Bloom's Take When we first got our hands on the original FoKus Pro, it immediately earned the title of "best sounding TWS IEM we’d ever heard" at Bloom. However, it was not without challenges given its lackluster features, call quality, and connectivity woes. The FoKus Mystique is Noble's answer to the upgrade challenge for the FoKus Pro with the goal to improve the features you demand while retaining its stellar sound quality. In our opinion, Noble has succeeded with the Mystique, leaving the physical design, tuning, and renowned audiophile sound quality of the FoKus Pro untouched while focusing on improvements where lacking, specifically in call quality and clarity along with Bluetooth connectivity improvements. We do feel the Mystique is still catching up in terms of feature offerings, but it’s a huge step forward compared to the last generation, and the Mystique still remains the best sounding TWS IEM that we’ve ever heard. Period. Check out our full review here! Not sure which TWS is the right fit for you? Check out our 2023 TWS True Wireless Shootout! |
NEW from "the Wizard"
About a year has passed since the release of Noble's FoKus PRO, the leader in the high-end TWS earphone market. This January 2023, Noble will release the FoKus Mystique, the orthodox evolution model of FoKus PRO. Sired by the legendary FoKus Pro and designed for true audiophiles that want something versatile, The FoKus Mystique features a hybrid 3-driver configuration with an 8.2mm dynamic driver and (x2) Knowles balanced armature drivers.
Mr. "Wizard" John Moulton has performed new tuning, and not only has it evolved further in terms of sound quality, but the microphone has also been adjusted and repositioned, greatly improving call quality. Hear-through (ambient mode) has also been added to bolster its usability and practicality along with improvements on the bass tuning.
The Details
The FoKus Pro utilizes the Qualcomm SoC QCC3040 chip and Bluetooth 5.2. It supports SBC, ACC, APTX, and APTX adaptive codecs.
The ergonomic "Deep Galaxy" shell is 3D printed with a semi-custom low profile shape, a designer faceplate, and an embedded touch sensor.
Battery life is an expected 7.5 hours at 50% volume. The designer metal charging case also boasts a 500mah battery which delivers 4 extra charges.
The FREE "Noble FoKus" app can be found on Google Play and Apple's App store, and features a 10-band& EQ with custom presets. The equalizer feature also includes a hearing test function that will personalize your EQ settings based on the results of the hearing test.
** Note: the Noble FoKus Mystique is a premium headphone. It will handle the occasional workout, but it is not recommended that the Mystique be submerged in water or worn in the shower or in rain.
