The QCC3040 inside the Fokus Pro also supports legacy Qualcomm TrueWireless™ Stereo and TrueWireless Mirroring modes, something the previous Falcon models offered. That means less RF interference, fewer dropouts, and a more attractive proposition for gamers who need a low latency performance.Īlso, the new variable bit rate data stream algorithm makes it possible for aptX Adaptive to deliver up to 24BIT/48kHz which is equivalent to aptX-HD rates.
The pitch behind the adaptive version is rather than a fixed single mode it instead adapts to the type of content you are playing to best manage aspects such as audio quality. This is Qualcomm’s latest generation chipset for TWS and is BT5.2 capable with improved compression performance for SBC stretching up to aptX Adaptive decoding capability. The Fokus Pro uses the Falcon Pro’s Qualcomm QCC3040 Bluetooth SoC.

I am going to presume there is some crossover engineering for the drivers though typically Noble does not use electrical type crossovers in their designs. Noble, being Noble, has not released any specific data on the BA drivers inside the Fokus Pro other than that they are Knowles customized balanced armature drivers different to the ones used inside the Falcon Pro.

However, this time the dynamic driver size has been increased from 6mm to an 8.2mm customized version. The triple driver hybrid driver configuration remains the same as the Falcon Pro with a single dynamic driver for the lows and mids and a dual BA for the mid-highs and highs. If anything, given the $20 price gap one might argue that the Fokus Pro might be providing the better value between it and the Falcon Pro.
In the case of the new Fokus Pro from Noble, the focus seems very much on how close one can get to the traditional wired IEM experience sans wires.Īspects such as driver configuration, shell shape, and performance have all moved forward since the original Falcon we reviewed 18 months and even the Falcon Pro launched earlier this year.
The focus does vary in terms of specific features such as LDAC from HiBy, ANC from Sony. Some of those names include Sennheiser, Geekfly, Sony, HiBy, and Noble Audio. There have been a few known audiophile brands that have taken TWS or True Wireless Systems quite seriously rather than launch a ‘me too’ product to cash in.
