  Are we still posting the music we're listening to on our Noble products?
 

Totally mad about the new (and last) Röyksopp album!


Love this song!!! Thanks so much

I notice a few of you have the K10 and the Audeze LCD-3F. How do you think they compare? Obviously the comparison is a little unfair but, for example, the bass on my Unique Melody Miracles was much better than on any other headphones I've heard (including the Fostex TH900) and the soundstage was surprisingly large so I think there may be a comparison to be made.

I know that Noble is having pretty good sales judging by all the photos of new ciems but I wonder how many people are actually holding off just for this Black Friday as last one Noble was still a new company and I think a lot of people weren't ready to shell out the cash but know things are different.

   
I am glad to be wrong then.

I should've checked this thread before ordering them last week :)

Tried the K10 today.. Any chance there'd be a K12 any time soon with a bit deeper (not more) sub bass?


Apparently, they easily go lower than 20Hz, the generally considered lower threshold of human hearing, give or take a couple dB.

Not that I doubt it, actually. But, it's a claim unsubstantiated, as far as I've seen.

Generally though, you'l see many large manufacturers claim extension down to like 5Hz in the specs, which they don't substantiate either. To be fair. But then again you don't see the head of say, Sony headphone division personally say it. Also to be fair.


What was your source?


Good question.


Hm901. Tried it both single ended and balanced from my twag cable.

Sony claims that the XB1000 produces a FR between 2 Hz -30 kHz.

Awesome!
 
Yes, you need tips. All our universals ship with four different kinds of tips (soft silicone, hard silicone, double flange, foam) in three different sizes (small, medium, large).

I am seriously considering ordering a pair of the K10's but I wonder if someone could please confirm that where it says on the order page that you can go for the Wizard Re-print, does this mean that you can upload a picture of a previous Wizard design from say their Facebook page and have your K10's done in that same design?

Yep, that's more or less what it is. They will do their best to re-create the same Wizard design of your choice.

Which tip is recommended ideally? I guess I'm asking which one the K10U was tuned with by the Wizard or should be the "default" sound of the K10U.

I would recommend the following:

JVC Spiral Dot
Aurisonics Sure seal
Ortofon ear tips

Tips with shorter stems seems to bring out the best from the Kaiser 10 universal IEMs.
