RIFPFor sure. (In my opinion, even better than Noble Kaiser 10)

RIFPthe Lyras are not a good comparison since they use dynamic drivers versus balanced armatures (Noble X)
that said, if you ever found the bass from Noble X lacking a bit the Lyras will definitely deliver that and more

ttft2012IMO their sound signatures are too different to say ’better’ they each shine depending on the genre of music or song. The K10 have amazing detail and clarity but they’re multi BA vs one Dynamic driver in these. It is kinda Apples and oranges comparison you could compare the K10 to Andromedas maybe or the Andromedas with encores. Dynamic drivers have their strengths but definitely have weaknesses especially with these and they don’t have the beautiful treble. I had both and if I could only have one I would take the K10 over these and are more comfortable for long hours whereas the L2 and demand your attention and are harder to get a proper fit

RareAirsyes, there's lots of factors that it's hard to compare... amp / cable / music / dac ... plus the driver system differences *actually ... my bad, I got K10u, not K10 ciem I think K10u has a bit more clarity, but detail is about the same & K10u sounds too bright & brittle. In any case, from my own listening experience (Noble K10u / 64 U10 / Noble X / Lyra II), I think Lyra II comes closest to my various pairs of closed-back over-ear headphones. Guess that's one obvious reason why I side with DD over BA. I use Topping NX2S to drive my in-ears while being mobile & maybe that's why I don't observe the recessed high from L2 as you mentioned.

ttft2012I do not think the highs are recessed it is hard to explain but when you compare them to the Vegas which is the old flagship same 8.5mm DD I could heat the treble extend further. The andromedas treble is amazing too but is definitely brighter but that is a 5 BA so the sound you get is completely different. the reason why I like DD IEMs is the impact and punch you get I haven’t heard recreated by any BA IEMs

RIFPIf you are talking about Massdrop x Noble X ; Lyra II is better than any aspect Either sound or build quality.
