Great things come in small packages - Noble Audio and more
My wife used to say “great gifts come in small packages.” She was, of course, referring to jewelry. I also felt great gifts came with lots of copper, maybe some silver, and aluminum wrapping. I just received a late Christmas present-delay because the manufacturer had to evacuate its facility due to the Thomas fire in California.
Noble Audio makes primo in-ear monitors. Some of the very best. They are mostly know for custom in-ear monitors (CIEM) but they now make some of their top of the line caliber models in universal fit.
Because I travel a lot for work and other aspects of my life, the total noise reduction you get from CIEMs does not work for me, and may be a bit unsafe- so it’s universal IEMs for me. Yesterday, one of those “small packages” arrived at my house. It contained Noble Audio Kaiser Encore IEMs. What makes this even more interesting is that 2 days before another small package arrives with a Questyle QP2R digital audio player. I will follow-up soon with more on both of these gems but let me just say, my ears are in sonic heaven!
