High-end headphone and earbud brand Noble has announced two new products this week. The second launch builds on the dynamic and planar driver approach of the FoKus Apollo. The new FoKus Artemis drops balanced armature precision into the mix with Noble Audio’s most ambitious pair of wireless headphones to date.
The design of the FoKus Artemis headphones is based on the foundations laid by the brand’s award-winning FoKus Apollo, the world’s first pair of wireless headphones to combine dynamic and planar magnetic driver technologies. Now, the Artemis takes the hybrid approach a step further by adding a balanced armature driver into the mix. The three-driver design offers impact, precision and speed in a single pair of headphones.
The result of this triple-driver technology is a flagship pair of wireless headphones that blend style, high-end performance and usability in a single device. These are headphones aimed at listeners who want scale and total immersion from a full-sized pair of headphones, but with the flexibility of wireless listening and the refinement found in corded headphones.

Final Preview Version
Visitors to High End Vienna 2026, which takes place from June 4 – 7, 2026, will be able to experience a near-final preview version of the Artemis. The headphone’s physical design is close to being finalized with just tuning, app integration and a few features remaining to be implemented.
Noble Audio is a brand that focuses on high-performance IEMs and headphones with distinctive designs and a “sound-first” approach. Noble Audio says it challenges the expectations of what wireless headphones can deliver by combining dynamic and planar magnetic driver technologies in a pair of Bluetooth headphones. The Artemis build on that breakthrough with the addition of a balanced armature driver in each earpiece.
With its three-driver technology, the Artemis has a clear niche in Noble Audio’s range. The company says the new headphones aren’t simply a more premium type of wireless headphone because the three different types of driver have been selected to play a specific role.
Each ear cup of the FoKus Artemis headphones contains a dynamic driver, magnetic planar transducer and a balanced armature unit.

Clarity and Focus
The dynamic driver brings body, weight and bass to the overall mix, while the balanced armature driver brings clarity, focus and articulation at the top end of the music. The planar driver adds an element of speed, openness and extended detail to present a balanced soundscape that the company says is “powerful, spacious and refined.”
The FoKus Artemis headphones have been developed with Audiodo Personal Sound and Audiosphere technology. This gives the listener the ability to create a personalized sound profile tailored to their unique and individual hearing.
Users take a guided hearing assessment, then Audiodo Personal Sound creates a profile that Artemis can use to adjust playback based on how the user hears. Rather than relying on standard EQ presets, Audiodo’s technology creates a more individual listening experience for the listener to hear more detail, balance and clarity.
