Stealth

Introduced 2021$3,999 MSRP

Stealth is Dan Clark Audio's flagship closed-back planar magnetic headphone, hand-built in San Diego, California, and notable for pairing sealed-back isolation with a wide, open-sounding soundstage via the company's patent-pending Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System. It launched in September 2021 after roughly four years of development and paired a new 4th-generation V-Planar driver with a self-adjusting nickel-titanium headband.
