Quote from: Anathallo on October 10, 2013, 11:52:52 PMWhat happened to Heir Audio and why are all these IEMS more expensive than what they were putting out with Heir?I think the folks at Noble would like me to keep quiet about. However, I did say in my Kaiser 10 review the following:"Noble is set up very wisely: By giving each of his team a share in the company, they can really put their hearts into what they do and everyone will reap the benefits of their hard work and talent. John has assured that Noble is built to last for years to come, just like his earphones."John and his whole team left to form Noble, so if you read between the lines a bit, you can see what the problem is with the guy who owns Heir. Please don't comment on it further as there's nothing more I can say about it. As for the prices, well, the newly re-tuned Noble 8C is EXACTLY the same price as the old Heir 8.A AND the Noble 8C has free shipping...
What happened to Heir Audio and why are all these IEMS more expensive than what they were putting out with Heir?
Hmm, thanks for the information. Regarding the prices, I was looking more at the lower-end models in my price range - didn't compare the 8C/8.A, sorry for the oversight. Didn't mean to step on toes, but I guess my question is more so referring to the reshelling/warranty of my Heir 3.As. Is there anyone at Heir anymore, or are they left in the same state as my PFE 112s?
Brannan from Noble has confirmed that he will be exhibiting at the HF meet in Coronado on Saturday 11/2. If you order at the meet, they will do your impressions on the spot for free.That settles it for me. I'm definitely going. I doubt that they can woo me away from my UERMs, but I'm willing to let them try.P.S. If you're interested in carpooling from central or south OC, PM me. Chances are I will still have a Jetta wagon (either my current one or a new one), and I can take three people and a shit-load of gear.
I look forward to 'wooing' you, sir.- Brannan (Noble Audio)
