Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

[JoshG1217]

Just to say that I have lost a lot of life-time in this thread and it looks like I am about to lose a chunk of money as I, ahem, invest...

I came looking to buy some anc iems - my only experience has been the Sony WF-1000XM4s - I have grown to find them muffled and woolly, which could be the earbuds, and buying replacements for these is not easy.

Anyway, I came here to thank you all for your comments, sad to report I have very much enjoyed reading about 200 pages of wireless iem information, opinion, and knowledge.

So, despite there being a new pair of wireless Noble's on the horizon, I have today ordered the Triumph's and I am very excited. They seem to be the most agreed upon iem on here. I might also get the Nothings as my anc companion, and then I better stop reading as I have no doubt the new Nobles will be very well received on here .... ... this may mean more investment...

​

Noble h anc is a bargain. I keep telling everyone, but for $129 on amazon, you can't beat it dollar for dollar in pure sound quality

If you watch the video, it’s only because he was considering many factors like anc and comfort. Sound wise he said they are horrific

This is a problem with head Fi.. You must have mixed it up with the other Sennheiser in the review. It’s around 14 minutes in…
Clearly labeled M4.

Headphones.com ranked the M4 over ears above several cans costing over $700.
It’s on YouTube

I wrote up a little something about them quite a while ago...I think I was the only reviewer I knew that mentioned the creaking plastic. I found it on Reddit and other places after I wrote it but...ugh.

He says the M4 is the best..,

I didn’t mean to single anyone out, but miss reporting of a product good or bad, can cost a company revenue…. Of course the video should be watched in full, also this is his (resolves) opinion.. He put the Sennheiser M4 in A tier, left most.. only the non ANC Audeze beat it..

My Nothing Ear has a low latency mode, which works well in games, but the problem is that it always resets to an OFF state each time I reconnect them. What is the reason and how can I make it stay on? Every other setting is remembered by the buds.

I have had 2 pairs of Denon Perl Pro and returned both. They were unbalanced and had too much bass. At this point I would say that it all depends on personal taste. For many they are among the best, for me the opposite.

Not everyone has no life like us and posts on Headfi.

I mean speak for yourself dear chap I'm sure many of us have hobbies and a life. Maybe.

Anyways this is a specialized noble tws, this is what gets real enthusiast forums taking about. This ain't no major Sennheiser or Sony release. There isn't some hidden mass market for noble special wood shelled tws which we aren't getting a sense of.

Hi Guys,

Please recommend me an overall great IEM. I am looking at 1. Soundquality 2. ANC 3. Battery life and 4. Water resistance Thank you

These are the 4 IEMS I have filtered out. Please give your inputs if you use them before.

1. Sony WF-1000XM5
2. Noble H-ANC
3. LG TONE Free T90S
4. denon perl pro

Update: I ended up getting sennheiser cx plus true wireless for sgd 134. Not sure if it is a smart choice.

Strange list. None of these would be on mine. The denon would be the best choice among these by a country mile.

nwm make those pretty cool open headphones but now they are making an odd open ear true wireless that still uses silicone eartips ...

I mean it may work well I don't know.

Even in my opinion, of these 4, I would definitely never buy 2, since I have tried them. The Sony ones for me are unwearable and very uncomfortable, while the Denon ones are ultra overrated. Dark and with too much bass, moreover in my opinion not perfectly balanced. In my opinion you could consider the Technics AZ80 or the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8, for me better both in terms of comfort and sound quality.

The Noble H-ANC are the best here, sound wise, they are better than any other TWS on the market at that price point, theyre well built, have decent ANC and battery life and no major connection issues, and some water resistance.

Strange list. None of these would be on mine. The denon would be the best choice among these by a country mile.

It is a strange list if you are allergic to great sounding TWS at a great price point. The H-ANC blow all the TWS at their price point out of the water.
