Noble Ventures into Over-Ear Headphones with the Innovative FoKus Apollo ANC

Noble, a renowned name in the world of in-ear monitors, is making its debut in the over-ear headphone market with the FoKus Apollo ANC. These headphones stand out due to their unique hybrid driver arrangement, combining a 40mm dynamic driver with a 14.5mm planar magnetic driver. This innovative design promises to deliver an audio experience unlike any other wireless headphone, merging the accuracy and clarity of planar technology with the power and depth of dynamic drivers.

The FoKus Apollo doesn’t skimp on features, either. It boasts hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) with a reduction depth of up to -35db, support for high-quality LDAC and aptX HD codecs, and a remarkable 80 hours of battery life (60 hours with ANC enabled). Additional features like multipoint connection and transparency mode enhance the user experience, which can be further customized through the Noble FoKus app.

Noble’s dedication to quality is evident in the FoKus Apollo’s construction and accessories. Premium materials like anodized aluminum and Alcantara ensure durability and comfort. A removable boom mic transforms the headphones into a communication powerhouse, while the included 3.5mm audio cable allows for wired use in various scenarios.

The Noble FoKus Apollo ANC headphones are poised to redefine wireless audio, offering a blend of innovative technology, premium design, and extensive features. They will be available for purchase starting September 3rd at NobleAudio.com and select retailers worldwide, priced at $649/£599/€699.
