As far as we know these Noble earphones, although hand-assembled, aren’t crafted by the three Cyclopes that made Poseidon’s Trident.

So why the name? Perhaps the fact that each bud has three balanced armature drivers (updated, Noble says, from its previous three-driver design) is a reference to the three-pronged fork.

Or maybe they get their name from the military-style hard shell box they come in. Maybe the people at Noble simply thought it was a cool name.
