Noble Audio has launched its new flagship in-ear monitor (IEM), the Kronos, now available worldwide. Originally introduced as a limited-edition 10th anniversary model, the Kronos is based on the Chronicle design but features an updated titanium shell and improved cable for enhanced durability and long-term use.
The Kronos boasts a premium build with CNC-machined titanium and titanium damascus faceplates, making it lightweight and ergonomic. Each unit is hand-assembled in the USA and individually matched to ensure consistent performance.
In terms of sound, the Kronos uses Noble’s most advanced hybrid driver configuration, identical to the Chronicle’s internal setup. It features a 6-way crossover system with multiple drivers: a 7mm dynamic driver for bass, a 10mm dynamic driver for sub-bass, a dual membrane bone conductor driver, two Knowles mid balanced armature drivers, two Knowles high frequency balanced armature drivers, and two Sonion ultra high-frequency electrostatic drivers. This complex setup delivers clear sound, powerful low-end, and a wide, three-dimensional soundstage. With an impedance of under 35 ohms, the Kronos works well with most smartphones, digital audio players, and portable headphone amplifiers.
The IEM comes with a custom hybrid cable made from palladium-plated 4N pure silver and 6N OCC silver, featuring a titanium yoke, 0.78mm 2-pin connectors, and 4.4mm AEC balanced termination for broad compatibility. Buyers also receive a premium case and accessories.
The Noble Audio Kronos was officially launched at the Hong Kong High End Audio & Visual Show 2025. Sales began on August 8, 2025, via nobleaudio.com and selected high-end retailers, with a price tag of approximately $4,500 (£4,100 / €4,750).
