Noble Apollo Overhead Full-Size Headphones
(Official product name: Noble FoKus Apollo)
Hear more of your music, not more of your headphones
Slip into the Apollo and the noise of the world falls away, replaced by a vivid, lifelike soundstage with bass you feel, mids that breathe, and treble that shimmers without glare. Whether you’re mastering playlists, working in open offices, commuting, or gaming after hours, Apollo delivers the rare combination of wireless freedom, reference-grade fidelity, and long-haul comfort—without the usual compromises.
Why Audiophiles Choose This Product
- • Sound you can trust: A unique hybrid driver array pairs a 40 mm dynamic driver with a 14.5 mm planar magnetic driver in each earcup—bringing authoritative, piston-like bass from the dynamic, and planar-grade clarity and speed through the mids and highs. It’s a patented, first-of-its-kind configuration in full-size headphones.
- • Engineered for performance: Qualcomm QCC3084 Bluetooth platform, Bluetooth 5.3, and support for hi‑res codecs (LDAC) alongside AAC, aptX, and aptX HD keep the signal path clean and reliable. Hybrid ANC uses three mics per side with an ADI processing chip for up to −35 dB of reduction.
- • Practical, real‑world usability: 80 hours of playtime (ANC off) or 60 hours (ANC on) means week‑long listening on a single charge. Physical controls, a hardware mic‑mute switch, and a detachable boom mic make calls and collaboration effortless.
- • Comfortable by design: An anodized aluminum frame keeps things solid; memory‑foam, replaceable protein‑leather earpads and an Alcantara headband deliver day‑long comfort. Weight is a travel‑friendly 327 g.
- • Broad compatibility: Multipoint pairing, transparency mode, the Noble FoKus app for personalization/EQ, plus a wired 3.5 mm option when you want to go analog.
- • What sets it apart: Apollo is Noble’s first over‑ear headphone and the first to merge planar and dynamic drivers in a wireless, ANC full‑size design—bringing IEM‑maker precision to a category long dominated by single‑driver approaches.

What it sounds like
Expect a spacious, “open for closed‑back” presentation with punchy, well‑extended bass, smooth and expressive mids, and treble that offers clarity and sparkle without harshness—exactly the synergy Noble set out to achieve with the hybrid array. Fine‑tune with the FoKus app’s EQ to taste, or run it flat for a clean, resolving listen.
Real‑world notes from the community
Early owners reported occasional app pairing quirks, codec recognition hiccups, and a few comfort “hotspot” comments at the headband—most of which were addressed or improved via firmware updates and fit adjustments; as with any new platform, experiences can vary.
A minority also noted intermittent beeps/clicks with ANC or isolated QC issues; if you encounter them, Noble and retailers have been responsive with exchanges and updates.
The Bottom Line
Noble’s Apollo brings serious hi‑fi intent to wireless, combining an industry‑first hybrid driver system with long battery life, meaningful accessories, and a comfort‑forward build. If you’ve been waiting for an over‑ear that feels purpose‑built for listening—not just travel—Apollo earns a spot at the top of your shortlist.
