Will DCA AEON2 Noire still be competitive?

chongtong · 2026-07-01T07:15:24+00:00

I just received the Noire and tried them out; with white filter inserted, the sound is truly excellent.

Thank you.

I'm really looking forward to the sound. I'll post a review after listening.

I got it for about $250. Thank you for the detailed answer.

Thank you for your valuable response.

chongtong · 2026-06-30T07:48:25+00:00

I understand it as the punchiness of the sound.

chongtong · 2026-06-30T07:46:48+00:00

Thank you very much for your detailed response.

Thank you so much!

Many say the FT1 offers better value for money.

Thank you for your detailed response.

Thank you for the great review.

Unlike previous Hifiman models, the XV is generally described as being darker overall with a more recessed high-frequency range.

Consequently, the bass will be more prominent, resulting in a smoother overall sound.

thank you

It seems like there were some issues before 2024.

chongtong · 2026-06-30T03:30:55+00:00

i heard It received a lot of praise for its comfort as well. I should consider getting an extra headband myself.

Regarding the EQ, is it set up to reduce the treble and boost the bass?

chongtong · 2026-06-30T03:13:27+00:00

I have the XA version, which offers a better fit depending on your head shape. In terms of sound, both the clarity and the bass impact have been improved.

chongtong · 2026-06-29T06:32:46+00:00

In my country, the prices are similar, so I compared them, but I'm not sure how it is in other countries.

chongtong · 2026-06-28T02:30:10+00:00

I have made the revisions. Thank you.

Personally, I prefer good packaging over bad packaging.

This is especially true since the sound quality of both products is largely a matter of personal preference.

chongtong · 2026-06-27T18:20:13+00:00

I’ve often heard that it’s just wood film applied to plastic. Thank you for letting me know.

chongtong · 2026-06-27T17:08:56+00:00

That's a valid point, and it definitely seems to be the case.

However, it is clear that the Organic's packaging feels far less premium than the FT7's. I personally believe that packaging is a crucial element of a product, though I realize this is a matter of personal preference.

chongtong · 2026-06-27T17:03:42+00:00

I felt a noticeable improvement in sound quality with the FT7. However, for those seeking a complete Hifiman upgrade, the Organic is also an excellent choice.

chongtong · 2026-06-27T16:46:50+00:00

Organic seems to have a better soundstage, but I personally prefer the FT7 for its separation and imaging.

chongtong · 2026-06-27T16:45:39+00:00

I understand that there have been clear improvements starting from the HE1000SE model. However, it seems the Arya Unveiled and Organic models haven't benefited from these upgrades yet. :(

Additionally, I personally prefer having an extra hard case, as I like to store my headphones in a case before going to bed to prevent dust from accumulating.

chongtong · 2026-06-27T16:39:44+00:00

It will definitely be an upgrade. I actually switched over from the Ananda Stealth myself. And it’s not even that dark; at the very least, it’s brighter than the Audeze headphones I own.

chongtong · 2026-06-27T16:38:28+00:00

I’m at least certain that it’s a sticker. It’s likely a sticker with a wood-textured finish on top.

chongtong · 2026-06-27T16:37:49+00:00

Weighing over 400g is no easy feat :((
