Hey guys, would like a bit of clarification on manufacturing time. There are a lot of different answers in this thread so I wanted a feel  for what you guys thought.
So i ordered a custom reshell of the K10s in december. These are the main dates:

12/04/2016: Date I made my order.

1/03/2017: Date i received a confirmation email that they received the IEMs and impressions.

12/16/2016: Date when the iems actually were received by the labs (as confirmed in the confirmation email)

1/09/2017: Date that the wizard reprint was confirmed with me.

2/09/2017: Today's date

From which date should I start counting the "6-8 weeks" ordering process? Is this experience shared by anyone else? Its already been over 2 months of waiting for me technically so this whole thing has been a little disheartening.


I suggest u contact sunny at the lab for an update

Furthermore there was a holiday to contend with

Thank you, I was under the impression noble does not contact you until they are done because they are so busy so i did not want to bother them. I have been notified by Brannan that the 6-8 week ordering process is counted from when they receive the iems at the lab (like they say on the website). I hope this helps other people who are waiting as well. I'm so excited!!!

Finally! Today my Noble Encore universal arrived! I will write more about my impressions after I´v listened to them for a few days.

I´v been tip rolling all evening. Soon tried them all. The first three tips I tried didn´t give me much bass at all. Actually there was a good amount of bass, but after reading about them I felt there should be more. On the fourth attempt a big grin spread across my face. This is what I hoped they would sound like! Wonderful physical slam and airyness and instrument separation from here to the moon. Wow!

I have a lot of listening to do... and now I´ll crack open a beer as well.
Thank you Team Noble!

Ur impression is correct, but if one has reason to believe their build time is over due, asking for a status check is perfectly understandable

Cheers

I managed to trade my HD800 and a bit of cash for Katana universals. I will be pairing them with WM1Z and am currently weighing my balanced options. Have my eyes on the Labkable Samurai III as the likely candidate. Pretty excited!

Question for Kaiser Encore owners: the bass- does it sound like the typical bass that BAs make? I've got the itch for something new, but have been disappointed in balanced armature bass in the past with my es5s, and since have stuck to IEMs that utilize dynamic drivers.


I have ES5 and k10 (not encore). The quality and quantity of bass is way better than es5... from what I read encore is slightly better than k10 in all aspects.. so if you choose encore you shouldn't be disappointed.. as to punch on Sony zx2 I set clear bass to +1 to get extra oomph (daft punk etc..). All in all there is good quality of bass on k10

Tomorrow will be 8 weeks to the day since my impressions were received at the lab. Wonder how much the Chinese New Year will have impacted production time...

I'm guessing that I'll be checking my phone a time or two over the next few days... :)

Didn't we both order at the same time? Mine will be ready this Friday.


I think we ordered around the same time, although it was a while later before I got my impressions done.

They were received at the lab on Dec 20th. What about you?
