@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.

I just had them in for over an hour. I've only tried the medium tips as that is what works for me almost always. Where the tips were inserted in my ears started getting a little bit uncomfortable, so I may have to try the small tips or some of my tip collection. As far as the main housing of the MTW3, it fits just fine in my ear. It's a sleek little package.

One downer is the MTW3 case is still as big as the MTW2 case. I don't know why they didn't slim it down a bit. It's totally possible if Technics and Sony did it, I have those as well.

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.

Yes that is a great way to test them, I'll try that as well. Good tip.

This is what I do as well as soon as I get a new pair of buds.

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"

We have a product named:

FoKus H-ANC

& a product named:

Falcon ANC

They are not synonymous, like pledged and donated are not synonymous. :)

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!

I realize they aren't synonymous, but what you said is that a Noble FoKus ANC doesn't exist (not really a big deal either way):
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.

We do not have a product Named FoKus ANC

We do have a FoKus product with the ANC function
Ah! So is this a fake then?

What I am saying is that brand = Noble Model = FoKus model number/type = ANC

or brand = Noble = Model = Falcon model number/type = ANC

No?

No conspiracy here, I'm the fella that actually named the FoKus H-ANC
Congratulations! It is a good name (though that makes for so much more irony that you spelled it wrong earlier). :beerchug:

I actually wasn't thinking that deep; nor am I trying to offend... :) Nothing more than semantics. I was simply trying to understand. The difference here is that Lincoln (for instance) is owned by Ford (since 1922), but they are their own company (a subsidiary of Ford in fact), and you won't see Ford stamped all over one of them, regardless of the model name.

The FoKus ANC have the Noble stamp right up front, so I am assuming they aren't made by a subsidiary of Noble, but by Noble. Hence the name Noble FoKus H-ANC. And it seems as though you are saying there isn't a "Noble" FoKus ANC, but simply FoKus ANC (as if that is both the brand, and the model name). If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.... But, I digress, and it is probably a great product.

Don't mind me; it isn't that important at the end of the day anyhow. Everyone knows where to get said product....:)

As mentioned, it's all good either way.

As for the internal dynamics of Noble, well they are internal. :)

To me it looks like FoKus H-ANC by Noble, yes the same as Genesis by Hyundai

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.
@erockg did you have the noise even with ANC and Transparency disabled? I'll have to check mine for what you're talking about but I think mine are pretty silent with both of those off walking around (and on a bike) though there's a good deal of wind noise with either on on the bike (not walking)

Yeah, I think it's just the fit with my ears. My Devialet Gemini do the same thing at times. It's annoying.
