The final time I used a set of Noble Audio earbuds, the firm managed to pack five drivers into the tiny housings. Now it’s again with a brand new mannequin, the FoKus Status Encore, and regardless of solely having 4 drivers this time, the firm nonetheless took loads of cues from its line of pro-grade in-ear screens (IEMs). The most important draw back is that this new set is nonetheless a lot expensive, hitting your pockets for $699.
Inside, the FoKus Prestige Encore has one 8mm dynamic driver, two balanced armature drivers and one 6mm planar magnetic driver. In accordance to Noble, every of those elements have totally different duties. The dynamic drivers deal with bass whereas the midrange goes to the Knowles balanced armature drivers. Lastly, the planar magnetic driver is tasked with the treble to “reveal microdetail.” The corporate says it additionally designed new “triple-vented” nozzles to make airflow environment friendly and the seal constant.

Moderately than utilizing plastic or another reasonably priced materials, Noble opted for strong wooden for each the earbud housings and the charging case.

What’s extra, Noble decreased the total dimension of the buds, which it says presents “a safe, fatigue-free match.”
