Not that I am obsessed with complementary colors, but those are pretty close to a green-magenta pairing. My wife has been doing oil painting for many years, so I have managed to learn a few things over the years.

I prefer this combination, but I am slightly biased, as I just received these K10s this week:



Now, if I could only get rid of this cold so I can finally enjoy them properly!


These ones are mint green and magenta pink, designed by me for my fiancée. They will be in on Monday, and will go along nicely with my K10. She is in love with the design, and I'm happy with how they turned out. Major kudos to the whole team at Noble! Of course, I prefer my design to yours, but I did design it (and that's not to say that I dislike yours, I just prefer this one for her)!

You guys did an awesome job with these! My fiancée can't wait for them to be in on Monday.

 
 
If I had the ca$h, I'd probably buy a pair of K10s for 'that special someone', using the following Lotus flower design (with translucent smokey black main shells):

Those are very nice! Her ears are actually very, very tiny. The audiologist called them "baby ears". I was worried that there would be just too many drivers to fit in her ears. The 4C is about the limit as far as space for drivers go. It's a shame, too, because I definitely would have gotten her the K10 if I thought that there was any chance they'd fit.

It's always been an issue finding her earbuds or iems that fit and aren't just too big, so we're really looking forward to these!

Oh, sure - you've actually bought some 4Cs, whereas I can't afford K10s. So you're actually making your special someone smile, whilst I'm only (at this point) dreaming!

Hell yeah! I am all over it!! First time I got lucky :wink: I thought the show is only going to be about top end headphones and mostly speaker systems.

Hello, I would like to ask some questions about the k10.
Recently, I am deciding to get my first pair of ciem in the following months. I am owning a uber 1plus2 now and very satisfied with it.
I have read reviews of the k10 and knew that it has a natural, balance tuning which i like.
I want to find a pair of ciem which is different from from the 1plus2 so that I can change between two earphones.
 
Is there any comparison between the 1plus2 and k10? Are their sonics similar? Do the k10 has a better instrument isolation then the 1plus2?
