For over a decade, Noble has been leading the way in universal and custom in-ear monitor design and development. From their first K-10 universal IEM, to their award-winning true wireless range and prestige custom in-ear monitors - Noble only uses the finest materials, hand-crafted with passion and precision. The FoKus Apollo is Noble's first ever headphone model, and the world's first headphones to use a dynamic driver and planar magnetic driver hybrid speaker arrangement. This unique blend of technologies results in audio like no other wireless headphone that has come before, utilizing the accuracy and top-end clarity of planar with the power and body achieved by dynamic drivers. Available to buy on the 3rd September from NobleAudio.com and selected retailers worldwide for $649/£599/€699.

The FoKus Apollo is Noble's first foray into the world of over-ear headphones. With the world's first patented 40 mm dynamic driver and 14.5 mm planar magnetic hybrid driver speaker arrangement, Noble has created a headphone that is completely unique in sound and design. Planar magnetic speakers are known for their delicacy and accuracy, without the blurring effects of excessive inertia. Dynamic drivers provide excellent bass by moving significant amounts of air, however, due to their mass, dynamic drivers cannot provide the crystal clear mid and high frequencies that planar magnetic speakers are capable of. By utilizing both a dynamic speaker and a planar magnetic speaker the Noble FoKus Apollo provides the clarity of a planar magnetic driver, while retaining the bass of a dynamic driver. Two worlds collide for a stunningly blissful audio experience like no other.
