Nocs NS800

The NS800 are the first go at a balanced-armature headphone for the folks at Swedish headphone maker, Nocs. Balanced-armature headphones have a distinct sound that finds favor with a certain set of listeners and seems well suited to NOCS' flavor of...

Natural, organic sound ; Highly revealing and detailed ; Low distortion ; High sensitivity ; Superior comfort

Don’t deliver lowest bass frequencies with authority ; Not ideal for most electronic music

We think that the Nocs NS800 Monitors are a special kind of treat for the ears. But, in the same way that not everyone enjoys caviar – at least not right away – some may have difficulty appreciating the NS800’s distinct flavor.

you can get $30 headphones and they are better, trust me I even burned them in and they still sound the same. You are better off getting something else!

Nocs NS800 Monitors Review

The NS800 Monitors are no exception, like most Nocs they are contained in a small stainless steal housing with Kevlar reinforced cables. See all headphone reviews.

These are a great buy for the cash. The Nocs NS800 Monitors are a classy looking set of earphones that produce great audio quality. They’re a vast improvement on earphones such as the stock Apple EarBuds that comes with most Apple devices, and offer...

Nocs NS800

Dual-driver earphones that hit hard while singing sweetly.

Good noise isolation ; Attractive design ; Detailed sound matched with punchy bass

Non-removable cable ; Other dual driver sets offer greater treble presence

Nocs NS800 Monitors Review

The Nocs NS800 Monitors are a fantastic set of earphones for the price. Our review looks at the features, price and performance.

Great audio quality, Kevlar-coated cable prevents rubbing noise interference, mic and controls, comes with airline adaptor and case, stylish, small build quality

Not quite as comfortable as some other earphones, need to be careful using canalbuds outdoors

NOCS NS800 Monitors

In the past we've had a listen to the NS200 (Dec 2010) and NS400 Titanium earphones from Swedish brand NOCS (Jan 2012), and now we've got our hands on their flagship ‘phones, the NS800 Monitors. With their minimalist design and stainless-steel...

Beautiful design; comfy

Treble and bass need tweaking; a bit pricey

When it comes to looks and comfort, the NOCS NS800 Monitors are among our favourite earphones. Sound-wise, they’re good in the midrange, but need tuning at the top and bottom of the scale. The price is a little steep.
