71 IEM Brief Review thread (incl. Rhine Monitors, Cleartune, CustomArt)

Woah. Some of these IEMs (in your latest review batch) actually score higher than some established names, including the Noble 4 and 8. They must be pretty darn good, bro. I was actually very impressed with the Noble 4.
 
Anyway, any ideas on your next batch of IEMs?

Yeah TBH, the N4 is still the greatest shock for me. As I wrote in my review, I really expected to like it, but that bass was really a no-go for me.

My next round will be on Friday. Probably aiming for Heir + Lear next. Either that or Hidition, AAW, Rooth, Canalworks. I may also be keen on trying the Noble 4 again- anyone know what is MS' new opening hours for this holiday period?

I too was very very impressed by the noble 4!! I prefer it over noble 6 actually! Its sound is very similar as compared to shures 535 reds, but its sound stage is somewhat similar to the Legend. Wide and airier and not sounding forced or fake! Very nice IEM too! Have all the positive points of the 535 and with its own improvements!

 
Yeah. I have the same thoughts about the Noble 4. It has a very wide soundstage, accurate imaging, with good treble and bass extensions. I was actually tempted to get a 4C, but decided against it, since I was already going for a K10.

I see. Taking into consideration the huge price gap between the Noble 4 and 6, I actually felt that the 4 was a very good IEM in its own right. It shared many of the good points of its bigger brothers, albeit presented in a less refined manner. Sound was clear and detailed, and has a better price to performance ratio than the 6 and 8, IMO.

Nice! I will be on leave from Thursday onwards, so maybe we could arrange for a day to visit MS or Null? I'll PM you?

Thank you for this large task.

Do you have a chance to add jvc fx1000 and sony z5?

Thanks! I'll try to see if I have access to them. Is there any reason you're interested in these two specifically?

I might be going to MS again too for more demos. I skipped out on the noble 8 and I really want to hear the legend again haha. Maybe drop by E1 for the vision ears too

Stage 6 XC? From the direction you're going in, I think you'll like it- a lot.

Japan offers good bargains on these two models and Z5 seems to have some fans on headfi.

 
Will you be travelling to Japan anytime soon? I agree that the prices in Japan are pretty good. Especially once you factor in the 8% tourist tax discount at major retailers like Yodobashi.
