Inspired by the limited-edition Chronicle that commemorated Noble Audio’s 10th anniversary, Kronos marks a bold new chapter in the evolution of the flagship line. The Chronicle has been considered by many listeners on Head-fi and at Canjam to be the best IEM ever released by Noble Audio — offering superb clarity, impact, and spatial detail — but was limited to 118 production units. Many audiophiles did not get the chance to obtain or enjoy its sound... until now.
Flagship sound.
Inside, Kronos features Noble’s most advanced hybrid driver system to date. Utilizing the same internal components as the Chronicle, the Kronos's precision-matched drivers are configured across a 6-way crossover network to deliver stunning clarity, powerful low-end energy, and a spacious, three-dimensional soundstage.
Despite its complexity, Kronos is impressively easy to drive; it is sensitive enough to perform brilliantly from most smartphones, as well as from high-end DAPs and portable headphone amps. Designed for discerning audiophiles, DAP users and collectors, Kronos opens up flagship-level sound to a wide range of playback setups.
Driver System & Performance
Kronos features a complex nine-driver system: dual bone conduction drivers, dual electrostatic drivers, quad balanced armature drivers, and a dual membrane (10mm + 7mm) dynamic driver.
- 1 × 7 mm dynamic driver (bass)
- 1 × 10 mm dynamic driver (sub-bass)
- 1 × dual‑membrane bone conductor driver (tactile depth and resonance)
- 2 × Knowles balanced armatures (mid frequencies)
- 2 × Knowles balanced armatures (high frequencies)
- 2 × Sonion electrostatic drivers (ultra-high frequencies)
Together, these drivers are integrated via a 6‑way crossover for a seamless, immersive soundstage.
Handcrafted design.
An updated CNC-machined titanium shell with titanium Damascus faceplates creates an IEM that is luxurious, durable, and lightweight while ensuring comfort during long listening sessions. This is an unparalleled level craftsmanship for Noble, with premium materials — titanium precision meets an artistic Damascus design that subtly changes from every viewing angle.
Each Kronos is hand-assembled and individually matched by Noble’s in-house team to ensure performance and consistency at the highest level.
Premium cable.
Supplied with a custom hybrid cable designed specifically for Kronos, the package is engineered to deliver maximum detail, speed and transparency. Constructed from palladium-plated 4N pure silver and 6N OCC silver, the cable features a titanium yoke, a 4.4mm AEC balanced termination, and 0.78mm 2-pin connectors for broad compatibility.
