My take on the Echobox Nomad!

Want it

 

[maxmania]

audio123 thanks for the review. I have just placed an order for mine now really looking forward to them. Just wanted to ask are these the finished product? Website status shows preorder.

Took the plunge and ordered. If there are no custom delays coming to England they should arrive Thursday by end of day. Will post an update when I have time to run them in over Christmas.

Very pleased with mine. Well worth the extra money over the Traveler and Finder. It combines the best aspects of both - the warmth of the Traveler and the clarity and detail of the Finder. I use the red filters on mine and it makes a huge difference. These are the largest earphones I've ever used, but they are very comfortable with the Complys (I find the Complys make a huge difference in sound as well.) Richer and fuller sound than I've ever experienced in an earphone.

One other note - when I received mine, the cable was faulty. Echobox responded to my email within hours and made it right.

Sounds interesting, but the warmth aspect could be turn me off about the Nomad. Does it retain the crunch of the Finder?

In the meantime I've joined the Finder's drop on Massdrop. Couldn't resist the 65 dollar price tag XD

Not sure I can answer that - I'm a guitar player, so I think crunch means something different to me. The Nomads still have a bite, they just have more body around it than the Finders, IMO. It might help to describe it this way: I like the Travelers for relaxing and enjoying music. I like the Finders for studying and examining recordings and hearing things I never heard before. I like the Nomads for everything.

Also I'm tried the white filters again and I'm back to those.

Totally missed the Massdrop on the Finders - I will check that out. Good gift idea I just got an email from my Dad thanking me for the Travelers I ordered for him - his first really nice set of earphones.

Which one has a more realistic crunch though? More body is good if it retains the crystal clarity but typically it makes it slightly muddier.

 

[Coop47]

To me, the Nomads sound more realistic. They still retain clarity, separation, and have a great soundstage. The Finders can be a little too revealing and a maybe a little fatiguing because you hear everything.

The Finders were the first Echobox earphones I owned and thought they were the best I had heard to that point. They quickly replaced some fairly well known and well regarded sets I had been using. Then I got a great deal on the Travelers and found I liked those better for relaxing and wearing in bed. When I finally pulled the trigger on the Nomads based on my experience with the other two, I was glad I did.

If you like the Finders, they may just be the best choice for you and I wouldn't try to talk you out of that. I just prefer the Nomads for overall listening after trying all three. They're all great products.

I'll see how I find the finders first.

Can't find any demos here for echobox iems. I have only seen the echobox Explorer here.

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear from the finder

Can't wait XD

@audio123

Could you please provide comparisons to the MEE Pinnacle P1? I love the shape of these but I do wish for a more textured and deeper bass. And they about the same size (P1 and Nomads)? Also, I noticed you've also reviewed the Dunu Falcon C so if you could compare that as well, it would be awesome. Thanks!

 

[audio123]

The Nomad has a more lively sound than the P1 and is able to invoke greater musicality. The size is around the same. Compared to the Falcon-C, the Nomad has slightly better extension but lacks the warmth produced by the Falcon-C.
Hope this helps!
