Noble Audio Trident Review

“With or without a DAC, the Noble Trident earphones offer a good sense of control, but like an overworked party host, they sometimes sound too busy to have fun.
We’d like them to strike down harder on drum beats, and fleet through the piano sequence with more drive. Dynamics could be a little subtler, too.”

“CA have been clever with the treble tuning and certainly the resonating chamber design makes it mark by offering excellent extension and clarity combined with an FR curve that, whilst elevated, is not peaky. Forwardness is apparent around 7-10k but it is not a straight up and down tuning thank god, there a mild plateau that keeps sharpness satisfyingly in check. So whilst you get the impression of the Andromeda being revealing and lively with little in the way of roll-off you just wouldn’t term it as being inherently bright or too strident.”

“Soundstage width is really impressive. It’s much more than average compared to most IEM’s out there but I can’t say this about the depth. Stage is kinda close to you, but really wide. It gives an open feeling, even with the dark sound signature. If it had more depth, it would be more relaxed but that’s what we have. Overall, I think the soundstage is excellent thanks to the great width.”

“I finally want to then show the measurements I took of Josh’s unit before it was made into mine on middle bass settings and as you can see it is pretty consistent with my pair with just a bit more of a dip between 200Hz and 1kHz (probably down too bass dial position being slightly higher since more mid bass). The only major difference is better channel matching!”

Cardas A8 Ear Speakers $299 – Review

” Things were going so well, I brought out one of my long-term in-ear references, the Sennheiser IE800 ($800) to pit against the A8. These two sound very different; the A8’s bass goes a lot deeper, without any loss of definition or low-end clarity. Dynamics are more viscerally felt over the A8; it’s a higher-energy headphone. But the IE800’s midrange sounds more refined and natural, and the treble is sweeter. The IE800’s sound is closer to neutral but less exciting to listen to.”

FINAL AUDIO DESIGN PIANO FORTE VIII $1000 – REVIEW

“Lows – I thought the low end might lack somewhat given that this is an open earphone. I was wrong. Again textures and detail are front and centre is the name of the game. As mentioned above there was no discernable bleed into the midrange. The dynamic drivers push out a more than sufficient level of rich bass. Sub bass is there but not in large quantities and I don’t feel I am lacking anything for the type of music I would choose to listen to on these IEM’s.”
