I LOVE bass, but often when something has a lot of it. You get awful highs, nonexistent mids or close to it and overall muddy sound. These dont do that at all. The lows are genuinely surprising, the cable and connections are all really nice and chunky and made of metal. I usually carry some Sony wf-1000xm5s as my go to earbud, but these might replace em. The impedance dongle works, but I really don’t think they “need” the extra push. It of course takes away some of your volume and generally just seems unnecessary to me. But hey it does give you even more bass if you want to go crazy with it.
Shipping and customer service were all awesome, I’ll definitely be coming back here. It was shipped super fast, packed well. Showed up no damage or anything to the packaging.

This is such an amazing offer and I hope HiFiSoundGear gets the attention they deserve with the deals and support they offer.
Ifi makes the best DAC/AMPs in my opinion. The filters and XBASS are sooo good. This thing can power pretty much all you need.
These IEMs are amazing! They are the closest sounding to open back headphones I have heard from IEMs. They solidified my choice to finally get custom IEMs and I am going with FIR through HiFiSoundGear! Love the customer support from yall!
The MkII is a great upgrade from the original VZR Model One.
The hybrid earpads are very breathable and far more comfortable for long sessions, especially as someone who wears glasses. I much prefer them over the leather pads. The only downside was some initial off-gassing; I had to let them air out for two days before wearing them, but it was only a minor inconvenience.
Sonically, the MkII leans more neutral and focused than the first model, with the Talisman noticeably boosting clarity. Positional audio is excellent, I could easily pick out enemy movements in shooters and in the recent Battlefield 6 beta, making the experience even more immersive.
Build quality is solid and visually pleasing. I also noticed that there is some sort of coating on the drivers.
Once again, VZR are my daily headphones. :>
They're very convenient for listening on the go or when in the gym, but I always feel them behind my ear and they tend to get a little bothersome after a while. The rubber ear hooks are very flexible but in turn this makes them feel less secure. After a few days the channels went out of sync but factory resetting solved this. The sound is fine for a bluetooth dac and is pretty neutral to my ears. All in all, they're very convenient when you just want to pop them in and listen without worrying about cables and microphonics.
Amazing people to deal with. I’ve found my new go to store for electronics needs. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Simply put, OUTSTANDING service from order to delivery
AAAAAA+++++
These headphones are absolutely amazing. The sound quality is fantastic although there is one caveat for iPhones. The only codec supported by iPhones without an adapter is AAC. Mind you, Apple‘s implementation of this codec is supposed to be better than the standard but I was disappointed to find this out after the fact. Took one star off for this. Keeping them refardless. I use them with my Ultimate Ears RR+ Pro IEMs. Adam and team were amazing to work with. I’ll surely be purchasing from them again.
No way shape or form do I consider myself an “audiophile”. I just appreciate good music. I’ve owned several pairs of “in ear” headphones. Hands down the Noble FoKus Rex5 are the best. With all of the fine tuning possibilities in the app, I believe you’re guaranteed a sound that’ll make even the most demanding happy.
They genuinely care about their customers and the customer experience. HiFiSoundGear will be the only place I purchase HiFi equipment in the future! Genuinely amazed at how quick and easy my purchase has been!
I recently purchased the Empire Ears Raven from HiFiSoundGear, and the entire experience was nothing short of outstanding. From start to finish, Adam (the owner) delivered an exceptional level of service that truly sets this shop apart.
The Raven itself is an absolute masterpiece—powerful, immersive, and refined in every way. It delivers a stunning sound signature with tight, authoritative bass, rich mids, and sparkling highs, all wrapped in Empire Ears’ signature build quality. Every time I put them on, it feels like rediscovering my favorite music.
But what made the experience truly memorable was the personal touch from Adam. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about high-end audio. He took the time to answer all my questions and provided insightful comparisons with other models I was considering. Shipping was fast, packaging was meticulous, and everything arrived in perfect condition.
It’s rare to find a shop where both the gear and the customer care are top-tier, but HiFiSoundGear delivers on both fronts. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone serious about audio. Thank you again, Adam—you’ve earned a lifelong customer. Milos M.
I have owned all the FoKus IEMs and my order of awesomeness for me is FoKus Prestige, then Amadeus then Rex5 in my current roundup. LOVE Prestige warmth and gooey-ness of the sound, Rex5 a bit too bright for me (I have treble sensitivity), and Amadeus is a great all rounder for me. The single DD just suits my eclectic taste.
Amadeus has the best fit in my ear canal (I use M tips) and I have med size ears. So if your ear drums run small Amadeus will be the best for you. Prestige is a bit heavy and falls out easily, Rex snug, Amadeus most secure in my ear as I use these more for Pop/Rock and WOW the sub bass depth is punchy for those brisk walks. Treble is nice and smooth and not as sharp as Rex to my ears.
For the price this one ROCKS!!!
ANC on all FoKus is just OK… but that not why I bought them.
The Noble Audio Fokus Rex5 is by far the best true wireless earphone I have used. The richness and clarity are simply a notch above everything else that I have tried. The experience is even greater thanks to HiFiSoundGear who provided excellent customer service and incredibly fast shipping! Extremely happy with my purchase!
Purchased as a gift it was easy to get the mold taken and sent off and nearly no time at all for the iem to be produced and shipped out.
Amazing service and exceptional quality work.
Would certainly buy again and I've already been telling all my other musician friends about this company and their quality products
I've had the Amadeus for more than a week and I've been using it exclusively. First of all, the Noble Amadeus priority is sound quality and it really does sound amazing.
The case is a bit bigger, but very premium quality. No wireless charging on the case tho. The earbuds fit me really well. I changed the stock eartips with Divinus Velvet tips (the stock works just fine).
The battery life is also amazingat 8+ hours in a single charge. The bluetooth connection and multipoint connection are also solid. It always paired up to my phone right away.
The ANC and ambiance mode are just okay, not as great as my Samsung Galaxy buds 3 pro.
All in all, if you are looking for a really good sounding TWS, the Amadeus is worth it.
The Odin Empire ears are pure magic. From the first listen, I was hooked—the clarity, depth, and balance are unreal. I use them every single day, and each time feels like a private concert. They’ve made me fall in love with my favorite songs all over again.
Beyond daily use, they’re the perfect travel companion—comfortable, durable, and beautifully crafted. Whether I’m on a plane or just unwinding after a long day, these are always with me.
Simply put, they’re not just earphones—they’re a part of my lifestyle now. Empire ears nailed it!
The sound quality of the Rex5 earbuds is exceptional and stands out in its class. However, there have been some connectivity issues with the accompanying app. In terms of battery life, it offers up to 7 hours with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) turned off and approximately 5 hours with ANC activated, which has posed challenges during International flights. Given these considerations, I am contemplating returning the Rex5 and pre-ordering the new Noble Fokus Amadeus. This new model promises an improved battery life of up to 12 hours with ANC off and 8 hours with ANC on. Additionally, I hope that the connectivity problems will be addressed with this upcoming release.
Great headphones and great service
I'm what you call a Tws Earbud junky. Thought I had the pinnacles when listened to PI8 and the denon Perl pro. Something kept nagging me to try the Noble Rex 5 And im glad I did. Sound quality is excellent once tuned to my liking. Excellent instrument clarity and separation and amazing bass. Was able to get over the green appearance (im more of a muted color guy myself), but the sound quality is truly unrivaled. Better then technics az100 though love those for other reasons. Only ones haven't tried are the devialet but im keen on sticking with these as they check all the boxes I need in TWS. HIFIGEAR was snappy and responsive with my shipping, answering all questions and has excellent customer service with a personal thank you video sent which was the bow on the top. Will definitely purchase from them again!
Very fast shipping and great communication. Definitely will buy from again.
Call quality is terrible, they also disconnect from Bluetooth intermittently. The sound is good when they work.
Frankie,
