    Not specific only to audio as a hobby, but it pretty much boils down to this: Do what you like and stop worrying about what others think.

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Feature list looking good! Didn't realize it would come with a boom mic, that should be a really nice addition. Really like the design too. Still really interested in this and am absolutely going to be following this release and looking for any additional info as it comes available. Sorry for...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Good to know. The automatic stuff is really the least of my concern, but was just curious since I would be looking at these both for the sound and for the tech. Will be keeping an eye on the release!

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    I have been searching around for information on the apollo, but it seems a bit sparse at the moment. A few posts in this thread, some impressions from canjam, a product page at bloom audio, but not much more. Is there something out there with more info that I have missed, or is it still a bit...

    Haven't been around much but figured I would jump in here. My list is pretty short. 1. Noble fokus Apollo. I'm pretty much out of the iem game at this point. Was briefly interested in the symphonium titan, but I'm still very satisfied with my singularity with custom sleeves and final e5000 for...

    Nightjar Singularity

    I imagine there just isnt all that much more to discuss. Its a great IEM. Those of us who have it already are likely just using it and enjoying it. Not really a lot more to continue posting about. It also was in extremely limited supply until recently, so I assume it just wasnt being picked up...

    If it helps (or not) I am considering it my endgame. In so far as endgame just means that I am completely satisfied with them and have no desire to continue seeking out new gear. I don't know how it compares technically to others. But it's just such an engaging listen that the only thing it...

    634EARS: Impressions, Discussions, and Appreciations Thread

    The ordering process for me too was easy enough when I ordered previously. But I just think that since its Japan only, theres no real way to demo outside of Japan, and that he isnt really actively marketing to headfi-ers via things like can jams, I can definitely understand why they arent...

    634EARS: Impressions, Discussions, and Appreciations Thread

    I have a loak copper, and I am quite taken with the singularity. Then again, I really like the loak too, except the fit is really bad for me. I would guess at least some of that has to do with the loak only being available to order directly from Japan and that they don't seem to be marketing...

    I actually never had any issues with the stem or the ear canal. And the actual insertion into the ear doesn't really bother me too much. For me, with both the Jolene and other non custom iems, it's pretty much always parts of the outer ear or the areas surrounding the canal that cause me...

    Yea I owned the ie900. I don't think I was able to get a good proper seal with them as I found them quite bass light, which seemed to be the opposite of almost every impression I had read of them.

    I have and did. Wasnt the best experience for me. I think my ears are just really sensitive. I bought and still have the JH Audio Jolene, which clearly was not long for this world, whether it just didnt sell well or that JH seems to have gone back to pretty much all BA's, who knows. Either way...

    Nightjar Singularity

    Copying from over on the watercooler thread Custom sleeves/tips from advanced sound. These were made from an impression I sent them back in 2020 for the Sony ier z1r. Still seem to fit well enough so I didn't bother with a new impression. Unfortunately the z1r was so big and heavy that even...

    New IEM day! Custom nightjar singularity! Ok obviously not a new IEM, but custom tips/sleeves for the singularity from advanced sound. These were made from an impression I sent them back in 2020 for the Sony ier z1r. Still seem to fit well enough so I didn't bother with a new impression...

    They have actually gone up in price by $50 since I last bought a pair back in 2020 for my z1r. Unfortunately, the z1r were so large and heavy that they still pulled on my ears quite a bit and I still had discomfort and ended up selling the z1r. Been stuck with a fairly useless pair of large...
