I wake up this morning, to find the wheels have completely fell off the bus!! New stuff.. Now I've got to start all over again, reading reviews.
Hi guys, my Noble 4 review is up:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/694003/d-marc0s-journal-my-head-fi-journey-new-noble-4-review/270
If only I waited a few more weeks I could've gotten the Wizard design N4.
All I can do now is drool... finest universal iem's and ciem's indeed!
They're stunning but could I really justify an extra 200 dollars? My wallet says no.
Nice review - I was 100% sure you'll finish your review before I do mine coz I'm so lazy. Anyway, I feel your pain about the Wizard design N4 but as awesome as they look you should look on the bright side - you've saved yourself 200 bucks and you get the same sound, so you shouldn't regret not waiting a few more weeks, or you should ?
You're right... But they do look awesome don't they?
Yeah, I know but you should keep saying to yourself that it's just a housing. Yeah, a gorgeous looking one no question about it but do you have spare 200 bucks that you can't think of spending on anything else? I keep saying that and then I look at those red N4s and die a little inside LOL
Very interesting models, and those designs are tempting indeed.
Are the switches independent of each other or do you only need to switch one side to toggle between modes? Having a Left side FR/PR and Right side R might make for a unique sound. :blink:
Think only the R mode can be added to CIEM (but 3,4 and 5). Although I wonder if R mode will sound different when put in the 4C.
