I did own the Noble K10U for awhile, but did not find it to provide the sense of realism that I now hear from the Golds. I also thought they seemed to be rather fragile. Overall, I felt them to be overpriced for what they were. Of course that is my opinion and others may have had a different experience with them.

The problem with the K10 is they are not great at imaging. It's like sounds are just coming at you and around you; entertaining yes, but the image is just not realistic. Depends what your'e after as the instrument tonality on the K10 is preferable (although the bass is not as good). K10 definitely does not have the razor sharp precision in defining that strong centre image and left right separation that the Flares Pro does but then I don't think it's an analytical tool (the custom version may be different). To be honest, there is very little out there that I've heard in the multi BA space that has imaging on par with the Flares Pro except maybe the Prophile 8 and they are considerably more expensive.
