Overview
NEXT-LEVEL DESIGN
Dynamic By Design
Our design inspiration for the Cleer NEXT audiophile headphone was driven by a singular idea: headphones that evoke the feelings of a favorite timepiece. Every design decision was influenced by a desire to create a product that would be considered delightfully exquisite, intimately personal and intended for decades of enjoyment--with zero compromise in performance, durability or comfort.
40MM MAGNESIUM DRIVERS
Ironless Driver Technology
Surpassing conventional soft-iron, single magnet designs, the NEXT audiophile headphone employ a patented Ironless motor assembly paired with a proprietary magnesium diaphragm for an emotional listening experience.
ALLOY CONSTRUCTION
Premium & Durable Build Quality
6061-T6 aluminum was chosen for its light weight, high-strength, and workability, in this case resulting in an eye-catching design that’s equally as comfortable.
FLAWLESS AUDIO REPRODUCTION
Open Back Design
The open-back design provides two immediate benefits: natural, spacious, sound reproduction devoid of coloration, and improved transient response-the headphone’s ability to respond to sudden changes within the waveform.
MEMORY FOAM LAMBSKIN EARPADS
Luxurious Comfort
Especially shaped to surround the ear and hug the contours of the head, memory foam earpads deliver a superb wearing experience with the added benefit of enhanced acoustic performance.
EFFICIENT CONNECTIVITY FOR HI-RES SOUND
Wired Connection
Quad-core, four-conductor cable allows for efficient connectivity. LEMO® push-pull, self-latching connectors for solid connection.

Product function
What is Ironless Driver?
The patented ironless technology can effectively handle complex sound distortion defects. This technology effectively controls the voice coil through 20 layered rare earth magnets, transforming the electric pulse into a natural and expressive sound.
What is a magnesium diaphram?
Cleer's exclusive 40mm magnesium diaphragm compensates for higher stiffness-to-mass ratios, provides superior damping characteristics, reproduces wider wideband audio, extends bass, smooth IF response and vivid high frequency response.
Does it need to be tempered?
We don't have an official position on the theory that headphones need to be ""tempered"". NEXT Audiophile Headphones have always been a good headset. As users become more accustomed to specific headphones, they will begin to notice the frequency response range and nuances of the headset, so it is said that the headphone and its features are more appreciated. For more information on the ""tempering"" theory, see Head-Fi.org (http://www.head-fi.org).
What kind of amplifier is required for NEXT headphone?
The impedance of the NEXT Audiophile Headphones is only 16 ohm, and it can be driven without a power amplifier.
Are there microphones on NEXT?
No
What is the difference between open and closed design headphones?
Open type means that the back of the driver's horn is connected to the outside world. When in use, the user can hear the outside world, and the people around can hear the sound from the headphones. The Audiophile Headphones have a large sound field, a more natural sound, and a more balanced tri-band.
If the headphones only have sound in one ear, or the sound level in each ear is different, how can I solve this issue?
Need to determine where the problem is - headphones or audio source 1) Make sure the audio plug of the headset is securely connected to the audio device. The properly connected cable should not swing. If the plug is shaking, the connection is loose. Note: This may be caused by a cable that is not fully inserted, or it may be a problem with the input, or sometimes if the device to be connected has a housing that will prevent the cable from being properly inserted. 2) Make sure that there are no objects like dust or fluff in the headphone jack of the audio source, which may inhibit the connection and cause sound problems. 3) Check if the connection jack is clean. If the oil on your hands accumulates on the stopper or the sweat evaporates on the stopper, salt and dirt may prevent proper connection. You can wipe the connection jack with alkaline alcohol. 4) Try using the headphones on other audio sources to check if it is not caused by the original audio source (or settings on the audio source). If you are connected to an alternate audio source, the problem does not exist, which means the headset is good and the original audio source has problem. 5) If it is determined that there is a problem with the headphone, please contact us directly for more information.

I did not expect these to be this good! Audiophile performance and a price point that’s phenomenally affordable.
David Addison (verified owner) –
If you remember nothing else about my comments, remember just these two words….FLY FART!….I’ve been on a journey down the proverbial rabbit hole into the world of high-end audio equipment for a while. My sub journey regarding headphones began, like many, by Googling “best audiophile headphones”. The standard names appear such as Grado, Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic. I reached out on a Facebook forum to get an opinion on Grado vs. Sennheiser on which one would provide me the best “warm” 70’s sound as my loudspeakers are a set of Acoustic Research AR3a’s and I was looking for a set of cans that could come close to replicating that sound. As responses to my questions began to come in, there was a response from Scott (the rep from Cleer) who politely said hey, give us a try and if your not happy, return them. I did a little research on Scott and the company and very much liked what I saw. A U.S. company led by what appears to be a down to earth, patriotic family driven people. So I decided based on that to give them a try. I was surprised at the quality and comfort (built like a brick shithouse that I could wear all day) but the real surprise was that the sound was exactly what I was looking for (once I made some hardware adjustments for low impedance input). Crisp clear but not overly bright mids and highs (so clear that I could hear a FLY FART) and smooth deep low end bass. I have listened to the “top” cans as recommend by Google and many audiophiliac’s…..Cleer clearly should be listed along side the big known names. They are worth every penny and I believe they have the substance to stand behind their product.
