Massdrop x Noble X Universal IEMs

Apr 30, 2017

So I finally got my hands on these as it had to travel to my friend in SG as MD does not do shipping to VN.
First overall impression is very nice, simple but elegant packaging, the pair is nicely rolled inside the carrying case. The shell is so pretty and everything seems well-built with no gaps or loose pieces. Installation of ear tips is very easy and I'm trying the Noble foam tips L right now. Though I'm sure I'll be back to using Comply foam soon as they are softer and provide better seal imo. Removing the cable is a pain in the butt though. With bare hands, they are very difficult to remove from the shell and I had to use a tower to add more grip to my pull. Hopefully later on it will be easier to remove the cable as some has said already.
The shell fits in my ear very well despite the shape being quite bulky. Though I came from the UE TF10 which has horrible fit anyways, always sticking out of my ears like sore thumbs lol. Now comes the sound. To preface I'm just your average Joe who just happens to love IEMs and use it exclusively for music. I like how the Noble X sounds, very detailed & balanced and versatile with different genres and tracks. I used to love the big & fun sound of the TF10 but I guess I grew too old for it and the composition of the songs in my iPod is evidence of that. I don't believe in burn-in but if after 80-100 hours something changes I'll update this post.
To sum up, I'm a happy Massdropper with this purchase. Hopefully this will get re-runs and more people can enjoy these as they are punching above their class being priced at just $250. And here is some potato pics for your enjoyment!
