The next-generation Nocs NS500 is a study in evolution. The aluminium housing that Nocs debuted in 2008 has been continuously refined, to the point where it is now a CNC-machined, Chamfered-cut work of art. This superior approach to materials equates to a sound that’s equally superior, supplying the listener with an amazing sonic experience that offers impeccable balance, rich detail and a deep bass in equal measure.
Moreover, the NS500 is complimented by a tangle-free cable and a three-button remote for seamless iPod, iPhone and iPad control. The MEMS silicon microphone removes GSM/TDMA burst noise and picks up your speech 360 degrees. Four different-sized ear tips, one sets each to provide an excellent fit.
The NS500 takes sound to a new level, placing the listener at the nexus of the entire sonic spectrum. The custom dynamic speaker with titanium coated diaphragm is designed for the best possible listening experience with well-tuned mids, pristine highs, natural bass – they’re all here in the NS500.
Nocs' sound-tuning process takes around six months. In addition to customising the speaker itself, they spend a lot of time optimising the housing size and the bass vent’s size and design. In total, a dynamic Nocs earphone spends more than a year in development - proving that they leave nothing to chance in their quest for perfection.
High-precision CNC Machining allows Nocs to produce complex shapes that would be virtually impossible to achieve with standard machining. For the chamfer-cut edge, a precise angle lets them create the perfect design highlight. The aluminium housing’s sandblasted surface gives it superior scratch resistance and a smooth, even surface that enhances the high-polish edge. As usual, they’ve gone the extra mile to ensure that each NS500 component, from the Kevlar-reinforced cables to the noise-isolating silicon sleeves, is designed and manufactured for unparalleled durability and performance.
