These headphones became available on September 3. Each earcup houses a 40mm dynamic driver, a common feature in high-quality wireless headphones. However, Noble has taken innovation further by incorporating a 14.5mm planar magnetic driver, making the Fokus Apollo the first headphone model to merge these two technologies. To enhance the listening experience, Noble has equipped the Fokus Apollo with advanced [noise-canceling and transparency modes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dali-io12-headphones), managed by three dedicated microphones on each side. For voice calls, users can rely on the built-in microphones or attach the included boom mic for enhanced clarity, making these headphones versatile for both music and communication. A USB-C to 3.5mm cable is also included for those who prefer an analog connection. Noble claims these headphones can deliver up to 60 hours of listening time with [active noise cancelation (ANC)](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jlab-go-lux) enabled and an extraordinary 80 hours when ANC is turned off.
