Noble Audio - FoKus Prestige

My rankings based on what I own. My criteria are big soundstage, tight articulate bass, and comfort. 1. Noble FoKus Prestige 2. Master & Dynamic MW09 3. Devialet Gemini II 4. Noble Fokus Rex5 5. Denon Perl Pro 6. Technics AZ100 7. B&W Pi8

Noble Prestige trumps them all, followed by M&D MW09 and then maybe Noble Fokus Rex5.

On pure SQ alone: Noble Prestige > Devialet Gemini 2 > Master & Dynamic MW09 > Noble Fokus Rex5 > Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 > Denon Perl Pro > Technics AZ100 > Sennheiser MTW4

I have these and absolutely love them but wouldn’t go around recommending them to most people lol the Mystique is what I’d recommend.

Yea I agree, I’d never come out and recommend the Prestige to anyone but someone that only cares about sound quality, and price point doesn’t really matter. Even then I’d recommend the Mystique first. I’m heavily biased but for “the best” in sound quality I have to recommend the Noble Mystique. What is “The best” is so subjective it’s an impossible question to answer however.

Noble audio prestige better than all of the above. Definitely better than pi8

I would say for sound and other features the Noble Audio Rex5, and Devialet Gemini II are at the very top of my list. Now if you just want the best sound, and don’t care much about other features the Noble Audio Fokus Prestige are the absolute best when it comes to sound alone. And if these are a bit out of your budget checkout the new Noble Amadeous, another top pick when it comes to sound and other features at a more affordable price.

Noble FoKus Prestige

I just ordered a pair of the Rex5’s to compare the difference too, I’ve been blown away by the Prestige but excited to try those too

I own the AZ80s too, I love them, but I feel like mine don’t get loud enough or really have that extra oomph I’m looking for. The Prestige blew me away, the bass is so precise and I’m hearing details/textures in music I’ve listened to for years like it’s the first time

Noble FoKus Prestige are the best I’ve ever heard, out of all the premium buds. I just preordered the Rex5 set to test those out as well, but they use a FoKus app on your phone where you can customize your EQ settings and really punch up the bass if that’s what you want

Not sure why this got downvoted. For pure sound the Noble Fokus series seem to be a cut above.

Noble Audio makes best sounding ones, Fokus Triumph is amazing but no ANC so not as high demand + even with lower demand they are always sold out, can't keep, meanwhile $50 Moondrop Moca are imo better than any of the stuff in this list, ANC is not the best but it's usable
