Massdrop x Noble X Universal IEMs Review / Preview

[HungryPanda]

I am really enjoying my Noble X but as I am about to order snugs silicon custom fit their website wants to know the make and model of my iems, I'm sure they will not be aware of the Noble X. is the shell the same size as any of the other Noble iems?

Standard shell size for their universal line

Thanks

  Thanks

If I've read the faqs right (and I may not have), snugs may ask you to send in your noble iems anyway so they can create the template for them.

 

[HungryPanda]

I have put my order in. I'm a returning customer so they already have my impressions on file, if they need me to send them in I will.

Are you expecting to get a better fit with the snugs?. I'm getting a lousy fit with the assorted tips they sent with the Noble X.

 

[HungryPanda]

Yes for sure, I got my Dunu iems fitted before so they became custom fitted

​Thanks for responding. By Encore I guess you mean the Kaiser Encore at $1850? That would be great but way out of my reach. I have seen a used Django and according to your website description, it appears to be a neutral performer that works well with all types of music. I prefer a neutral balance that doesn't favor bass or highs but has a smooth and detailed sound with good midrange presence. The X is giving me that type of sound now. I was hesitant when the drop started and the reports on the X were that the bass was somewhat weak and the highs were somewhat rolled off. To a large extent I haven't found that to be true with my 67 year old ears. Bass is there when it should be and has surprised me a number of times with the impact and the highs are also easy to hear without calling attention to itself. I've also been impressed with the clarity and the ability to pick out individual instruments and I've noticed some subtle background instruments or doubling of instruments that I didn't know were there before. The X is just a very nice all around performer and one of the best buys I have ever made. Thanks for a great job!

I'm also 60 yo geezer, and bass is nice, and sparkle is nice mids are nice, I wonder who reviews these kind of things. You can pretend to have iem and review it however you like

Well I just bought Audioscope's pair, so I'll be eager to compare them with my Django and Noble 5s. I guess I've been on a Noble binge lately. Perhaps another stepping stone toward the Encores

So I bought spintips to replace the stock ear tips, they sound really so much better than before. The original tips would just slide out except for the largest tip but that tip made the bass sounds extremely muddy and sound tinny. The spin fit made the sound full,smooth, and accurate!

Will these drop again?

 

[FullCircle]

At this point in time I know just as much as you do.

I'm just waiting on my replacement cable for them so I can plug it into my amp, but so far sound excellent on the lightning cable I got with the order.
