Hey Tupac,
 
May I ask why did you change your order from Harmony 8 to Harmony 8 Pro? Any particular reason?
 
I was more interested in vanilla H8, so I was waiting for your impressions and review actually

You know people will always choose pro over non-pro version regardless how they sound like. lol I guess I am in the same boat here. :p Seriously, I think H8 pro should fit my taste better with greater treble extension. I have yet to heard a CIEM that have greater treble extension than SE5, so this is my bet :)

Order both of them and compare, I want H8 review

Ps: Obviously, j/k. Also, maybe we shouldn't derail Noble thread anymore.
 
I checked your table again you are right, some scores changed and all. I was surprised by EM32's performance, didn't know it was that good (only with 3 BA, performs better than many 6+ BA ciems). I also thought K10 would get 90+ maybe. Still a very good ciem obviously.
 
As for Roxanne, just lol

I rather not to write my opinion about JHA here since there is a lot of JHA lovers in head-fi, I don't want to get banned or something, but you got me I guess

It was, as I said, I widen the score gaps. :)
 
Roxanne isn't bad at all to new head-fiers or if it was not advertised as "The best sounding CIEM in the world".

  No problem. I have widen the gaps between the overall scores, so don't be surprised if some scores are different now. :)

 
 
Well, it seems you think about as much of the MG6 Pro as I do, in spite of Kunlun's glowing review to the contrary.
 
 

 
 
Nice to see some new Hugo cases coming out - so when I can finally afford a Hugo, I'll be able to keep it in good condition.
 
 
 
...Still wondering if we'll ever see some matching artwork on CIEM cases from Noble...

  Here is a Noble Audio exclusive announcement for the Head-Fi community:-
 
 
 
Chord Electronics will be releasing a case(s) for the Hugo towards the end of July.
 
 
There will be four models available in two designs... the cases have been designed by Mr John Franks.
 
The first case design features a carry-handle and is available in Black or Natural-Brown leather.
 
The second design features a shoulder-strap and is also available in Black or Natural-Brown leather.
 
There are no photo's available at present when they're available they will be forthcoming... there Hugo, the cat is out of the bag.

 
 
 
That's a great idea! Given the apparent popularity of the Hugo, I imagine some other companies would eventually pop up making accessories anyway. Might as well have them come straight from the horses mouth.

Sorry for the OT, and also for being a bit of an ********. We now return to our regular scheduled programming...

The chart is totally my opinion and in my own experience. It's only for a brief comparison. I know it means probably nothing since it does not talk about any sound signature, performance and so on. I did have a massive review with it. Sadly I don't think I will be able to translate it (and not interested in it either) One thing for sure. I am not biased to ANY company. This is truly what I hear. Well...maybe a little biased to Roxanne. I still can't believe how bad it sounds (to my ears) as a newest flagship...

once after a while, I was able to convince myself to give it one more chance.. But I just couldn't keep them in my ears for more than 10 minutes before I gave up again.

U wrote your reviews in Chinese? Could you send it to me in private..I'm quite eager to hear from people like you, who have auditioned quite a lot of IEMs.
