Noise-Cancelling Dynamic Headphones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Noble Launches the Fokus Apollo Noise-Cancelling Headphones

— September 4, 2024 — Tech
Noble has just launched its first-ever wireless, noise-canceling headphones, the Noble Fokus Apollo, priced at $649. These headphones became available on September 3.

Each earcup houses a 40mm dynamic driver, a common feature in high-quality wireless headphones. However, Noble has taken innovation further by incorporating a 14.5mm planar magnetic driver, making the Fokus Apollo the first headphone model to merge these two technologies.

To enhance the listening experience, Noble has equipped the Fokus Apollo with advanced noise-canceling and transparency modes, managed by three dedicated microphones on each side. For voice calls, users can rely on the built-in microphones or attach the included boom mic for enhanced clarity, making these headphones versatile for both music and communication. A USB-C to 3.5mm cable is also included for those who prefer an analog connection.

Noble claims these headphones can deliver up to 60 hours of listening time with active noise cancelation (ANC) enabled and an extraordinary 80 hours when ANC is turned off.
