Noble Unveils FoKus Apollo: World’s First Hybrid Driver Wireless Headphones

Introduction:

Noble Audio, a leading manufacturer of premium in-ear monitors, has announced its foray into the over-ear headphone market with the FoKus Apollo. The FoKus Apollo boasts a world-first hybrid driver design, combining a dynamic driver for powerful bass with a planar magnetic driver for exceptional clarity.

The FoKus Apollo’s unique selling point lies in its innovative driver configuration. It utilizes both a 40mm dynamic driver and a 14.5mm planar magnetic driver. This hybrid approach aims to deliver the best of both worlds: the rich, impactful bass of dynamic drivers alongside the detailed, accurate high frequencies of planar magnetic drivers. The result, according to Noble, is an unparalleled audio experience for wireless headphones.

Advanced Features for Enhanced Functionality: 

Beyond groundbreaking sound, the FoKus Apollo boasts a comprehensive feature set:

• Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): With an ADI chip and three microphones on each earcup, the FoKus Apollo promises effective noise reduction up to 35db.
• Long Playtime: Users can enjoy up to 80 hours of playback without ANC and 60 hours with ANC enabled.
• Crystal-Clear Communication: The FoKus Apollo features a built-in microphone for calls. Additionally, a detachable boom mic is included for enhanced clarity in noisy environments.
• Wireless Freedom: Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity paired with LDAC and aptX HD codec support ensures high-fidelity wireless audio.
• Seamless User Experience: Multipoint connection allows for simultaneous pairing with two devices, while a transparency mode lets users stay aware of their surroundings. The Noble FoKus app provides further control and personalized EQ adjustments.
• Premium Build and Accessories
• Noble has equipped the FoKus Apollo with premium materials, including an anodized aluminum frame, an Alcantara headband, and replaceable protein leather earpads for long-lasting comfort. The package includes a carrying case, auxiliary cable, USB-C charging cable, and various adapter options.
