I'll have to get back to you on that. Those pictures were sent by Noble so I could verify everything looked good before they ship them (which is a nice thing to do). Can't wait to see them in person.

Also I haven't ordered the 4 driver yet, but I'm thinking about getting it with silicon shells.

The heir 4.A/frogbeats 4C (EXACTLY THE SAME EARPHONE), is being retuned to eliminate the drop in FR. It's very, very flat from 20hz to 5k and it's quite nice (I have it and will report on it later).

Is this referring to that the dip in the upper midrange? If so.. that's pretty legit. Adding a SPC cable did the trick for me with my good old froggy C4's lol.

And this...

Does Noble make the Heir 4.A? I wonder if they'd do repair service on a Frogbeats C4, in case something were to happen to mine during the coming apocalypse.

I would like to know if that's true too, I've actually already cracked a piece off the shell once after dropping it and was fortunate enough to be able to superglue it together. 

You could always try e-mailing Noble about it, but they made it pretty clear via correspondence they don't want to be known as a service center for Heir and Frogbeats products.

Makes sense. I'll still give it a go if my C4's break. Luckily they don't leave my bedroom, so increased chances of not having to make the call in the near future...

Unfortunately, my wallet is 100% off...
