I see. So BM is no longer there. Best of luck to John. I have faith in Noble. They make phenomenal products.

I ordered a pair of CIEMs with Noble which should have been finished a month ago. No news so far. I emailed a couple times but have not heard anything from them. Been trying to call them up a few days but no one ever picked up the phone. This is quite strange based on my past experience...

I have the same problem. everyone at Noble seems to have vanished - I order a pair of CIEMs, and it's been a long time since the product should have been mailed, but I have not heard anything from them. I tried emailing and calling but no one got back to me. In the past, they usually reply...

Unfortunately I returned my K10 so I can't really take a picture for comparison. But I can tell you that Noble 4 is about the size of the SHURE SE535, and K10U is much larger, it's about 1.5 the thickness of the Noble 4

As much as I would like to advocate for it, with low impedance IEMs, I honestly couldn't tell much difference compared to, say, Iphone 6...

Oh I just found out that I was looking at the "date that the member joined the forum" instead of the date of the posts... That is really too bad that I missed it. I'll subscribe to this post too keep up with everything

hmmmm... seems like there has not been a meet in the Chicago area recently...

I used Beosound 2 for 3 years with a pair of SE535, : very easy to use interface there is a bit of background noise  this is many years ago so I can't remember exactly how long the original battery life was. I had a friend of mine do a mod on the battery, which enabled it to last for...

I'm very curious as to how much switching to a top-end mp3 player could impact the sound of a pair of low-impedance in-ear monitor and would like to try out an A&K 380.

The battery life is way too short for a mp3 player. You usually expect 5-6 hours of use after a full charge.

I love the concept and the design, but the audio quality still has lots of room for improvement. Having experience only with the in-ear monitors, I am not familiar at all with the price tiers of the headphones at all, but I'd assume at this price range you'd expect a decent level of sound...

  Salute to Dr. John Moulton! A big thank you to you and Brannan for my great experience with Noble.   I hope that some day Noble will release the regular CIEM version of the Savant in addition to the SLA and the Prestige line.

One of the primary reasons why I still keep my SE535s, given the other similar earphones I own, is that they are one of the very few earphones with presentable cables that come with in-line control. Although the Shure cables don't last very long. I usually have to replace them every year.

overall impression: great for its price, minor issue the shape of its shell, which sometimes hurts my ears. Its cable is not as durable, and could be better in my opinion.   Will fill in the details later.

having owned both, I agree with you with the exception of one small thing: I discovered that N4, though perfectly precise, does not necessarily reveal everything. Sometimes Noble 4's absence of bass hides the base lines of some music pieces, which I didn't know they existed until I put on the...

your Savant looks gorgeous, too bad I already put in money for mine.

  ah, it's really too bad that you missed the new Savant model by just a few weeks. (assuming that the new aluminum model is more attractive to you just as it is to me) I was lucky enough to have a chance to refund the old one (which I bought just to try, having made an arrangement with...

I used to own a pair of Noble 4C, which I sadly lost a few weeks ago (honestly, I really couldn't think of a reason why someone would want to keep them, given their custom shape, but that person who took them away nevertheless did). I then ordered the N4, the Savant, and the K10U  from Noble to...
