What customers say
The Noble Audio Knight In Ear Monitors are celebrated for their premium quality and sophisticated sound. Listeners consistently describe the tuning as smooth, detailed, and slightly warm, proving enjoyable across many music genres. A standout feature is the exceptional midrange clarity, which presents vocals and acoustic instruments with natural texture. The build quality is robust, reflecting high standards in both construction and aesthetic appeal. While the bass is articulate, its impact remains reserved. For those prioritizing sonic refinement and excellent craftsmanship, the Knight offers reference quality sound that validates the investment.
Know before you buy
A tribrid system uses three different types of drivers to handle specific frequency ranges. The dynamic driver manages deep bass, the balanced armature focuses on clear vocals and mids, and the piezo driver adds crisp detail to the ultra-high frequencies, resulting in a more layered and full-range sound.
Yes, the Knight is designed to be easy to drive. With an impedance of 26Ω and a sensitivity of 104dB, they perform well with most smartphones, tablets, and laptops without requiring a dedicated external amplifier.
The 4.4mm plug is a balanced connection, which is common in high-fidelity audio equipment. If your device only has a 3.5mm port, you will need a 4.4mm female to 3.5mm male adapter to use these IEMs.
The Knight features an ergonomic shape designed to sit securely in the ear canal. While comfort is subjective, the lightweight aluminum and acrylic construction is intended to minimize fatigue during extended use.
No, these are passive in-ear monitors. They rely on a proper seal within your ear canal to block out external noise rather than using electronic noise-canceling technology.
Yes, the Knight uses standard 0.78mm 2-pin connectors. This allows you to easily swap the included silver-plated OCC cable for a replacement or a different custom cable if you choose.
