The Noble train is still chugging along and I still enjoy the ride.

Is it possible to replace the battery in the Noble BTS?

I understand that this is a discontinued product (otherwise I'd just buy a replacement) so, alternatively is their another product (non-Noble) that does the same job?

Not possible
BTS is loaded with inferior tech compared to what is available today.

And to your other question

I use a Radson ES100 which covers the same idea as the BTS and wouldn't look back to be honest.

Might be overkill for my needs, but it looks interesting. Thanks.

Well they aren't super expensive compared to your £2000 IEMs and were a massive increase in ergonomics and sound quality compared to running from a phone. I cannot say enough how nice it is clipping the ES100 to your collar and not having to have a cable draping down to your pocket. Being able to answer your phone without taking it out of your pocket and without having to sacrifice fidelity by using a crappy mic cable is also really nice!

Yeah it looks great, I will admit. Currently I use the Noble BTS with my N4 on a short cable (so that it wears like a pendant) to listen to podcasts via my phone when I'm out on walks, so sound quality isn't vital in this scenario. If I'm out and about and want to listen music then I take Mojo/Poly and my "proper" IEMs. I've found something cheap on Amazon that looks similar to BTS that will hopefully provide what I need in the short term, but I'll definitely factor in acquiring the ES100 at some stage.

I Managed to find a guy who has an encore ciem, but it was originally made last year. Do you guys to exceptions for the reshell rule? If not, would the date of this barrier be moved to Jan 1st 2019 in 2020?

Tragedy has struck

Why do you guys have the rule for monitors made before 2018 set anyways?

 

[FullCircle]

Because it wasnt a feasible service

 

[Cactus108]

Because it wasnt a feasible service

Would you take an extra fee to make it worthwhile this one time?

I would love nothing more than to have one of your designs on an encore.

So ended up getting Fiio Q1 DAC/amp.

Pro: turns out it's the perfect fit for my IEM carry case.

Con: no micro-B to micro-B OTG cable was included so can't use it as a DAC with my smartphone, will have to wait for one to arrive.

Using it as an amp I feel that there's more seperation and detail in the lows. Loving the bass boost though. Doesn't seem very loud, I can turn the Q1 right up and almost max my phone before it's too loud. So far it's pairing well with the K10.

Still getting the noise floor hiss of the phone (its in amp mode not DAC so this was expected), can't wait to try it as DAC.

Pics of Q1 (and K10) in case:
