Description
Hybrid Innovation Meets Sonic Majesty in Bone-Conducted Brilliance with Noble Audio's Kublai Khan
Hybrid quad-driver design with bone conduction and piezoelectric super tweeter
Expansive soundstage with precise, 3D imaging
Natural tuning with deep bass and smooth, clear highs
Premium build, 8-core cable, and full accessory kit included
Bloom's Take
$2599 is no small amount of money, and the growing number of IEMs in the $2k to $3k price range makes it more challenging to rise above the competition, but Kublai Khan is up to the challenge. By utilizing unique technology like Bone Conduction and a Piezo Super Tweeter, along with a magical tuning done by Noble Audio’s Wizard, Kublai Khan is poised to conquer the competition.

From Noble Audio
Descending directly from the lineage of the original Khan, the Kublai Khan features 4 different types of drivers, including a 10mm dynamic driver for superb bass and sub-bass, a bone conductor subwoofer, four Knowles BA drivers for mid-low and mid-highs, and a 10mm Piezo super tweeter. Basically, we took what we learned from building the multi-award winning Khan, and improved upon it with greater bass extension with a rumble that you can actually feel, improved mids, and airy and precise highs. We are also happy to note that electromagnetic interference from the Apple dongle is not an issue with the Kublai Khan.
The stainless steel nozzle includes a metal wax guard screen, and the 2-pin 0.78mm sockets are recessed. Kublai Khan is shipped with Noble’s 8 Core cable in a 4.4mm termination.
