Has anyone compared these to the ortofon e-q5? I'm curious to know if these would absolutely be an upgrade or not.
I'm curious why people are requesting comparisons.
Have these been sold on Massdrop previously ?
Because I only see one person who gave early impressions so far (and I'm not sure how he got to audition them since the delivery is end of March).
Not being critical, just curious.
Jude made the comparison of the Noble X to the Savant, calling it a Savant+. This could be purely because of the increased bass presence, it could be because he felt the overall balance was equal to a Savant but with more bass authority. In my opinion the Savant is a bargain in the audio world, a combination of quality and superb performance. The target use case being an IEM that has superbly balanced performance across the spectrum at 1/3rd the price of flagship performance. If the Noble X is anywhere near the performance of the Savant I would consider it to be an outright steal at the massdrop price. For me, it is about quality of construction, aesthetics, and sheer performance. I am tired of $100-$300 IEMs that are not built with anywhere near the quality of construction, attention to detail, and aesthetics of the Noble products.

kinda tempted though haven't owned a high-end IEM yet and unsure of buying without a return policy.
would these resell easily if I didn't like the sound when they arrived in March?
I have added more IEMs and other types of in/around-ears for direct comparison to the Massdrop x Noble X if interested, here: http://www.head-fi.org/products/massdrop-x-noble-x-universal-iem/reviews/17389.
