TechRadar reviewer Harry Padoan describes the Noble Audio FoKus Artemis as a premium pair of wireless headphones with exceptionally immersive sound. The review credits their triple-driver design—dynamic, balanced armature and planar drivers—with powerful bass, detailed mids and precise highs. It also praises the headphones’ spacious soundstage and support for aptX Lossless, LDAC and USB-C audio.
The review highlights personalized equalization (EQ) as a standout feature. Developed with Audiodo, it uses a hearing test to tailor sound, including for users with hearing loss. The headphones also offer parametric EQ, presets, a companion app, wear detection and multi-point connectivity.
Padoan found the active noise cancellation (ANC) relatively effective but not class-leading, and said the loose fit lets some outside sound in. He also found the spatial audio modes underwhelming. The seven-microphone array delivered strong call quality, according to the review. Battery life is rated at up to 55 hours, or 35 hours with ANC on; the battery is replaceable.
The headphones cost $899, £799 or about AU$1,200. The review says the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 is $100 and £170 cheaper, at $799, £629 and AU$1,299. Noble Audio FoKus Artemis shipping began in August 2026; Padoan tried them in June at High End Vienna 2026.
