Noble Audio’s Latest IEMs Look Like Samurai Armor and Cost a Small Fortune

If you're into high-performance in-ear monitors (IEMs), Noble Audio’s latest releases might catch your attention. The company has just announced two new models—the Shogun and Agis II—which are set to debut at CanJam Singapore on April 5, 2025. Pre-orders open a bit earlier, on March 25, through Noble’s website and select retailers.

Both models bring something different to the table, whether you’re looking for a high-end hybrid flagship or a refined evolution of a classic design. Let’s take a closer look at these two gorgeous models.

Noble Audio Shogun

The Shogun is Noble Audio’s latest top-tier IEM, packed with a 13-driver hybrid setup aimed at delivering deep bass, detailed mids, and smooth highs. Here’s what’s inside:

  • A 10mm composite diaphragm dynamic driver for strong, controlled bass
  • Two bone conduction drivers that help create a spacious, immersive sound
  • Six balanced armature drivers handling the mid and high frequencies
  • Four electrostatic units designed for extra detail and quick response

The design is just as ambitious as the internals. Inspired by traditional Japanese Gusoku armor, the Shogun’s resin shell features intricate detailing and a gold Oni mask in the center—a nod to precision and strength. Noble has also used spray-painting techniques to replicate the layered textures of Domaru-style armor, adding to its unique look.

According to Noble, the acoustic chamber inside the Shogun is engineered to keep things balanced and dynamic, so listeners get a natural, engaging sound without overpowering bass or sharp treble.

The price tag? $3,900 (£3,900 / €3,900).

Noble Audio Agis II

For those looking for a high-end IEM without going all-in on 13 drivers, the Agis II is Noble’s refined update to an existing model. This one features an eight-driver hybrid array designed to balance clarity, power, and an expansive soundstage. Here’s how it’s built:

  • Two Sonion balanced armature (BA) drivers for deep, well-defined bass
  • Two Knowles BA drivers for natural and detailed mids
  • Two Sonion electrostatic (EST) drivers for extended highs
  • Two Sonion bone conduction (BC) drivers that enhance the midrange presence

The Agis II sports a black resin housing with an artistic faceplate, giving it a sleek, minimalist look compared to the bold aesthetic of the Shogun. It also comes with an 8-core premium cable with switchable plugs, allowing users to easily swap out their preferred connection type.

The price? $1,799 (£1,799 / €1,799).

With these two new IEMs, Noble Audio is expanding its lineup with more high-performance options for audiophiles, musicians, and professionals who want premium materials, unique designs, and fine-tuned audio performance. Whether you go for the Shogun’s powerhouse hybrid setup or the Agis II’s refined balance, these IEMs are aimed at those who take their sound seriously.

Both the Shogun and Agis II will be officially launched at CanJam Singapore on April 5, 2025, with pre-orders starting March 25. You’ll be able to grab them from Noble Audio’s website and select retailers worldwide.
