Ok OK

But we wear it well

The photo is me during the tuning process. I am grinning because I was surprised by how easy the process is with DSP compared to analog methods.
-DSP is a game changer-
Well, you def do not look like a mom. But c'mon, you know what I mean. Noble isn't Sony or some conglomerate and you do things better on a smaller scale. All compliments. Now get us those FOKUS ANC buds!

@erockg did you end up sending your Linkbuds S back? Don't see much comments from you on them anymore?

I am at a point where none of my current TWS come close to the sound quality I get from the UTWS5/FH5 combo so they are all a compromise on sound quality.

I bought the Linkbuds S as they are supposed to be more balanced than the XM4 and have a lot of features and comfort I want. My hope is they can be something I put in and simply forget about as I go about my day and the music will be good enough that I can get emmersed to a degree and then have the bells and whistles function well enough that I don't need to constantly taking them in and out of my ears.

In short I am hoping Sony's sales pitch is legit... If so and the sound is adequate then I will scale back my TWS collection and just use the Fiio combo when I want more audiophile sound.
I did send them back and went back to the regular Linkbuds for in office. The S kept making noise when I walked. Drove me nuts. Changed tips and nothing helped in my collection. Maybe I'll revisit in the future, but my collection is overwhelming me lately. I keep buying higher end buds!!! Ugh.

You get most of those things. They just don't have a a chip powering them enough to be "commanding" and the overall volume is also not the highest out there. Fine volume but some EQ that cut gain to not distort may be an issue unless the app or player can give more gain back.

The thing I hope they do in the TW7b is give them more push for the bigger 10mm driver to have more forceful bass, no softness, and more headroom.


Best sounding of the free samples I got lists. Most of the really good sounding ones don't send out to reviewers. They can't afford to like the big brands. So, BOSE, Jabra, Sony, Sennheiser etc. are always there and the Noble would get you the look :confused:. B&O will be there on some of those lists though. They get out there and have the name recognition.
Enjoying the Yamaha 5B so much I just ordered the 7B off Amazon Japan for delivery next week. Showdown!!!

Not to be picky, but I don't think there is such a thing as a Noble Focus ANC there is a Noble Falcon ANC.

To be clear Falcon and Focus are not necessarily synonymous in the house of Noble. We run the two product lines separately, much like Ford/Lincoln or Toyota/Lexus.

I think it’s pretty funny how you’ll be all picky about what we all know about your current line up, while glossing over the fact that you did in fact release a FoKus app with an ANC setting. So yeah, um, maybe you don’t want to call attention to the fact that you’re watching the thread? Especially when you’re not simply answering the original question as to why. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣:-) :-)

Nothing fishy going on here.

So, correct me sir if I am wrong, but isn't this the Noble FoKus ANC? Noble FoKus H-ANC to be more precise.

And, not to be picky, but according to your website, they are spelled "FoKus" not "Focus". :)

sure as heck hope I don't have that issue! Good news is I ordered from Sony, so if they do have issue I can send them back. Versus buying at BestBuy in Canada with no return policy on IEM's.

I think you'll enjoy them. They're nice. Not audiophile fun, but all the bells and whistles work well. For me, they fit so much than the XM4.

I got the new sennheisers today the MTW3. I love the AZ60 but just having bad call quality with them outdoors anywhere too often.

I haven't tested the call quality with the sennheiser's yet but the sound is definitely the best I've ever heard in a wireless IEM. The bass is beautiful and tight, the highest have a little nice twinkle in them. And a better sound stage.

Well I haven't tested a call quality yet outdoors, I'm outdoors right now. In fact I dictated this message via Google voice to text, and it's coming out perfect. When I did that with the techniques, of course it misspells that word, it was often a lot of having to delete and then re-speak. I think that automatically means the mics on the sennheisers are better

@PixelSquish how comfy are the MTW3? I find the AZ60 a bit uncomfortable. Might have to try that dictate feature that sounds like a heck of a good test of the mic especially out doors.

Maybe I am over simplifying this, but wouldn't a phone audio recorder give you a good simulation as well? Of course other variables are involved with calls/meetings, but that is always how I initially test them.
