Can $199 true wireless IEMs really be more fun than $300+ wireless earbuds and even $1,000+ custom IEMs? The $199 Noble Audio Osprey just became my favourite travelling companion — and in this Short I explain why. With premium features like LDAC & aptX HD, active noise cancelling, transparency mode and custom EQ, it's the tactile, physical presence of its dynamic + balanced armature drivers that makes the Ospreys so addictive once dialled in.
