Fostex TH900mk2 Limited Edition
Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Noire
The Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Noire and Fostex TH900mk2 Limited Edition are both premium hi-fi enthusiast headphones. Both have a closed-back design, though the Fostex features dynamic drivers while the DCA headphones use planar dynamic ones instead. The DCA have a little more bass on tap relative to their treble, though your listening experience will depend on how well the headphones fit on your head, as they're more susceptible to frequency response consistency issues that affect bass delivery. While the DCA are more comfortable and come with a hard case, the Fostex have better build quality (though neither option is poorly constructed).
