Noble Audio’s latest release, the FoKus Prestige, presents a refined evolution of their popular Mystique series while staying true to the brand’s heritage of breathtaking design and elite sound engineering. Known for their master craftsmanship, Noble redefines the True Wireless Stereo (TWS) space with a product that seamlessly merges luxury aesthetics and cutting-edge technology.
At its core, the Prestige boasts a meticulous hybrid driver configuration: one dynamic 8.2mm driver for powerful lows and two balanced armature drivers from Knowles Electronics for immaculate midrange and treble response. This trio of drivers is powered by Qualcomm’s QCC3040 processor, supporting high-quality streaming via Bluetooth 5.2 with SBC, AAC, aptX, and aptX Adaptive codecs. The result? A nuanced and balanced sound signature that rivals even higher-end wired models.
Reliability and efficiency take center stage thanks to Qualcomm True Wireless Mirroring, which ensures a stable connection by splitting tasks across the earbuds. This not only minimizes interruptions but enhances energy efficiency. For call clarity, Qualcomm’s cVc technology handles background noise, ensuring crystal-clear voice communication. While Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is absent, the absence feels deliberate, aiming to preserve the audio purity audiophiles demand. A diverse selection of ear tips offers excellent passive isolation, and a transparency mode is available for moments when environmental awareness is needed.
What truly sets the Prestige apart is the artistry behind its construction. The earbuds feature precision CNC-machined wooden enclosures with lacquered finishes that exude luxury. The accompanying case mirrors this sophistication, making it a standout feature – a testament to Noble’s commitment to both auditory and visual elegance.
Battery performance sees a notable improvement in the Prestige model. The earphones now deliver up to 10 hours of listening time at half volume, with an additional two full charges provided by the case. A faster-charging mechanism allows for a quick 15-minute top-up, offering up to 70 minutes of playback. Combined with ergonomic design and responsive touch controls, the Prestige is both functional and aesthetically remarkable.
When it comes to sound, the Prestige’s signature is expansive and multidimensional. Its wide-stage imaging and precise localization bring out the finest nuances in any track. Basslines are full-bodied yet controlled, mids remain clear and expressive, and highs are polished without any harshness. For those seeking tailored customization, the Noble FoKus mobile app includes a 10-band EQ and personalized sound adjustments, ensuring every listening preference is catered to.
The FoKus Prestige encapsulates what Noble does best: creating a product that is as much a piece of art as it is an engineering marvel – ideal for those who demand performance and beauty in equal measure.
