Noble Audio
Noble Audio has been reinventing themselves in a way, with their new Flagship, Khan moving away from the traditional CNC housing to an SLA housing to the implementation of a Tri-level Hybrid featuring an array of Dynamic, Balanced Armature and Piezo Electric drivers.
The star of the 2019 Autumn Festival, however, is the Noble Falcon True Wireless Stereo (TWS). Having seen the prototype during the Hong Kong Hi-End AV Show in August, it was a product I was looking forward to and when it made its appearance, it did not disappoint.
Like all good TWS offerings in the market, Noble’s first TWS supports SBC, AAC, Apt X and TWS+, yes it uses a Qualcomm QCC3020. Coupled with an IPX7 rating and a battery life of up to 10 hours and a charging case with USB Type-C charging port that can provide up to 3 complete charges, for a combined playback time of up to 40 hours. The Falcon is already a winner on paper.
The sound signature of the Falcon is what leaves me an impression, the delivery of details at the mid-range has John Moulton (a.k.a. the “Wizard”) written all over it. At the high-end, it is one of the few TWS that is able to provide a bit of sparkle for those who prefers them on the higher frequencies. Ergonomically designed, the Falcon is extremely comfortable, and possibly the best sounding TWS at 2019 Autumn Festival.

hi，if elysian acoustic lab ” terminator ” compare with sony ier z1r , which one is better ?
thank you.
Hi Ing Kian, the two are very different IEMs which differs very much in Sound Signatures, without knowledge of your listening preference. It is very hard to cite which is better. The IER-Z1R is my go-to IEM if I would like an IEM which I can use as a reference while the Terminator is good, it is more of a HiFi sounding and not in the Flagship league as yet, however, my experience with the Terminator is that the performance can be further scaled with upgrade cables. I hope I have given you some insights.
