Noble XM-1

The newly designed plug shape improves the compatibility with a cellphone protection case!

Introducing Noble Audio’s first implementation of the new xMEMS driver technology, the Noble XM-1.

Until this point, wired xMEMS technology has been limited due to the need for a specialized high bias amplifier. In order to expand the accessibility of the xMEMS drivers and their unique sound signature, Noble has incorporated the high bias amplifier into the IEM itself which eliminates the need for additional equipment to enjoy them. The XM-1 can be used with any smartphone utilizing a USB-C port or an Apple lightning port when the included ddHIFi lightning to USB-C adaptor is used (TC28i).

To power the XM-1 and the integrated amplifier, we went with an active USB-C high quality cable with a 4-pin connector. Intended use is for smartphones with USB-C ports or lightning ports, or other smart devices that allow for USB-C listening. Note that DAPs that have USB-C ports may require changes to settings in order to allow volume to be controlled through the USB-C port. Also note that the XM-1 is NOT compatible with the Astell & Kern DAPs due to AK’s use of an abbreviated Android OS.

The XM-1 features the xMEMS Cowell tweeter paired with an 8.3mm Dynamic driver for the low end. The resulting sound is astoundingly clear mids and highs as is expected with the xMEMS Cowell, coupled with full bass extension, which has previously been lacking in xMEMS products.

The Noble XM-1 is designed to be robust to keep up with users that are listening on their mobile devices. The aluminum shell with stainless steel nozzle and wax guard help to make sure that the IEMs are able to keep up with busy daily use.

Incredible IEM, annoying cable

The initial impression was quite rough. The cable can be buggy when connected to a phone (not necessarily Noble's fault). However, when everything functions properly, this is one of the most impressive and exciting IEMs at this price point in my opinion. The soundstage is very intimate (in a positive way), and the XM-1 has one of the most incredible 3D presentations I have ever experienced from an IEM without any software trickery activated (I hear details coming from left to right and front to center). If you listen to a lot of EDM, this could be your endgame. I would love to see this with a "normal" cable and a larger dynamic driver. The xMEMS technology is absolutely mind-bending. I ordered this open box, but I got a brand new unit from Musicteck instead! Thanks!

Simply fascinating. Stellar local only DAP. The triple timbre options are no gimmick. The ease of use is top notch. Screen clarity and UI responsiveness are near flawless. Best resolution, and this includes the ibasso DX170 and Sony A306. Sonically, what we have here is a technical yet musical affair, that is highly transparent while retaining a warm character, with fantastically resolving bass and extended treble that’s resolute but never shrill. As I said earlier, this is a nearly flawless Dap, as long as you’re not a streamer. This has been a true pleasure.

Fantastic as is!

I love the opportunity to change op apps. The included one is my favorite. If you are thinking about it, it's a great product. Great build quality and feel in hand, unique design. So nice.

Empire Ears Hero with Code 24C - great match

One month ago I bought EE Hero and its sound was missing low range according to my preference. A bass was very slightly present although its genuine cable made from 4 copper wires (24 AWG) and some silver plated strands
After exploring many brands and cables I decided to go for Code 24C counting on thicker major wires (18 AWG) and better purity of copper.
The Code 24C sounds absolutely amazing, with full audible spectrum, strong bass but not overwhelming to me. The sound is accurate, tight but warm bass and creates extended stage space.
Moreover, very fancy dark purple colour which is really nice and not distracting as i thought by looking pictures. The set for connecting is perfectly design to apply 2.5, 3.5 and 4.4mm in a high quality manner.
Definitely, it’s thick and not allowing to make small rounds requiring a more space for protection (in a folder or a box).

Liquid Links Evua II

I recently purchased this cable through MusicTek. I found that this silver cable is very transparent, having balance throughout the frequency response. I found, the only slightly elevated region is the treble air regions, allowing a slightly wider soundstage. I also found that this cable adequately improved my Monarch Mk. 3, with noticeably better separation of instruments. This being that the Monarch Mk. 3 does slightly poorer on soundstage and instrument separation. Those iems often have trouble on busier tracks, and this cable noticeably improved that aspect, for me. This cable is for iems that already have amazing sonic properties, only improving upon those characteristics with transparency and a slightly wider soundstage, with more separation.

Very capable
