New From Noble Audio!
A new release from Noble Audio is stirring up some excitement in the audiophile world. The new FoKus Apollo is a pair of ANC headphones with a never-before-seen combo: dynamic and planar drivers! Retailing at $649, they come in as the first wireless over-ear headphone from the company with some big technological risks.
What makes this so special?
It’s not unheard of for headphones to have multiple drivers. Normally, you’ll see this in in-ear monitors with multiple balanced armature drivers delivering a detailed frequency response. While we have seen dual dynamic drivers, multiple balanced armatures, dual planar magnetic drivers, the combination of dynamic and planar is uncharted territory. The FoKus Apollo comes with a 40mm dynamic driver, and 14.5mm planar magnetic driver. Before listening, I would predict that these have a powerful bass but with exceptional clarity and detail.
Not only is the FoKus Apollo the breaking barriers in the wireless headphone world, but it is a new step forward for Noble Audio. Noble Audio is most famously known for their in-ear designs, true wireless or wired, and the advanced compact tech they fit into each product. They take a bold risk by expanding their range into over-ear design. This is exciting and leaves me wondering if there will be more models like this one in the future.
Features of the FoKus Apollo
The FoKus Apollo comes with a lot of exciting features that audiophiles are sure to enjoy. With 80 hours of battery life (60 with ANC mode turned on), users can listen to their favorite tracks both wirelessly or with a wired connection. The multipoint connectivity allows for adaptability across numerous devices. For gamers and people who work from home, a detachable boom microphone has been added for enhanced call quality no matter the purpose. Users can tailor their listening experience with the Noble Audio app: customize transparency mode, EQ settings, and much more.
Noble Audio is retailing these new headphones at $649. Be sure to preorder today!
