FoKus Rex5

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.

Didn't even mention my Rex5's or Pi8's.... I have an addiction...

The Rex5's are excellent. They only issue that I have, and it is a personal preference, is that at times, they can be too analytical... I listen to alot of hard rock/metal and the level of detail the Rex5's have really make the flaws in the recording/engineering stand out. For me, that can take away from the pleasure of casual listening. Also, the Rex5's are physically larger, and for me, can become uncofortable after a while. I personally don't think you can go wrong with either pair of buds. I forget where... I saw yesterday, someone (business) have the Rex5's on sale for $399.

The Technics don't get very loud at all... Pi8 gets loud, but I was/am sorely disappointed in them and their sound quality. The Rex5 gets plenty loud but, in my opinion, can be too analytical for casual listening. The Devialet are just plain awesome all the way around, once you get rid of the stock tips.

The Denon Perl Pro is an excellent choice. Due to their size, they take some getting used to. You may also want to look into Status Audio Pro X. They sound awesome. ANC and call quality are very good as well. They only area they seem to lack is batter life. I get between 5-6 hours on a single charge, with LDAC off and ANC on. Not knowing your budget, you might consider the Status Between 3ANC, which are about on par with the Denon Perl Pro. If money isn't much of a concern, look into the Devialet Gemini 2's or Noble Audio Fokus Rex5. They only drawback to the Rex5's is their size, about the size of a true IEM.

I had a difficult time getting them tuned in... Their biggest strength is also their biggest weakness... They are such a precise bud that they bring out flaws in track engineering/recording. I bet I spent over a month trying to dial them in to where I was happy with them. One other suggestion I will make, swap tips... On the Perl Pro, I like the Divinus Velvet tips... To me they are more comfortable and isolate better... I have only one pair of buds that I actually like the stock tips with. My Pro X's, I use Azla SednaEarfit Max TWS tips. Both Divinus and Azla can be found on Amazon. I have a pair of Noble Fokus Triumph buds on the way, coming from Japan. I am curious to try a higher end bud with a MEMS driver.

Lead me higher than that... To Devialet Gemini 2... Then to Noble Fokus Rex5... Then to Noble Fokus Prestige Encore... I just can't justify the B&O Grace though...

Status Audio Pro X are great for bass, better than my Gemini 2's or Rex5's.

Noble makes awesome earbuds. I have both the Rex5 and Prestige Encore. If your husband listens to alot of hard rock, metal, or hip-hop I would recommend the Rex5. The Rex5 is a little better tuned for music with heavier bass. The Encore is better for pop, country, classical as it has better, more open, highs. Noble focuses on sound quality more than the other features. Their ANC is ok.. Call quality is decent. Battery life isn't too bad. You may want to also look at the Status Audio Pro X, it does very well in pretty much all genres. It has a really good ANC, but the battery life could be better. My last suggestion is the Devialet Gemini 2. Sounds great in all genres, good battery life good ANC, pretty good call quality.

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

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

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.

I'll give it to Sennheiser they actually have better timing but it's little low sounding for me an not as bright as I'd like but yeah I agree with you the rest sound like dog shit compared to my Denon perl pro my rex5 an geekfly vitas. I'd say geekfly better for brighter more fun sound with all the details but no features an great battery life While rex5 is more analytical an some what detailed.

Not Americans some Americans. You gotta understand in an American I love android an my de on perl pro an my noble rex5 I don't care or need an iPhone. Yes I'm an American some Americans think apple is the best of the best but that's what Apple is made for. The person who doesn't wanna think. They want to be as simple minded as possible to the point apple basically makes the music sound how it thinks they should like it. Apple is made for those who don't wanna think android is made for those who actually wanna experience how things are meant to be , better quality pics, better quality music, moddig you phone to have your own style etc.

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..

You've already got the buds, plain & simple .Are you listening to the Denon Pearl Pros in APTX LOSSLESS? If not, purchase the Creative BT W6 dongle (it's like $65) and receive the lossless signal bypassing the Bluetooth stack in your phone (no down sampling). That's all you need, trust me. You're not going to get better sound. That's the precipus of earbud sound quality. Just make sure you utilize the hearing test accurately and have perfectly fitting tips. You're already at the peak at that point. And I state the preceding owning the Noble Audio Rex 5 (listen to them with the same dongle and it gives me Aptx Adaptive HQ) and their incredible, but when you get to this level it's not necessarily "better sound" it's just a different sound signature. I also have the Technics AZ100's and listen to them in uninterrupted 990 LDAC through the Fiio BTA30 PRO. The AZ 100's, same principal, not better, not worse, just a different flavor.

Je ne suis pas d'accord. Les Noble Fokus Rex 5 et Hifiman Svanar ont une bien meilleure qualité audio. Pourtant j'adore mes Status pro x :-)

Le top 4 en terme de qualité audio sont : 1. Noble Prestige Encore 2. Hifiman Svanar Wireless 3. Noble Rex 5 4. Geekfly Vitas Tu ne trouveras pas mieux en qualité audio TWS sur le marché actuellement. Après chacun a ses particularités et ce sera également selon tes attentes et budget :-)
