Dan Clark Audio VOCE | Open-Back Electrostatic Headphones

From Dan Clark Audio




VOCE is Dan Clark Audio’s flagship electrostatic headphone. Since its introduction, VOCE has received numerous accolades and awards such as “Best Headphone” and “Product of the Year” from preeminent publications such as Positive Feedback, Absolute Sound, Headfonics, and Headphone.guru.
Something New! 




In April of 2022, we made a simple yet significant update to VOCE, replacing the ear pads with a new design that significantly improves midrange tonality and soundstage.





Electrostatic Resolution, Natural Tone



When our team started the VOCE project we decided to focus on delivering the transparent sound and detail retrieval of electrostatic headphones, but with the goal of delivering a powerful bass experience and reducing the high-frequency emphasis common to so many electrostatic headphones.The team went all in for VOCE, starting with an ultra-large 88mm driver capable of prodigious bass output, and ending with a fully custom silver-plated low-capacitance cable offering superior ergonomics and max efficiency compared to the typical flat ribbon cables typically used for electrostats.
