Shogun – Precision, Power, and Craftsmanship
The Shogun is Noble’s latest flagship hybrid IEM, boasting a 13-driver configuration designed for deep, controlled bass, precise mids, and extended treble.

Inspired by Samurai Legacy
The Shogun’s art spray-painted shell mimics the fine textures and layered depth of Domaru-style armor. At its center is a golden Oni mask, symbolizing strength and precision, complemented by Menuki-inspired geometric accents reminiscent of traditional katana hilts.
Meticulously engineered, the Shogun’s acoustic chamber optimizes frequency response, delivering a balanced yet dynamic soundstage that immerses listeners in their music.
