If your idea of luxury is premium sound then the Noble Audio FoKus Apollo Pro Wireless Headphones would be a perfect fit. They are not only luxurious in design but also offer premium audio quality that would impress even the fussiest listeners.
Audiophiles are willing to spend their money to enjoy high quality and that’s exactly what you get with the Noble Audio FoKus Apollo Pro wireless headphones.
And not only do they offer quality audio they also offer design quality as well.
They are available in two colorways: Burgundy and Peacock and have been designed more like a fashion accessory rather than a tech product.
Priced at $999, they are made with a lightweight anodized aluminium frame and feature plush velvet cushioned leather ear pads and a soft headband so not only do they look attractive but it’s also comfortable enough to wear all day.
We received the Burgundy pair for our review and found them comfortable to wear for extended periods, like an international flight.
The leather on the ear cups and headband, the parts of the headphones that touch your head, is soft and luxurious.
The headband is made from Italian Alcantara, which is the same material used for the interior of a super car.
The clamp force is significantly softened thanks to the ear cups so it’s no effort to wear them for hours and hours.
Our only note is that the ear cups could have been slightly bigger.
One difference with the Noble Audio FoKus Apollo Pro wireless headphones is the fact they feature not one but two separate drivers in each ear cup.
One is used to produce bass and mid-range frequencies while the other is solely tuned for treble.
As the saying goes, “many hands make light work” so having extra drivers means they can do their own jobs more effectively and combine to produce a better result than a single driver could manage.
And the result is superb with a rich and warm sound with exceptional detail and clearer vocals that sound real and organic.
The base is deeper yet measured and precise and you can clearly hear the separation between the lows, mids, and highs which are powerful without treading on each other.
The word that comes to mind is balance with the sound coming through the headphones as natural as if you are sitting in front of a stage and listening the performance live.
No matter what type of music you are listening to, the headphones can adjust perfectly to produce a quality of sound that will put a smile to your face and create a real emotional connection.
The physical controls on the headphones are easily accessible so you can navigate your music, control the volume, and easily toggle between active noise cancellation and ambient mode.
Active noise cancellation is impressive and does a great job in blocking the outside world so would be ideal to use on flights and the noisy environments.
Another great feature of the Noble Audio FoKus Apollo Pro wireless headphones is the fact that the system uses a voice tells you when power is on or ANC or ambient mode is engaged rather than just using sounds and beeps.
When it comes to call quality, you’re getting a premium experience thanks to a detachable boom mic that ensures you can be clearly heard even in noisy environments.
It also comes with additional plugs and an in-flight adapter. Also included is a braided 3.5mm cable and a USB-C to USB-C cable so they can still be used even when the battery is depleted.
Noble Audio has also included a smaller carry case which makes it easier to pack for your travels. But we did notice the case is thinner than the cases we’ve seen from other brands.
The Noble Audio FoKus Apollo Pro wireless headphones are available now at a price of $999.
