Noble Audio is a US maker of in-ear monitors, formed on 15 April 2013 as Wizard Audio Industries, LLC by John Moulton, an audiologist known in the trade as the Wizard. It makes universal and custom IEMs, from wireless earbuds to multi-driver wired flagships, and is known for its Prestige program of individually finished shells.
Range & what it's known for
The current range starts with the Osprey wireless IEM and the FoKus Prestige Encore wireless model, then moves through wired universals such as the Vanguard, Iris, Apollo Pro, Artemis and Lu Ban. Higher up sit the Kadence, Khan and Sultan, with the Kronos at the top of the wired universal list at USD 4,500. Build Your Own Prestige lets buyers pick from numbered shell blocks, each a one-off finish, at USD 3,999.
Who owns it and where it's made
Noble is a family business. John Moulton, who holds a doctorate in audiology and began building custom IEMs while working at a large hearing aid maker in Thailand, is founder and 50% owner and lives in Thailand. Since April 2018 his brother Jim Moulton, a former corporate and trial lawyer based in Texas, has owned the other half. Other family members run shipping, marketing, accounting and the European market.
The lineup in this catalog
Noble lists its IEMs from about USD 199 to USD 4,500.
Who it's for
Noble makes sense for a wired universal IEM buyer planning to move up within one brand, from the Vanguard and Iris to the Kadence, Khan and Sultan. Buyers who want a one-of-a-kind shell can go straight to the Prestige program.
