Noble Audio Noble Audio likes to do things differently. With its Fo Kus Apollo headphones, the company combined the typical dynamic drivers with planar magnetic drivers for a hybrid audio setup. For its latest trick, Noble added a third driver to the mix. Inside the upcoming Fo Kus Artemis, the company is using dynamic and planar magnetic components once again, but it combined those with a balance armature driver.
Like the hybrid sound platform in the FoKus Apollo, each type of driver inside the FoKus Artemis serves a different purpose. The dynamic driver that's common in headphones does the bulk of the heavy lifting and provides the bass. The planar magnetic driver gives the sound profile more openness and detail. And the balance armature driver enhances overall clarity. Noble Audio is mostly known for its in-ear monitors, but the company has also demonstrated the ability to build excellent-sounding earbuds and headphones.
