ON 2 is the crown jewel of our ON line, surpassing prior models in both sound and comfort. While it shares the ergonomic teardrop shape of ON RT, dont be fooled: ON 2 is an all-new headphone, with a 2nd generation motor design that bumps up the bass, increases soundstage, and delivers realistic dynamics, as well as a patented folding gimbal for easy transport in a case thats half the size of ON RT. Weve also built ON 2 to be even lighter, making it exceptionally comfy (and a perfect travel companion).
SECOND GENERATION OF A LEGEND
Sharing the ultra-ergonomic cup design of the classic ON Flow (now ON RT) headphone ON 2 incorporates an all-new driver with the advanced tech developed in our flagship ETHER 2 headphone. With big leaps forward in sound quality and portability ON 2 sets a bold new standard for sound and comfort in the sub $1000 headphone class.
BIGGER SOUND, LIGHTER WEIGHT
Most lightweight headphones are primarily made of plastic, but we wanted to find a stronger, more durable alternative - so we constructed ON 2s headband and baffle entirely out of carbon fiber, aluminum, and titanium. Clocking in at a featherweight 328 grams, ON 2 is among the most comfortable headphones on the market, but built to stand the test of time.
NEW TECH, FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS
Every Dan Clark Audio planar magnetic headphone is powered by a 100% proprietary driver. No off-the-shelf parts stuck into a new enclosure here - our drivers are designed in-house! Features include: Super-efficient transducer keeps weight down by reducing magnet size Patented Trueflow technology improves airflow through the motor, producing a major upgrade in detail retrieval (AEON 2 sports our advanced second-generation Trueflow design) Patented V-Planar driver processing: textures the driver surface for superior low-frequency performance and improved diaphragm stability
BIG FUN NEVER PACKED SO SMALL
ON 2s unique and patented folding gimbal design allows it to pack into a truly compact case that can fit into nearly anything, even a large purse. For travelers who crave that full-size headphone experience but have limited space, ON 2 sets a new standard in portable excellence.
WHICH ON IS FOR ME, ON 2 OR ON RT?
Dont be fooled: while it looks a lot like the ON RT, the ON 2 is a completely new and updated design. ON 2s brand new driver uses our second generation TrueFlow technology that takes detail retrieval, dynamics, bass extension, and soundstage to a whole new level - which is why the New York Times Wirecutter called ON 2 Closed the best-sounding closed headphone under $2,000. And did we mention that it packs down to half its size?
