no app support on the Triumph? Seriously?

yep, having an app is a must for me. Do other Noble's have apps? How can they not in 2024....

Try pop EQ setting and tell me there’s no bass.

Try pop EQ setting and tell me there’s no bass.

Just spending some time with these, do sound different from before. Not as strong in the treble, the bass is dialled down a notch by default, but at least that opens up the soundstage - less in your head now. The pop setting is probably the one I’d lean towards - the only downside is it’s not matching the treble energy as high as the sub-bass and I do prefer more upper energy. However, somehow using the pop EQ raises the sound level by a few db. I would have thought EQ cut the sound level down a bit, as that is what the on display graph shows. Do have one caveat with the EQ - you can’t add your own in the app, it just does a sound test and stays the same (flat). Also the case hinge now seems more sturdy, might have just been a loose model I got before. This has more of a snap to it when closing. Also, more easier to connect now and the buttons work better - the only thing is sometimes when connecting on new device I see two options for the triumph as separate devices (not sure why that is) but it doesn’t make a difference connection wise.

I can definitely do a custom EQ on my iPhone.

Lo

no app support yet

Xm1 has no app

Definitely interested in whether there are any differences from the Falcon. As an aside the fabric in the case is really gonna be a dirt magnet. I’ll give Noble props for design but not expecting this to hold up very well.

Alcantara is commonly used on steering wheels

Yup. My RS3 had an alacantra steering wheel. If your point is it’s durable, fair enough. It does get dirty however.

I missed this article earlier but it offers some hints about what xMems may be delivering In the near or perhaps not so near future.

Someone here (you know who you are) said the Falcon Max crush the Aurana Ace 2 and yes, they do! If this is a sign of what is to come with the Triumph, then a lot of folks here are going to be really happy. I can't see them being too much different as far as driver setup, but I truly hope I'm wrong. I'm in love with the NFMs. Put some Moondrop spring tips on them and they fit better than the Fokus ever did in my holes. The below songs sound incredible. I can feel the sub-bass in my throat. Maybe that's a bad thing.

Wondering if the Falcon Max and Fokus Triumph have the same tuning. It is a bit strange to me that the latter costs more but lacks ANC which the Max has. I believe I recall reading that the reason ANC was left off of the Falcon Max was because the ANC affects sound and that was the focus (no pun intended) of the newer model, but wondering what other differences might be present. Can anyone speak to comparative impressions of the two?

The only identical part shared between the FoKus Triumph and the Falcon Max is the Xmems Cowell driver.

Doesn’t it use the FoKuS app?

Nope the fokus app recognized you're listening to it but won't open. Also bass with a good seal is decent. Not nearly as much as the other noble tws. Going for a more balanced sound with more airy treble. The bass is adequate but not for the gym. I like these a lot for separation and details but for electro I'll stick with fokus pro or serious listening with the prestige. The
Mystique gets no play as I find it just muddy. These will get love but no app support and the fact that it doesn't get as loud as the others are minuses. I think it's going head to head here with svanar

I listened to Schuberts 9th, Mozarts 39th and Beethovens 3rd at a busy Starbucks.
This is where the Bose QC TWS series shine; the musics all there, but zero, and I mean zero outside noise. For this reason alone they’re a must for any collection!
Clink those coffee mugs, run that espresso machine, I laugh at it. Great job Bose…
This was with the QC 2’s…
