Noble Audio’s IEMs and over-ear cans have always blown us away — but they come at a pretty penny. Their Lu Ban wired IEMs are made from cocobolo wood, look like something Gandalf would use when holidaying in Bali (in a good way) — and come with an astonishing £1,399/$1,299 price tag. We gave their over-ear FoKus Apollo headphones a near-perfect 4.5 / 5 rating when he tested them out, but their $649 cost puts them in the upper range of their ilk.

So it comes as a huge shock that the company announced Osprey, a set of wireless IEMs for £199/$199. That's nearly low enough to get them into our list of the best budget IEMs . Let me say that again: Noble has launched a set of wireless IEMs for 200 bucks! And if spec sheets and photos are to be believed, they look pretty great.
