MrSpeakers Aeon Flow
MrSpeakers is a boutique headphone manufacturer based in San Diego, California. The company’s founder, Dan Clark, got his start in the headphone business by modifying the extremely popular and inexpensive Fostex T50RP headphones. His modified Fostex headphones were so popular that he soon had the funds required to develop his own headphone from the ground up. The result of this was the Ether headphones, which were available in closed and open-back versions.
The Ether headphones were universally well received, but they were also prohibitively expensive, costing just under $2,500. To ensure that they can sell to a bigger audience, MrSpeakers has just released a more affordable version of the Ether headphones called the Aeon Flow. The Aeon Flow is available in closed and open-back versions too, and they incorporate a lot of the same technologies found in the more expensive Ether headphones.
For a start, the Aeon Flow headphones use MrSpeakers’ V-Planar driver technology, which uses a knurled diaphragm that gives it a couple of advantages over standard diaphragms. According to MrSpeakers, its V-Planar technology delivers better dynamics, higher frequency response, and measurably lower distortion.
