The volume of my left noble sage sounds a little bit lower than the right piece. Tried switching cables, sources, L/R earpiece and there really is a channel imbalance. Anyone encountered this problem?

To circumvent this issue, I modified the output balance of my DAP to the left most side.
Often if the differences are small, it's because of slightly blocked mesh on the earpiece - have you already checked the nozzle to see that nothing is possibly causing it? (Even small obstructions can create an imbalance)

Hi guys,

I’ve just posted a review of the Noble Kublai Khan here
A really awesome IEM that sounds as beautiful as it looks 😍

Kublai Khan is high on my list of iems to get if I can at any point of time. The other being Dita Perpetua.

Wait up, I just saw Noble FoKus H-ANC⁠ on Facebook haha is this new!!

Fairly new, 2 driver hybrid, feature rich when compared to the FoKus pro.

My take, while it does sound shy of the FoKus Pro, the features make up for the sq. The HANC has been my daily driver for a long while now: rugged, feature rich, great battery life, sound quality warrants its position.

I have listened to Ragnar via SP3000 for two days now. What was there from the beginning was a good extension in the Highs and very good presence in the mids, but almost no bass (mid and sub).
The change after 8 hours and my preliminary impression: sub bass and bass developed to a good definition with good resolution and this process is still continuing. The mids and highs received an increase in resolution and presence with time as well as very good separation and stage with. The impression of the stage is a very wide.

The sound signature of Viking Ragar reminds me of Kaiser Encore, which I like a lot, being upgraded to a much higher level. Compared to other IEMs in my current collection, it outperforms Thummim LE in terms of stage width and holographic effects. Bass quality is very good, on par with Thummim LE but less impactful than Odin. Phönix's bass has more rumble. Mids is flat, again on par with Thummim LE. Mids of Odin is more forward and Phönix is more lush. Treble is airy and nicely delivered. Details retrieval, resolution, and dynamic are amazing. All in all, it is a keeper.
