TechRadar Verdict
The Noble FoKus Apollo sound fantastic with an incredible sound stage and mostly-well-tuned audio.
Theyre also Nobles first headphones too, marking a shift from its high-end wireless earbuds and wired in-ear monitors.
Sound is clearly the focus of the FoKus (I had to do that once, okay?)
with the feature set otherwise pretty limited.
You cant fault the company for offering value for your money.
And premium is what they are: the Noble FoKus Apollo are expensive headphones, outstripping plenty of rivals.
you might easily use the Apollo without it.
It does give me a handy shopping list of features to run through, though.
Next is ANC, which can be toggled between on, off or ambient mode.
If background sound was a cheesecake, the Apollo would be skipping that crumbly biscuit base.
Given that 30 hours is considered the average lasting power by TechRadars staff, thats a really fantastic figure.
They’re also a bit bulkier than many other headphones on the market.
This appearance covers up some flexibility issues though.
You also cant fold up the cans, beyond the band length with some retractable space.
Saying that, they survived a pretty heavy rainstorm around my neck.
Noble FoKus Apollo review: Sound quality
The Noble FoKus Apollo sound amazing.
I know, I know, stop the presses: premium headphones that sound great.
Im sure youre shocked.
Audio tuning is lovely and balanced in the Apollo.
It depended on the song too and some tweaking with the equalizer can mostly offset it.
Unlike many other sonically-impressive headphones and earbuds, I didnt have any volume troubles with the FoKus Apollo.
Unlike with most other headphones, Nobles app doesnt let you change the tweaks for these various codecs though.
Noble does its best to tip the scales, to its credit.
