Thank you very much!
I was thinking about getting a pair of earphones at the budget of up to $300-ish. Looking for excellent mids with good and punchy bass/sub and sparkly treble, relatively neutral and balanced sound, as well as very detailed.
The question is whether the NOBLE 4 will be enough.
The Noble 4 is geared for reference signature so most of your prerequisites above won't be satisfied.
Based on your description above, the Savant ticks all those boxes. Notice i didn't changed the font size of "as well as very", it's because the Savant is not as analytical as the er4s. It's a bit smoother in the lower treble which is beneficial in reducing sibilance. Fortunately, clarity and detail are not sacrificed. I still find the Savant quite revealing tho not as "sharp" as the er4s.
Also you may want to look at the Noble 3? I haven't heard them but hopefully someone can chime in...
