Noble FoKus Apollo ANC headphones

Showcasing a patented 40mm dynamic driver + 14.5mm planar magnetic driver setup, hybrid ANC, 80 hours of playtime, LDAC and aptX HD codec support, and removable boom mic.

For more than a decade, Noble has been at the forefront of designing and developing both universal and custom in-ear monitors. From their pioneering K-10 universal IEM to their acclaimed true wireless series and bespoke custom monitors, Noble is committed to using only the highest quality materials, meticulously crafted with care and expertise.

The FoKus Apollo marks Noble’s debut into the headphone market and introduces the world’s first headphones to feature a hybrid speaker setup combining dynamic and planar magnetic drivers. This innovative combination delivers an unparalleled listening experience, offering the precision and clarity of planar drivers alongside the robust and full-bodied sound of dynamic drivers.

Powerhouse of Innovation

The FoKus Apollo represents Noble’s first venture into the realm of over-ear headphones, featuring a groundbreaking speaker configuration that combines a patented 40mm dynamic driver with a 14.5mm planar magnetic driver. This innovative design sets the FoKus Apollo apart both in terms of sound quality and aesthetic appeal.

Planar magnetic drivers are celebrated for their precision and ability to deliver clean, detailed sound without the distortion often caused by driver inertia. On the other hand, dynamic drivers excel in producing deep, powerful bass by moving large volumes of air, though they typically struggle to achieve the same level of clarity in the mid and high frequencies.

By integrating both a dynamic driver and a planar magnetic driver, the Noble FoKus Apollo offers the best of both worlds—delivering the rich, full bass of dynamic drivers along with the crisp, clear highs and mids characteristic of planar magnetic technology. The result is a uniquely immersive and harmonious audio experience.

Epitome of Premium

The FoKus Apollo spares no expense when it comes to features and accessories. Equipped with an integrated ADI chip and three microphones on each side, it delivers exceptional hybrid ANC performance, reducing noise by up to -35dB. With support for LDAC and aptX HD codecs, the FoKus Apollo ensures top-tier audio quality, allowing the headphones to deliver an extraordinary listening experience.

Enjoy extended listening sessions with up to 80 hours of playtime—60 hours with ANC active—offering uninterrupted musical enjoyment. Additional features like multipoint connection and transparency mode enhance the user experience, all of which can be easily managed through the Noble FoKus app, including personalized EQ settings.

Noble also includes a detachable boom mic, transforming the FoKus Apollo into an ideal communication tool. A 3.5mm audio cable is provided for wired use, making the headphones versatile enough for gaming, streaming, and podcasting.

Crafted with premium materials, the FoKus Apollo features an anodized aluminum frame, an Alcantara headband, and replaceable protein leather earpads for superior comfort and enhanced noise isolation.
