Introducing NOIRE X

[BowWazoo]

Pregain ist -3.
(Pregain is always the highest value of the EQ amplification. In this case Band #1)

But I use the normalize function anyway.

I currently have an eversolo z6 and I'm between adding a jds atom or sell the eversolo and buy a fiio k9 pro akm. What would be the better match for the dca between these options for the NX?

I mostly review IEMs but as a fan of the Aeon 2 Noire, I decided to poke my toes back into the full-size pond and bought a pair. Waiting for it to ship but I’m looking forward to these.

Anyone from Ireland here happen to get Noire X. Looks like England is best bet.

I have something to do, before I go to work.

Hahhaah, I have a nice red mug on my desk, too. Not quite the same.

 

[BowWazoo]

Yes, it tastes particularly good from the red ones.

Nice review as might expect...but no dongle pairings. DC Elite,, or Questyle M17 , and a go off the bluetooth with that would have been interesting

 

[BowWazoo]

Dongle?!
My DL100, which brings almost 3W per channel at 13 ohms, sometimes reaches its limits...

I thought this would be interesting for people interested in how isolating the headphones are. I put an acoustic noise source in our isolation chamber and then measured the chamber noise with and without the headphones, the graph is the difference. You can see noise blocking starts at 100Hz, by 1K noise is reduced roughly 16-17dB, by 2.5K ~23dB, which is better than many ear plugs on the market.

For myself, I find this to be incredibly effective on airplanes as it does a great job with blocking conversations, ventilation noise, and most importantly babies. For myself I prefer to travel with my Mojo 2 and the NOIRE X vs ANC, though of course there are great arguments to prefer ANC, depending on your priorities.

How does the NOIRE compare to the NOIRE X in this regard? Any chance you can show the graph for each on the same chart?

This is fantastic info, which I believe should be supplied for all closed back headphones.

I assume the attenuation works equally both ways; ie, so that others aren't disturbed by someone using the NX? (My primary use case for mine is for listening within a shared office space, when open backs are not an option.)

Simply perfect with the Noire X
