey Joshua, it would be really great if you could get your hands on the Denon D9200. Head-Fi impressions says it's pretty much the closed endgame but has been a sleeper.
Interesting
Currently on sale for a little under $400.
I think its somewhat misleading to say that the Aeon X is available for only a $150 discount over the original Aeon Flow. I do see that the original Aeon Flow, which has now been replaced by the $900 Aeon Flow 2, is currently going for $649 on Amazon, so this statement is literally true. But the Amazon price is essentially a remainder sale--until replaced, the Aeon Flow was always priced at $800, so the Drop deal is a really good one.
Hello, what amp you can recomended for this headphones?
I’m debating on these drop Dan clark aeon or hifiman ananda .
How does this compare to Aeon 2 sound?
Have you tried the t5p beyerdynamic yet? Think I may buy them
I don't know how this particular company wants their product name pronounced, but the word "aeon" is just the BrE spelling of "eon." Essentially, just pretend like the {a} isn't there and pronounce the word accordingly.
(This is a guess on my part but it is supported by the way the company spells the word, using the diphthong {Æ}.)
Woah how did that levitating rotating display happen
its a nylon string, you can actually see it tied to the headband rod up-top... (what a genius move)
@@taimurjamil4790 ahh i see, thanks !
Hi Joshua, what is your favorite fruit?
Screw him! What is your favourite fruit?
NO. Screw all of you. My favourite fruit is watermelon & I can eat 8kg of that at once and pee for the rest of the day like a boss.😋😋😋😋
Didn't even watch the review, bought the Aeon X because of the intro.
JK, black friday sale and I think your description of these vs the Dt 1990's (which I was considering) that these will fit my preferences better. Looking forward to trying them!
What is your opinion about Aeon X?
Compare to Edition XX same price, same collab.
yes
Come here after DMS. Hmmm now I'm confused 🤔.
I really need to buy a headphone and IEM from all these guys and see who's recs I agree with the most
i like my 1990 pro a lot more than my aeon, but my 1990 pros broke yesterday, time to mod it balanced
Luxury at 500 dollar? I say the sendy aiva is luxury at that price :-)
@Tasunke well my Aiva needed servere burn in time. Knowing him, he is very sensitive to trebble. Hé would't have liked the sound.
Kindly I need to know inner pads dimensions for below headphones cuz I have a little big ear size ( I have Sony WH-1000MX3 its tight and not comfortable for me)
Unfortunately I can't test any of them, I will import a headphone from USA to my country
Philips Fidelio X2HR
Philips SHP9500
Sennheiser HD58x jubilee
HiFiman HE4xx
Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro
AKG K7xx
Woot you saved me $500. What do you think the natural progression from the HiFiMAN HE-500 would be? I love those headphones just curious as to what the next would be.
Ben Bayle hifiman quality terrible
@@chefgav1 have never had a problem with mine but I totally agree
Honestly the he-500 are not much better/different than the hd600. You should look it he6se or a headphone around 1k. Consider zmf headphones
Great review, but you forgot to mention v2 of this headphone.
Yep and this looks like a great way to get rid of left over v1's. The v2 reviews seem a bit slow to come out also.
Man only if this also have the same mechanism as the aeon 2
I hope they fix the dynamics problems with the new aeon 2 and with this new drop aeon x
Damned with faint praise
So this one looks like an average meehhh...
Hey just wondering when you say 1990 which version are you referring to?
Nhat Quang Tran there’s only one version of the DT 1990.
When will you be reviewing the zmf aeolus?
Great video once again. Best reviewer out there.
Anyone can recommend a good AMP/DAC combo or stack for about $200 that is good for the Aeon Closed X?
Currently $400...I don't need but want!
These or edition xx???
If this is like the AFO they're near complete opposites. What do you prioritize in your sound?
@@ResilientME soundstage and mid smoothness
@@davidmason8212 AFO has no soundstage, Ed XX is midsize. Both are upfront sounding with strong mids(AFO is stronger in the high bass/low mids, Ed XX in the high-mids/low treble.) Ed XX is the smoother choice but can get blurry at higher volumes (too smooth)
@@ResilientME so the ed xx would be a better choice for me ???
@@davidmason8212 Yes. I'm just hesitant to recommend either as we have similar priorities and I'm already looking to replace my Ed XX
Just wondering why you don't review, Chifi IEM's? You don't like IEM's?
Aeon RT open comparison?
These are a good reviews of this headphone from someone with good enough equipment and ears to
hear and or appreciate the real strengths of this headphones, like its class leading speed and timbre for example:

This is Christmas pt 2 for me
Aeon X vs Focal Elex? Worth the extra $200? Or wait for sale on the Elex? Thanks.
Wait for sale on the Elex.
Drop makes Dope Stuff
Change to title to not have the spaces and " " because its not showing up in searches
are you gonna wear them or not, would've been nice to see them on...
MY HEADPHONES ARE SO GOOD THAT I CAN HEAR SOME RLLY ANOYIING SHAKING OR SLIGHT RATTLEING OF A TABLE IN TEH BACKGROUND LOL
The part in the intro where you completely cut out one ear is not that great, keep some of the mix in one ear, great idea, poor execution in my opinion mate.
great review! 10/10 footage
$499? Yeah... NO THANK YOU
Kef n buchardt 🥰
Spaghetti
This headphone is everything but boring. It bogles my mind how you can experience it like that. Maybe the music you listen to is boringly recorded cause these will present bad recordings as bad.
mariodrv others have said same
@@chefgav1 If by "Others" you mean Zeos i will just respond with a big LOL
mariodrv oluv
Afo was not worth 600 dollars more than the 6xx. Nothing can dethrone the 6x0 series, if you're paying $500 and it needs to be more impressive.
mariodrv mariodrv my stock aeon open’s can sound slightly hard, harsh and grainy in the upper mids and lower treble for long term listening.. Dynamics would be lacking if you do’nt have quality power at 2W minumum IMO.. Maybe a really good tube amp with quality output transformers would solve those issues. I’m not sure..
The Aeon was literally one of the worst sounding headphones I’ve heard for the price (and I wanted to love them). Totally boring and lifeless. Very thin sounding. Granted they were the closed version
Absolutely horrible headphones!!
In other words, Meh!
Dude... you can't start changing the subject constantly starting to comparing it to "this" or "that" ...without Simply describing the headphone itself..
That is why...I watched over 30 of your videos lately.., and you NEVER "SIMPLY DESCRIBING THE HEADPHONE" ...Constantly interrupting yourself by jumping on "comparison subiects"
Brotjer... people come here - to FIRST HEAR "HOW IS THIS HEADPHONES ARE" ...and not by hearing "oh ..Treble is:.." and hearing a thousand of other headphone names/models... talking about THEIR treble.. and how similar or different it is compared to THOSE..without getting a STRAIGHT ANSWER ON "HOW IS THE ONES THAT PPL CAME TO HEAR ABOUT" ..this Is your HUUGE mistake.., because after 30 videos or so.. I *STILL WERENT ABLE TO CHOOSE* ..which one to buy. Why? Because ...again - a CONSTANT COMPARISON WITH A DOZENS OF OTHER PRODUCTS... where "I" or "ANYONE ELSE.."(let's be honest - AT LEAST "HALF" of the people who are coming here to hear about the PRETICULAT HEADPHONE they are possibly looking to purchase)who's Just Came here to HEAR..JUST ABOUT "THIS" Headphone... which we NEVER DO... because of IMMENSE CONFUSION... why? Cuz you seem to COMPLETELY FORGET that MOST OF US...(a good 50% AT LEAST) here - do NOT OWN...OR HEARD ALLLLLLLLLLL of these headphones you can't seem to stop comparing the "ITEM of Interest" to...
My friend... trully,you can EASILY FIX ALLLL OF THE CONFUSION.. by: 1st) speaking about the *Actuall Headphone people came here to hear about..* and ONLY THEN..comes 2nd)..talk ALLLLLLLLL of the comparisons in the WORLD...for the part of the audience that ARE an Audiophiles.. or Hobbiests.. that either OWN...or Previously OWNED - Allllll. Of the headphones you wish to compare the Piece thst you are making the video about...with.
This will LITERALLY BE - 110% HELP to *EVERYONE who comes here to watch and enjoy your videos..* ... AND simple people like myself,who Desperately needs a Help/True Advise... (specially with ALLLLL of the STORES CLOSE due the Pandemic..which taken away the abikity to go ahead and TRY..SAMPLES of headphones in specialized stores..)..help in buying the Headphones(ppl who ARE doing serious research...ARE the ones who don't have TOO MUCH $..and we don't want to do a mistake.. buying something we WONT enjoy at all... just to start all of the headache..of Returnibg and getting a Refund.. from where ever we buy the item from..,).
But ALSO... that ALL of the TRULLY Knowledgeable HOBBIESTS who Are in the Audiophile World... can ALSO get a GOOD and Well Understable info..on What other Pieces..might sound like the ones in the video... and all that jazz... :)
PLEASE... PLEASE PLEASE - Consider to do ALL your headphone videos this way. It will *GREATELY HELP US - people who Do NOT own Any other good names/expensive headphones... and doesn't KNOW AT ALL...how all of the compared headphones..,sound like(how else you think I have watched THIS MANY of your videos? I've been catching all of these compared names...going around..,trying to figure out HOW THE HECK SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY SOUND... but VERY RARELY.... GOT A "STRAIGHT ANSWER" ..which is ....very sad...cuz I've been looking into your channel for like 2 of 3 days straight...trying to figure out WHAT headphones I should buy...within the up to...about 400$ or so(+ -)..Budget.... with some of my Own ..a sort of MUST HAVE preferences(of.. decent sound stage... also bass that IS there...it Doesn't have to be Over the Top...but it certainly Must Be Present... also..good vocals.. and clear sound..as much as possible. I even decided to get an THX Drop amp... but CANNOT underst d the Advise.. on the headphones.... so I tought..thst the Planars..might be good? Heck...I even thought about the PANDA THX at first... cuz not only their portability but also cuz you CAN CONNECT THEM TRU THE WIRE... to an AMP.. which Actually sounds very good....some reviewer said.
Idk..I am ABSOLUTELY LOST.)
Joshua.. PLEASE...if there is Any Way of been able to reach you.. (idk.. Watsap? Or...any other place where you could spare few minutes to have a quick chat with me.... I would UNCONDITIONALLY APPRECIATE it... I hope this makes any sence lol either way,,, I Really need help. My b.day coming up..and I Want to Finally get a decent headphones. P.S. if I'd have a 1000$ ...I'd get Focals for 700$ from Drop and their THX balanced amp(789...or something like this..) but I Don't. That's why I'm getting that 300$ amp... and need to find a Headphones to come with it:)
Please...if you could-save my day... I live in Canada,Toronto... and would of owe a Huge Favor to you...in case you might need something in the future.
I always remember er tne good people do for me... and Always repay back.
Thank you...either way.
Stay safe.
You are mispronouncing aeon. It is pronounced "ee - ahn", just with latin spelling. The word eon is american english and actually a misspelling of the word Aeon. Just an fyi, kind of a gross negligence of the vocabulary
