For me the Encore shares the same sound signature as its predecessor Noble Kaiser K-10.   There are already 31- K-10 reviews on H.F. including mine. Read what is written about the K-10, then think @ 10% more and better; air/separation between instruments, larger sound stage, deeper bass, and clearer sounding over the entire sound range and Voilà you'll know what the Encore sounds like as much as possible if you have not listened to it or the K-10.

I love Rock and Blues and the K-10s are a perfect match for these genres. I have the Unique Melody Miracle and the K-10 does what the Miracle does but up a couple of levels.

Fantastic IEM and without a doubt one of the best available on the market today.
