Okay I jumped into this drop as buyer #120 for the $229.99 price break. Curiosity got the the best of me (along with a failed deal I thought I had with a different iem) the extra discount also helped push me over the fence. And now I'm glad I did not jump on the Noble xx drop, as I believe there is better value and sound potential for my use with the Westone 30, based on what I've read.
