I have been using these quite a lot today and man do they improve with proper amping. I used it together with my iPhone 6 for a while and when I got home i plugged it straight into my Jotunheim. Everything opened up and got a better bass-response.
I was not blown away when I first received them but they have really shown that they sound really darn good for the price.
NokironSame here, just got it in delivered to my door step. It's usable via phone but with amping, it's definitely punching above it's price point.
Torn between the Fiio X5iii or iDSD BL...
NokironBeen using mine exclusively with my stock Fiio X7 with the AM1. I'm really pleased with the sound. Best sealed IEM I've ever heard. But I am wondering if I should get an AM3 or AM5, and if that would be even better what do you all think?
NokironWell, the Jotenheim has a treble spike that would pair with well with the Noble X. I've played with the Noble X on army of portables since December, but not much on desktop stuff. Heck, I have a Jotenheim and haven't plugged the Noble X into it. From all the portable stuff I've used, the Shanling UP is by far the best pairing I've heard with it. It increases the extension on both ends of the spectrum and adds a bit of depth to the staging.
