Fokus Prestige Encore
"Sound ok doesn't fit my ears well gave to wife she loves them"
Meet Noble FoKus Prestige Encore — premium true wireless earbuds combining a three-way hybrid driver system, solid-wood construction, Audiodo personalization, and Bluetooth 5.4.
FoKus Prestige Encore builds on the original FoKus Prestige with a more ambitious acoustic system, updated wireless capabilities, and Audiodo personalization. Noble combines dynamic, balanced armature, and planar magnetic drivers in each earbud while retaining the solid-wood construction that gives the Prestige family such a distinctive identity.
The materials matter here as much as the feature list. Both the earbuds and charging case are CNC-machined from solid wood rather than simply receiving decorative wooden faceplates, and each set has its own natural grain.
For listeners who want premium materials and a sound-first multi-driver design without giving up ANC, modern Bluetooth codecs, multipoint, wireless charging, and everyday portability, Prestige Encore is one of Noble's most distinctive true wireless designs.
FoKus Prestige Encore uses three different transducer technologies in each earbud: an 8mm dynamic driver for bass, dual Knowles balanced armatures for the midrange, and a newly designed 6mm planar magnetic driver for the upper frequencies.
Noble describes the planar driver as extending treble air, increasing transient speed, and revealing finer detail, while the dynamic driver provides low-frequency authority and the balanced armatures handle midrange clarity and texture.
A newly designed triple-vented metal nozzle helps stabilize airflow and improve seal consistency. Noble says the combined acoustic changes improve soundstage width, imaging accuracy, transient response, and timbral realism.
FoKus Prestige Encore integrates Audiodo Personal Sound with individualized calibration for each ear. After the initial hearing test, personalized frequency adjustments are stored directly on the earbuds.
That means your personalization remains with Prestige Encore when you change devices without requiring the Noble app to remain active once setup is complete.
The Noble companion app also provides custom EQ adjustment, touch-control remapping, over-the-air firmware updates, and a multilingual interface.
Prestige Encore uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon S3 Gen 1 Sound Platform with Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint pairing, TrueWireless Mirroring, and support for aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, LDAC, AAC, and SBC. Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling and HearThrough Mode provide environmental control, while dual microphones with cVc noise suppression support calls and conferencing.
Playback is rated at up to 10 hours with ANC off or 7 hours with ANC on, with up to 35 hours total including the charging case. The case supports both USB-C and Qi wireless charging, and a 10-minute quick charge provides around two hours of listening.
The Prestige Encore earbuds and charging case are CNC-machined entirely from solid wood, rather than using wood only as a decorative faceplate. Natural variations in grain mean no two sets look exactly alike.
Noble also revised the geometry to make Prestige Encore smaller and lighter than its predecessor, with the goal of improving fit and reducing fatigue during longer listening sessions.

"Sound ok doesn't fit my ears well gave to wife she loves them"
"First, I just wanted to mention the phenomenal service from HeadAmp. Less than 10 minutes after I ordered, the shipping label had already been generated, and only a couple of hours later was dropped off with the shipper. It was one of the fastest orders I've placed from actually ordering to shipping. As for the product, I had a fairly basic set of TWS earbuds before that were starting to have issues, so I wanted something that was a significant step up. These are so much better in every way, from their sound performance, comfort, and physical build quality. I absolutely do not regret my purchase, and would definitely buy from Noble and HeadAmp again."
"Noble really knocked it out of the park with the Prestige Encore. The level of balance and detail is phenomenal. On par with several of my mid-upper tier IEMs. These are the sophistication and refinement to the Rex5's dynamism and fun. Less V shaped, though the bass is in my opinion better in quality. Highly customizable with the in-app EQ features but they sound so good out of the box I haven't felt the need to adjust them. Personalized audio via audiodo works much the same way as the Rex5 (very well). Noise cancelling is very good. I find them comfortable and beautiful (they are fingerprint magnets but who looking that closely at your ears). All in all an incredible set well worth the price of admission."
"Once set up and tweaked to your liking they are as good as TWS gets. My Denon Perl Pro have more volume but are the sound quality of these are slightly better. Once I learned how to turn volume limiter off on my phone these are now loud as you need them to be."
"Been using Apple AirPods these are a major step up in tone. Great death balance, good detail. Headamp did an amazing job shipping quickly. Highly recommend both the Encore EIM and HeadAmp amp both stellar"
"From the way the packed the product, you can really tell this is a company that is really enthusiastic about their products. They are excited for you to have it. This earbuds sound absolutely amazing"
"Good quality just not as loud"
"It's not perfect. Pros: beautiful and high quality styling and craftsmanship for both buds and case, great sound quality before you play with the equalizer on the app, insane sound quality after- very rich bass, clear vocals, clean midrange, and the buds can get loud without distortion, naturally are very noise isolating - even with anc turned off, includes fabric pouch to store them to prevent scratches and to protect them. Cons: for my set, I've been having Bluetooth and random connection issues while using them, or taking them out of the charging case to connect to my phone. I once put them in the case to charge. The case had 3 bars of battery left and the lid was closed. I check on em an hr later, and both the buds and the case are completely dead. I don't know what happened for the buds to not turn off and for battery drain to happen. It only happened once as of this posting, but disappointing considering the high price. The microphones are garbage. I used to own galaxy buds 3, and the mics on those were much better. When I'm calling ppl, they complain that they can't hear me or how I sound very muffled. Is it nitpicking? If these were cheaper, nah. But again, for the price, details like this become too serious to ignore. The battery life is average. 4-5 hrs. I'm a truck driver, and that's not good for me. Overall, the sound quality and quality of the product alone makes it worth the high price. But the other factors are to be heed. Again especially since these will run for $700. If sound quality is not your main focus, and you need good battery, long stable connection, and good call quality, stay away from these. If you're looking for build quality, and sound quality, add these to your cart"
"I am all about the sound. Don't care about anc or anything else. These sound INCREDIBLE"
"Unboxing, the case is larger as to be expected with larger housing and also beautiful in the blue version. Then the devices themselves. . . beautiful. Pictures don't do them justice. The sound is obviously what matters, however, I certainly appreciate art when I see it and these are special. But sound is the important metric so. . . Netting it out, these are detailed and spacious without being harsh at loud volumes. They get plenty loud for me, though I do find myself at the highest of one notch below the highest volume often, so bear that in mind. Bass feels well integrated. These are not tuned to impress the average listener with exaggerated lows. I find them musical and accurate. If you want more there is a 10 band EQ that you can personalize or choose from a selection of presets. The hearing test is interesting and definitely made a custom curve for each ear, though for me, I found the highs a bit too sibilant after the curve was applied and prefer the normal/default curve. For music references: Beck - Heart is a Drum - if you are familiar with this track, it is brilliantly engineered and mixed to create a surround sound experience from two channels. These did a good job of largely disappearing and creating sound around me and not trapped inside my skull. Radiohead - Everything in its Right Place - similarly wide sound stage and impressive representation of the synth vs actual bass. AC/DC - Back in Black - good energy from the guitars and Mutt Lang's mix brings strong tight energy to kicks and snare with Brian Johnson's vocals clear and distinct and placed just barely behind the snare, one of the distinctive traits that gives this track its powerful feel. That gives you rock, synth, and acoustic. Its handled others just as well. One note, if you are a bass head and/or listening for bass that digs, these may disappoint. For me. . . well, I had to talk myself into taking them out around midnight so I could sleep, so. . . ."
