Usually these events are world wide. We reach out to our distribution network and ask if they want to participate.

As for their response, I am not too aware these matters....

HQ makes these arangements.

I'm the guy that builds stuff.

From my research several years back a Noble flagship custom IEM was my top choice at the time. However, I never has the chance to order one. What is the Noble flagship custom IEM model today named? Assuming Noble is still the king of flagship custom IEMs, which brands and models are the primary competition nowadays?

64audio, Empire Ears, Vision Ears, etc etc. Tons of brands in the market currently and some really awesome stuff. Noble’s current TOTL available as a custom is the Khan

That's an understatement if ever there was one.

Thanks! I'm looking to get my very first set of CIEMs so I hope the retailers in the UK are willing to participate.

Basically the same folks years ago.
I'd also add JH & UM.

But when it comes to boutique in my opinion, Noble operates in it's own league.



The reach is pretty deep as well, from extreme boutique, to mass produced TWS products, to high end studio monitors.

Noble’s creations always caught my eye and now I really want a Noble flagship CIEM. It’s good to be the king.

Assuming it is your preferred sound signature, I prefer the Khan over KSE1500 and Vision Ears Erolkong. FYI, my preferred sound signature is “awesome”.

From why I read about the Sultan, i believe it tames the highs and refines the sound of Khan. I can see where a majority of people would prefer that but I believe I would prefer the Kahn over the Sultan. They are both considered flagships I believe.

EDIT: wow i posted in the wrong thread

however on topic I am very excited for what's to come.

Ownership transfer service would not apply to this situation, as this is an out of warranty repair.

You're missing the point. Taking apart an IEM and rebuilding it is obviously NOT impractical nor expensive as you already do that process during ownership transfer for only $399. Why can the same process, with the added step of replacing the drivers responsible for the 20-40hz range in both ear pieces, not be done for an out of warranty repair, for 399 + cost of drivers + labour?

Irrespective of that, you're not even willing to offer advice on how to diagnose the issue. I have loved my K10 CIEM since I got it in 2014, the sound signature has practically been perfect for me and it's held up really well. I fully understand that 6 years without any issues is testament to the build quality, but it was a significant investment that I'm not likely to be in a position to make again for a long time yet. So I think it's only fair that I should want to look into ways to continue enjoying them, other than purchasing a whole new CIEM. Yet your response is to mock me and tell me my only option is to buy a new set. Why are you not willing to have a discussion about options? If a new purchase is really the only option, then I can settle with that, but at the least there should be conversation and some troubleshooting done before that's the conclusion we arrive to no?

Here is a punt

And only a punt

If say it is the culprit is a moisture barrier

Take some .3mm soldering led/wire
Slowly push it down the bass tube. The wire will be soft enough to follow the contours of the tubing. If you hit something solid, dont try to force it.

The hope is
The moisture barrier will be broken due to the wire, moisture will gather on the wire and be pulled out when u remove the wire.

This will only work if there is a moisture barrier, and there probably isn't as you discounted that suggestion earlier.

That's about all the diy I can recommend without having a lot of tools at your disposal.

Ye but at 3000 bucks its really out of most peoples reach. Driver count went down but prices skyrocketed up with no real justification other than thats whats some people are willing to spend to own a so called flagship.

Yep

I'm pretty bummed about the Lotus Evora
Price

Starting around $100k

And the Toyota Camry TRD price
Starting around $31k

The Evora has a 6 cylinder Camry engine in it.... a real head scratcher.

But considering I cant afford either one, I'm happy sticking with my bodged together, 25 year old M3

Ye but owning a sportscar is something else, it shows off your status for everyone to see that you are a boss. No ordinairy people are gonna look at your noble iems and think the same thing.
