Our Take |
The DXII features a 12mm single dynamic driver with a gold plated brass chassis. It has a “W” sound signature with thunderous bass, smooth mids and surprisingly detailed highs. The 3d printed shell with red carbon glass faceplate is a stunning combination. Noble’s 8 Core cable with a 3.5mm termination comes standard with the DXII.
I own the Noble TUX 5 ( which are amazing ) and wanted these for travel with use of an iPhone with a Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt streaming Quobuz. I wish they were a bit more open and the highs had better sparkle. I wouldn’t consider them “ dark” but just not “open” enough sounding. Bass is great but I could and would sacrifice 25-30% of it for better soundstage and revealing highs.
Still not sure if if keeping them or selling them off.
