"if you want the best sound quality that makes the music live and addictive then my 1st recommendation will be Noble fokus rex5 ... after some hrs. of customising the Equalizers - then it's the best in the market"


"The sound quality is exceptional. ... Use the personalized EQ and then adjust to taste and it's got plenty of bass. ... My most direct comparison is the Sennheiser MTW4s which were great, but lost to the Nobles on clarity and separation. ... They sound clean AF but still have plenty of punch for bassy stuff."


"the EQ function is so powerful. ... There's a slick secondary tonality adjustment curve function that lets you really dial in your preferred sound in a way I haven't seen any other built in EQs manage."

"Noble fokus rex5 best sounding change my mind. ... Five drivers per ear bud game changing for sure ... Yes, you're so right. They are by far number one. ... There may be a few airbuds that get better battery a little bit, better ANC but right now my two cents worth, there's nothing on a planet that sounds better than these. ... I have all the heavy hitters. The techniques 80/100 Sony 4 and 5 sennheisers 3 and 4 and the Devialet gemini II. ... Ronontech on YouTube did a review on the Aviot a few days ago. I belive he liked the Nobels better. ... Also on YouTube, check out Flossie Carter review on the Nobles, he went absolutely nuts. Best sounding wireless earbuds he has ever heard."


"sounded great. ... Did the personal ear test and the Rex5 sounded very good. ... I use it at home too cause the details and soundstage are great. ... Rex5 are really good as detailed as my Final Audio D8000 pro headphone which cost $4,500"

They are even better than my Moondrop Dusks I got for my father. The Dusks are a $400 wired iem and the REX5's best them. ... I'm legitimately blown away. All the reviews were true!"

"Rex5 sounds great if, and only if, you have the time to really eq them out. ... I couldn't find any presets online to use so I started using the poweramp eq for other noble iems and spent almost 2 hours trying to get them to sound better. ... The clarity and separation is there but to get the bass to hit right took some time."

From what I've read, the Noble REX5 is the best sounding tws earbud ever. If that is the most important thing, then that might be the endgame. They have 5 drivers on each side verse 1 in the XM5's. They have a dynamic driver for bass, 3 balanced armature drivers for the mids, and a planar magnetic driver for Treble. They apparently rival even some wired iems in sound quality. I bought them, but they were already sold out after just around a month of release, so they must be very popular, lol. I'm actually supposed to get them today or tomorrow. I can give my feedback and compare them to the XM5's if you like. I actually have the XM5's as well. I must say they are $450, and I understand most people would not be willing to spend that much for a tws.

I received them shortly after commenting, and my god 🤯!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not even joking when I say they make the XM5'S sound like Beats and like the old Beats, lol. They are a clear upgrade in every way in terms of sound quality. They are even better than my Moondrop Dusks I got for my father. The Dusks are a $400 wired iem and the REX5's best them. I'm legitimately blown away. All the reviews were true! And this is the stock tuning right out of the box. You can customize the sound with the app. I'd say most will they are not super bass heavy, which I don't personally mind tbh. I'm a quality over quantity guy when it comes to bass, and my god, do these deliver. I'll try to compare sound as best as I can. The bass in the REX5's is less prominent but cleaner, faster, and more punchy, basically better in every way, in my opinion. Same with the mids, they are more clear and detailed. You can hear the timber and texture of vocals much more clearly because of the balanced armature drivers. That was my biggest issue with the Sony's. I love vocals Pop, RNB, Rock those are my main genres of music and the XM5'S mids just seemed dull to me not bad but not super engaging kinda boring for a lack of better words. The REX5 remedies that issue perfectly. The faster decaying bass almost emphasizes the mids more while not being a deterrent to the bass. And lastly, the star of the show, honestly, the treble here is damn near perfection. Bright and sparkly giving vocals a little more pop without being fatigueing the detail is very good as well, a tier above the Sony's. You can hear details and layers to music and vocals you simply can't in the Sony's. The soundstage is about the same, maybe a little wider. The imaging is also much better and more natural and "correct" sounding, you could say. The build quality is also outstanding. Both the earbuds themselves and the case are made with brushed aluminum. The most premium feeling earbud I've ever owned. The touch controls are the exact same as the Sony's, which is a good thing because I liked them personally. The battery life and noise canceling are better on the Sony's as I expected. They aren't bad on the REX5's, but sound and build quality are really what you're paying for here. All in all, I think if you have the money and know why you are buying these, they are totally worth the investment. I don't regret it one bit!!!!!

Of the ones listed, the Denon Perl Pro is the best... I own the AZ-100's and the Perl Pro... The AZ-100 is better call quality though... That being said... If your budget is $500, Devialet Gemini 2's... I use my Gem2's more than any other of my buds. I could also suggest Noble Audio Fokus Rex5's, $449... They sound amazing, but not the best for rock/metal music.

BEST sounding, are Nobel Audio Fokus Rex5 or Devialet Gemini 2... I also have the Status Audio Between 3ANC, Denon Perl Pro, Technics AZ100, and B&W Pi8... All of those are really great choices as well.

If you want something well balanced, probably stick to 3rd gen airpods. Technics az100 excel in sound quality but ANC is not comparable to the best. Bose quietcomfort ultra excel in ANC but sound quality isn't the best. B&W pi8, Noble Fokus Rex 5 is on the top for sound quality but the call quality is bad.

Noble Rex5 I had the Pi8 to see which one I like better, Pi8 went back as they are just simply not in the same class. Recently got the Denon Perl Pro for working out and honestly I wouldn't pay the extra money for the Pi8 compared to these for the 130 dollars off woot.

jazz ve soul dinliyorsan Technics senin için en uygun olanı, çünkü tiz ve midler çok belirgin ve önde tam klasik müzik, soul, blues, jazz dinleyicileri için. audio technica, yamaha gibi metalik bir ses imzası var. ben buradaki listeden gözü kapalı status audio alırdım. bu arada biri devialet gemini 2 için boş beleş bişeyler yazmış :) onunki şansızlık yada talihsizlik, çünkü gemini 2 de kullanıyorum harika kulaklıklar. 3 tane bluetooth kulaklığımı hiç bir şeye değişmem; noble rex 5, devialet gemini 2 ve status audio pro x. paranın alabileceği ve kulakların duyabileceği en iyi kablosuz in ear kulaklıklar..

I use mine daily but intermittently. I've never come anywhere close to running down the batteries during 3 or 4 hour sessions, going back into the case in between uses. I don't know that I've gone below 50% even, just hasn't been an issue. The sound quality is exceptional. Use the personalized EQ and then adjust to taste and it's got plenty of bass. My most direct comparison is the Sennheiser MTW4s which were great, but lost to the Nobles on clarity and separation. They sound clean AF but still have plenty of punch for bassy stuff. I don't know about the Amazon review, but anyone saying these are "awful" has an agenda. They're fucking amazing. My only complaint is the price.
