With five drivers, these are the most impressive-sounding earbuds Ive used yet.
Go on, sit down and relax because you might faint.
The Rex5 are some of the most expensive wireless earbuds that Ive ever tested at $449.
But I equally cant see a way that the Rex5 might cost less.
They look excellent, and the gold accents just add to the sumptuous look and feel of the buds.
There are some lovely small touches as well.
The case itself is a more simple affair, but no less nice to hold and look at.
Its smothered in green aluminum, charges via USB-C, and has a plastic bottom.
The hinge feels strong, and it clicks shut with a satisfying snap.
Thankfully, theyre begrudgingly fine on the Rex5, although I still dontlikethem.
Touch either earbud to pause, and then you could change the multi-tap function with the Noble app.
The app lets you change them, although there arent any extra features you just swap functions around.
you could hold the touch panels down too, though, although this cant be customized.
Hold the left to cycle ANC modes, and the right to conjure the connected devices smart assistant.
The touch controls are good.
But then come my general foibles with touch controls.
Want to confirm your earbuds are at their most comfortable?
Congratulations, you just skipped three tracks and changed the ANC mode.
Your mileage, of course, may vary.
The biggest is the personalized EQ that comes courtesy of Audiodo, and it works a treat.
It comes in the app, and it works as most of these systems tend to.
My ears are weird.
This didnt just deal with the volume difference, but also the specific frequencies my ears can hear.
The difference was astounding the earbuds sounded good already, but then after the customization, they sounded stunning.
There was greater definition to the cymbals in the left, and the soundstage widened.
All without the normal work I have to put in to dial the sound in.
My profile is stored in the buds, so it sticks around when I connect them to other devices.
There are more customization options in the app as well.
Want even more control?
Step into the excellent ten-band EQ, which lets youreallyget the sound you want.
Select one of the presets, sit back and relax.
It makes for a more interactive musical experience, and I think brings you closer to your favorite tracks.
That gives you a lag-free connection, and brings them bang up to date with the Bluetooth standard.
They do get multipoint support, and it works well.
Theyre packed full of audio goodies, with 5 drivers to give you some of the best sound around.
Theres a 10mm dynamic driver, a 6mm planar magnetic driver, and three balanced armature drivers.
Incredibly tight bass that goesallthe way down, crystal clear highs, and dynamic, effortless mids.
Nobles over ear hybrid-drivered Fokus Apollo headphones got me moving, and the Rex5 have a similar effect.

Bass notes hit with stunning weight and definition, bringing a wonderful warmth to the proceedings.
These might be the best things Ive put in my ears.
Nine Inch NailsHurtbrings its signature attitude and bite, Reznors disturbed crooning unnerving and uncomfortable.
Each part is clearly defined, and engaging in reproduction.
Finally,Weve Only Just Beguncourtesy of The Carpenters shows a more delicate approach.
When youve got ANC enabled and youre listening at mid-volume, you get around 5 hours from the buds.
The former get 7 hours with ANC, and the latter 6 hours thats more than the Rex5.
The case, however, is excellent.
Theres 40 hours of battery on board, which is more than most other earbuds.
But heres the thing.
