Aune SR7000

The Aune SR7000 Butterfly is a flagship closed-back dynamic headphone engineered to sound as open and spacious as a good open-back design. It combines a large 50 mm dynamic driver using Aune's W-shaped ceramic polymer diaphragm with a suite of original acoustic technologies, including the patented Dragon Scale Acoustic Prism and a tilted acoustic matrix, to overcome the narrow staging and coloration typical of sealed headphones. The result is a smooth, natural tonality with the isolation and punch that only a closed-back can provide.

Type and Technology

The SR7000 is an over-ear, closed-back headphone built around a 50 mm large-diameter dynamic driver. Its diaphragm is Aune's self-developed W-shaped ceramic polymer rigid diaphragm, which increases the effective vibrating area for greater control and lower distortion. A tilted driver and earcup geometry positions the sound source more naturally to the ear, while the patented Dragon Scale Acoustic Prism processes the rear-chamber wavefront to eliminate standing waves and harmful diffraction. Together these technologies distribute full-frequency energy evenly and give the sealed enclosure an open, vivid presentation.

Sound Character

The SR7000 delivers a smooth, natural tonality across a wide frequency band, with clarity and punch that suit a broad range of material. Bass is strong and well controlled thanks to the large driver and sealed enclosure, mids are natural, and the treble stays composed and non-fatiguing. The Dragon Scale prism and tilted matrix widen the soundstage and improve imaging well beyond what listeners typically expect from a closed-back headphone, so orchestral and spatially complex recordings retain a sense of air and separation while modern genres keep their impact.

Build and Comfort

The SR7000 uses Aune's new-generation design language with a complex, purpose-built acoustic structure, finished in black. A concentric-circle wearing system spreads clamping force evenly for a secure, comfortable fit, and the headphone remains lightweight and comfortable for extended sessions. It uses a detachable cable for easy replacement and upgrades.

Best For

Listeners who want flagship closed-back performance with strong isolation but an open, holographic soundstage, ideal for late-night listening, shared spaces, and detailed critical sessions. With a 55 ohm impedance it can be driven from portable sources, but it rewards a capable headphone amplifier; explore matching options in our amplifiers collection.
