Anyone know the actual sensitivity of these? Good call on Massdrop for not including that in the specs! 😀😡πŸ˜₯
I already have Campfire Audio Andromeda and Dorado IEM's, as well as Second Generation Westone UM Pro 30's, but these look VERY appealing to me with the 10x BA Drivers, especially for the price! The only time I've heard a Knowles BA Driver was in a pair of the NuForce HEM 2's (I think, the red HEMs), and I definitely wasn't impressed!
Thanks in advance for the sensitivity specs!

FOBeanThe sensitivity isn't specified. Best bet would be for someone to measure them but as far as I know, that hasn't been done. Either way, they're very sensitive and will get incredibly loud with anything.

jaydunndidditThanks Jay, I appreciate the info!
I already have a pair of the Campfire Audio Andromeda and Dorado IEM's, as well as a pair of the Westone UM Pro 30 Second Generation IEM's, so I don't NEED another pair of them. However, I would definitely like to try these out after reading numerous positive reviews and them having DOUBLE the BA Drivers that my Andromedas have. I bet these do sound fantastic, but I need to finish paying off my new Dorado's before I invest in another pair of high-end IEM's, so I'll have to wait and hope for a future drop of these unfortunately πŸ˜• 😭 πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ˜‡πŸŽ§
If anyone figures out the sensitivity for these I'd be eternally grateful LoL 😁 I am more than positive that these would be plenty loud enough for regular albums and music, however, that's not what I listen to 99.9999% of the time. I'm mainly listening to my live recordings of hippie/electronic style music of live recordings I make myself with Schoeps microphones and Sound Devices Mixpre6 and Mixpre3 recorders (the BEST and most expensive in the world) and are extremely HQ Recordings, and the levels are never as loud and compressed as the regular music that the rest of the world listens to!

FOBeanFwiw, the days of me carrying around a separate DAC/HP Amp are over, and as of right now I'm listening to my MP3's AND 24-Bit HR FLACs through my Shanling M0 Music Player, with an output of 80mw of power! I'll be upgrading that to a Shanling M5s in a month or so whenever they finally release them, since I've been very pleased and happy with the Shanling M0! I also own a Sony NW-A35 Walkman, which has been demoted to my car music player, because I prefer the features and specs more than the Sony Walkman, and the sound is the same or better on the Shanling M0!!! I'm sure that the M5s will have plenty of power for my Dorado's (only 102db sensitivity and a 19 or 17 ohm impedance, so not the loudest IEM's ever), as well as upgrades to the DAC and HP Amp chips in the M5s vs the M0. So I know that will have enough power to drive almost ANY IEM's on the market, even with my lower level live audio recordings, and the K10U's will be no exception. The M5s will have 240mw of power at 16 ohms I believe, and around DOUBLE that I'm balanced mode!
If someone has a Shanling M0 Music Player AND these K10U's, I'd love you to check out a few of my live recordings from the links below, and tell me if the K10U's get loud enough πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ˜‡πŸŽ§πŸ˜˜

Thanks in advance!!!!!!! I have around 800+ uploads to my archive.org bookmarks, if you search the name "diskobean" on the archive BTW, so lots of Recordings to check out if you are using a Shanling M0 Music Player AND the Noble x Massdrop K10U'sπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ˜‡πŸŽ™οΈπŸŽ§πŸ˜‰
