Conclusion
It’s tough to be objective in a hobby as subjective as ours, and even harder when you fall madly in love.
Yes, I’m in love. I want to have Spartacus‘ babies even if that involves growing ovaries.
To my ears they offer the perfect mix of massive bass, incredible resolution, enormous soundstage and a midrange to die for. Most of all though, they’re fun. They’re bombastic, groovy and in-your-face in a way that earphones with great technical chops generally aren’t. They’re not trying to be “accurate” or authentic to whatever the artist supposedly intended, they just want you to have a really good time.
It’s entirely possible you may not like Spartacus as much as I do. You may insist on your IEMs containing a dynamic driver, or you may find Spartacus a bit too aggressive and prefer something more laidback. There’s no way to know except by trying them, and I strongly encourage you to do so.
These are by far my favourite Noble IEMs so far, and I’d love to see them tune more earphones similarly in future. Thanks to Addicted to Audio for making this review possible!
