FULL STORY
======================================================================Noble 
The Knight IEMs just unveiled, with triple-driver configuration You're also 
getting an 8-strand OFC silver-plated cable Available from today, with 
arguably 'entry-level' pricing 

Reader, all these years I've traipsed to work every day, put in my 8.5 hours 
(plus overtime) for the powers that have always been, hoping The Knight of my 
dreams is poised ready to whisk me off my feet and take me away from all 
this. And now  oh Noble steed!  it has happened. Sort of. 

Audio specialist Noble (see the Noble FoKus Apollo wireless headphones and 
Noble Audio IXM1 in-ear monitors for further example's of the company's 
oeuvre) has just unveiled a triple-driver in-ear monitor (IEM) headphone 
option called The Knight. And it's pitching them at what it calls the 
"entry-level market"  if $289 (around 269/309/AU$465) counts as entry-level 
in your book. 

For the money, you're getting an admittedly beautiful pair of IEMs with a 
premium 8-strand woven OFC silver-plated upgrade cable to boot. The Knight 
also comes with an aluminum shell (it really is a Knight in shining armour!), 
with what Noble calls a "3D effect acrylic faceplate in an eye-catching 
combination of deep purples and rich blues". The Knight drivers 

The Knight's drivers aren't trivial pieces of kit (or Kitt! Sorry) either. 
The dual magnet 10mm dynamic driver in each earpiece promises deep, 
controlled bass, while the Sonion balanced armature (BA) driver handles the 
mid-range frequencies. Finally, the Piezo driver takes care of the high 
frequencies. 

For me, the look here is not dissimilar to something Campfire Audio might 
unveil (see the Solaris Stellar Horizon , the Moon Rover or Trifecta to see 
what I mean) and to do this for the fee above is no small achievement. 

When done well, triple-driver designs can provide notably clearer and more 
detailed audio over solo-driver options  but I must stress the 'done well' 
part of that statement. Those drivers must be well integrated so that timing 
doesn't become an issue, resulting in a slightly cluttered experience where 
certain sounds seem to lag or 'stick out'. But there's no reason whatsoever 
to suspect that could happen here. I truly hope Noble The Knight become some 
of the best wired earbuds on the market  and I hope I get to hear them soon. 

This Noble Knight is available to buy from today (January 3, 2025) at 
nobleaudio.com and select retailers worldwide. Looking for over ears instead? 
Our best wired headphones guide is the place to go, but know this: none of 
them has a name quite so intriguing or fun as 'Noble The Knight' You may also 
like... I took AirPods Pro 2's Hearing Test and it was mixed news, but 
everyone should do it right away Unbelievably, I've fallen in love with these 
sub-$20/18 wireless earbuds, for two big reasons Apple's cheapest AirPods 4 
aren't sonically superb, but one great perk keeps me coming back
