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.
Great little all in one iem, no need to bring a long your dap or amplifier as these plug right into your phone. The xMEMS driver provide an nice airy treble experience, mids are pulled back a bit in comparison to treble and bass and oh that bass. It's probably some of the most fun accurate bass outside of Theiaudio monarch MK3 and at half the price. All in all it's a great iem and definitely would recommend giving the XM-1 a try if you're curious about xMEMS drivers.

Truly amazing sound quality
Once again the Wizard has come up a masterful tuning.
I wanted to try the mems speakers to see what they were like and was not disappointed. The combination of these with the dynamic drivers is excellent.

Excellent service, price and communication from you guys. I like astrolith more in person than i did initially through the pics/vids. It has really extended treble and bass, although coming from OG Vega, EE Nemesis, 64A Nio etc., I do have to boost the bass for my needs. Still early days, but looks like a keeper. I’ve also ordered a Code 24C to pair with it. Let’s see.
I was a bit worried because it has fewer drivers, but these earphones are truly amazing. They stand apart from previous Campfire Audio earphones. The highs are, of course, excellent, and the lows are also impressive. And the vocal range is so beautiful that I never get tired of listening. I’m glad I bought them.
