I'm going to stop short of bashing Noble, but the ergonomics of their TWS releases have been a pain point for a number of years. They haven't really done much to address it which is disappointing. Either I'm in the minority or the majority is big enough that it hasn't hurt sales and it probably won't stop me from buying them either but it would be nice if some attempt was made to address. That said, the Triumph was an improvement over the previous models so maybe this will be good enough.

I’ll have to say, I’ve never found any TWS nor IEM that I can comfortably wear for more than an hour at a time., However I keep buying them because they’re cool tech, and want to keep the R & D going.

I can wear the Sony IER-M9 or Campfire Audio Bonneville for hours. Especially the Bonneville, they're almost like customs for me, they fit extremely well.
The Acoustune HS1551 CU are also very comfy: wore them yesterday on a 13-hour flight non-stop.
I guess it all depends on how your ears are shaped and we're not equal here unfortunately...
Might be speculation still (?) and maybe it wasn't mentioned in this iteration of the speculative (?) manual, but looks like no IP rating yet again. Bummer (potentially).

Speculation? If so they would need to change the manual if this has not been settled. One might speculate, this has passed FCC hurdles and there is a manual etc.. so maybe a touch more than speculation. But hey John knows more I would assume...

Nope...not sure of that process. John would know. Again, there has to be hurdles when you are releasing a product; we can only speculate that they are this far along. Doesn't matter to me. After the fit problems I had with Rex, I will likely not pursue this path, judging from the speculative drawings of the product in the speculative manual. I do seem to remember a limited release of the Rex in red.
I have to say the AZ60M2 I got on the cheap have become my most used TWS aside from the open ear models which have gone back being the Openfit 2.
I really appreciate how good a deal they were. But I listen to them because I like their sound and they fit OK, not because they were a good deal, otherwise I have other TWS I would be wearing. I actually like them more the AZ80. The 80 just was a bit to light on the bass and warmth, which is funny because I thought the original AZ60 was to bass heavy and dark. So maybe the M2 just found a better balance from the original model and the AZ80 presentation.
Anyway it makes me wonder if the AZ100 would be the best upgrade option at some point. Has anyone has both AZ80 and 100? If so is the 100 heavier in the bass and warmer sounding than the 80 and at the same time more vibrant and resolving?

1 - The Rex 5 was never released in Red
As most know, the Rex 5 release color is Alpina green with gold accents.
2 - There was a short batch made in blue and copper for a Hong Kong authorized dealer.
3 - licensing hurdles have been taken care of, as SubGuy alluded to, there are hurdles to go through beyond just licensing.
4 - hurdles such as launch logistics and trying to coordinate timing among 40 distributors.
This has been an on-going project that has spanned about 2 years. Lessons learned through the FoKus Pro, Mystique, Triumph and Prestige have been implemented in the Amadeus.
(Notice I didn't mention the Rex 5 & that is because the build/ethos/family is not the same) I guess over time the differences will become more evident.
