Description
Dan Clark Audio EXPANSE Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones
EXPANSE is Dan Clark Audio's flagship open-back headphone for listeners who want a large, natural soundstage without giving up speed, texture or tonal refinement. It is built around Dan Clark's planar magnetic platform, Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System and a lightweight ergonomic chassis that is designed for long listening sessions.
For a serious hi-fi headphone system, EXPANSE is the model we would point to when the brief is openness, scale and fine detail. It has the spaciousness people chase in a top open-back design, but the presentation stays composed and smooth rather than pushing detail at you. Pair it with a capable headphone amplifier and a clean source and it becomes a genuinely immersive way to listen.

EXPANSE is for the listener who values space, imaging and a relaxed sense of scale. It deserves a quality headphone amplifier, and the cable option should be chosen around the output you use most often.
