  thanks for the info! currently testing long-term comfort, 1.5 hours in and still not feeling any discomfort, so I think I got a good fit.

How do they sound??  

 

not home yet so listening straight out of my laptops output. so far i'd say the sound signature is exactly what i wanted. slightly elevated bass and mid-bass without being overly boomy, warm overall and very gentle treble. my previous headphones were the shure se846s, and to me the blue (default) filters' bass is a bit too strong, and the white filters' treble is a bit unpleasant. i wanted something in between and thought that the k10s were it from reading all the reviews. i bought it blind without trying the universals first, but so far in my ~1.5 hours or so of listening time so far, the gamble paid off as they are pretty much exactly what i wanted (i missed the encore train by a few days, but the regular k10s are close enough to perfect imo). can't wait to see how well they scale when properly amped. got a headamp gsx-mk2 at home, a bit overkill lol?

I am considering getting myself a pair of K10s soon (if something doesn’t pop up and use up all my money before then

) and so seeing the quite frankly amazing creations of the Wizard I am very tempted to lay down the extra cash.
 
Now my question is, which may have been asked before, do you have a portfolio or such like of designs that you have come up with then match them with people’s requests or do you design them as and when someone orders a Wizard Design?
 
How much input do you like from people when they go for the Wizard Design, do you prefer some guide lines or images of designs they like or a “go wild” and give you full creative freedom?
 
Thanks

they do both fully custom/new designs (wizard design, $400 option) as well as matching previous designs (wizard reprint, $200 option). for previous designs you can find them online or in the official noble lookbook (https://nobleaudio.com/en/lookbook/)
 
as for involvement for the wizard design process, it can be as much or as little/vague as you want i believe.

Currawang talks about Noble products in his festival report. He says the new K10s (I guess he means Encore) has quite strong treble. Not really the words I'd like to hear about K10 Encore. Treble-heads will be happy I guess.

He said still quite strong, which leads me to believe its still great, not that its been boosted to levels which might make them too bright.

Well after waiting on my sla k10's since the 13th of October and getting a no show, Brannan has graciously let me get a pair of acrylic with designs. Only have to hold on for 2 more weeks! Lord God the waiting is killing me!

Since its Halloween. Maybe this will help, mine took 4 months, which is not normal, so don't panic.

I thought he was comparing them to Katana, not the regular K10.

thx Wata!im actually glad they got sent to the wrong lab because now I get what I really wanted and it won't take 3 months but only 2 weeks. He said sla or acrylic would only take a couple weeks. I think I came out on top so im not complaining. I do hate waiting though!lol

Only he would know what he meant, it just seemed to me like he was saying the K10E treble was still strong as in good. You could always send him a PM, or ask him to clarify here.

I cant stand waiting for a pair of shoes to arrive, let alone something like the K10's.
