The U12t delivers an immersive sound and impeccable spatial imaging. It's clean highs extend beautifully with a warm and engaging low-end response - just like its custom counterpart, the A12t. Offering reference-level detail, this IEM is among the best for multi-instrumentalists, engineers, sound monitors, and audiophiles.
Each ergonomic shell is machined out of a solid piece of aluminum and finished with an elegant brushed aluminum faceplate.
Tubeless In-Ear Audio (tia) is a patented IEM design methodology that aims to reduce unwanted resonance and distortion for a transparent and lifelike sound signature. The tia system is comprised of three major elements: open balanced armature tia drivers, the tia single-bore design, and tia acoustic chambers. U12t features two major elements of the tia system: the tia driver and the tia single-bore design.
Air Pressure Exchange (Apex) is a patented vent that releases air pressure in a sealed ear canal all while retaining standard IEM levels of isolation; enabling musicians and music enthusiasts to listen more comfortably for longer. This venting alleviates listener fatigue and allows for a much more realistic soundstage. Apex comes in three module variations for U12t: mX, m15 and m20.
Linear Impedance Design (LID) is a patented circuit that corrects the non-linear electrical resistance of the multiple driver-sets comprising this 12 driver IEM. Varying source amplifier output impedance in devices like smartphones, body packs, DAC/amps, and DAPs typically results in varying frequency response across them, depending on the increase in resistance. Restoring proper interaction with the source and preserving the desired sound signature enables a consistent reliable sound.
I am really enjoying this unit. It powers my headphones as well as sends signal to my studio monitors. I love the onboard eq and effects (which I admittedly don't use a ton but love the option) and the screen is beautiful. I have been applying some of the headphone presets andI think they're great. I know some audiophile reviewers weren't favourable of the presets but I've been loving them!
Spectacularly fits with what i want from a headphone. My favourite sound signature out of my collection of Sennheiser, Grado, Sony, Koss, Apple headphones. Pairs well with my Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies 3rd Gen headphone amplifier/DAC. Added an after-market balanced cable to optimize my amp, but otherwise plug and play.
What an amazing experience. There was a delay in shipping, but they reached out right away to let me know. Fantastic communication, and very nice personal touch. They more than made up for the delay. As I upgrade my KEFs, I’ll only be buying from Noteworthy. Thanks for everything!
First of all thanks to Nick (Noteworthy Audio) for very quick responses on all my questions. Delivery was very fast, and got my set in time. U12T is perfect IEM with great soundstage and excellent details. I use my A&K SE300Ti and iBasso DX300 with AMP13 and I love this pair.
