too many lies... as you noticed.
I did not put it this way. There might be logical explanation behind that.
I asked them a question a week ago in their chat and email. No response so far.
I discussed it in different forums and found out that the bass shelf is 15 dB. I decided not to cancel the order. Mind that I own Scarlet Mini.

Checking out the new Beats?
Sorry for answering a question with a question. Rather two.
Judging by yourself?
Do you see any Beats in my extended list of IEMs?

and is build well with comfort and the plush pads that make it even more comfortable than the wired Focal Azurys for me, let alone the Bathys it directly competes with.

Thanks!

Is the overall size of the Noble Apollo the same as Azurys? have testet the Azurys, but to small for me head

Have a nice WE

Thanks :) Do you by any chance remember the overall size compared to Azurys the Bathys? Theay are both overall to small for my head

Again, thanks for your help

Apollo is larger than those, I too thought the Azurys/Hadenys was smaller than I'd like for wired sets. The Bathys at least was more understandable given its wireless use case. My ears touched the top and bottom of the ear pads on the Azurys/Hadenys, not so on the Apollo.

Didn't compare the Apollo to any Focal cans at Canjam, but if it helps, I have a head the same size as a small cow and the Apollo was a very comfortable fit for me, so would be surprised if the Apollo are too small.

Do you guys feel like flying specifically to attend CanJam is worth it? I'm considering it but not sure
For me, it would depend on what the audio situation is like in your country. Here in the UK, head-fi type gear (especially IEMs) are pretty niche, so it's difficult to find a place to actually listed to anything before buying it.

The benefit of Canjam London to me is being able to demo gear from a huge amount of different manufacturers in one place, and discover things I otherwise wouldn't have heard (or heard about). Due to the stupidly expensive UK rail network, it usually costs about £100 for me to get to Canjam and back in a day - for me, that's worth it to check out a load of gear, plus you can usual pick up a decent discount on gear of 10-20% on most things (more if you are buying from an overseas exhibitor, as you don't have to factor in UK customs fees to get items delivered). That usually more than pays for the cost of attending for me.

I think that's location dependent? London has at least 4 dealers that I can think of in London or a reasonable commute. Birmingham has hifonix. Of course none are like e earphone in Japan, that I know of (in the sense the iem demo units are openly displayed on the shelf, no salesperson speaks to you if you do not want)
