Noble Audio's Latest Earbuds Have A Four-driver Setup And A Solid Wood Design

The past clip I utilized a group of Noble Audio earbuds, nan institution managed to battalion 5 drivers into nan mini housings. Now it’s backmost pinch a caller model, nan FoKus Prestige Encore, and contempt only having 4 drivers this time, nan institution still took plentifulness of cues from its statement of pro-grade in-ear monitors (IEMs).
