Planar magnetic drivers provide increased accuracy of sound transmission due to their ability to transmit high and mid frequencies better than dynamic drivers. Dynamic drivers, on the other hand, are able to move more air to produce powerful bass. The developers at Noble Audio claim that using different types of speakers together creates a “stunningly blissful sound” that no other headphones can replicate.

FoKus Apollo supports LDAC and aptX HD audio codecs, so users can get high-quality sound over Bluetooth. The developers promise up to 60 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation enabled and another 20 hours more without it. The ADI chip and six microphones are responsible for active noise reduction. According to the company, this is enough to suppress 35 dB of ambient noise. Simultaneous connection via Bluetooth to several devices and transparency mode are available. You can adjust music profiles according to your own preferences using the accompanying mobile application.

The developers did not skimp on the materials from which the FoKus Apollo is made. The frame of the device is made of anodized aluminum, and the Alcantara headband and replaceable leather ear pads complete the appearance. If necessary, the user can use a detachable microphone, as well as a 3.5 mm jack for wired headphone connection.

Noble Audio products don’t usually come cheap and the FoKus Apollo is no exception. To buy the new product you will have to spend $649, and the first deliveries will begin later this month.
