Today finally got the chance to listen to the PP8, was trying to decide between the PP8 vs Noble's new encore. Well I picked the PP8 at the end, the sound of the PP8 to me is more musical, natural and slightly warm in signature. I don't think it is dead neutral, but the sound is lush yet detailed which I am able to listen to it for hours without fatique, also the fitment is better than any universal iems that I have tried. The Noble Encore is more technical in SQ, more sizzling highs and lows, very detailed midrange but overall colder sounding and more digital esp with lesser recordings. In terms of soundstage the PP8 probably wont win contests but the overall presentation and the coherence is fantastic. Vocals r great, and with pop music still have enough bass energy and drive to make it sound exciting, the bass is very solid for a BA driver only iem.
