View the noble Fokus Rex5: Incredible Sound if you are ready to pay for it

Rate this post


$ 449 is a lot to pay for a headset. When taking into account the quality of the options of $ 100 and below, it may look excessive. However, Noble Audio has not made another set of high -end wireless headsets. The company offers unique to Focus rex5: Five drivers. Most headsets have one or two, but Noble has put its experience in the ear monitor (IEM) to work here, wrapping a 10mm dynamic driver, a 6mm plain driver and three balanced drivers of the reinforcement.

The result is an absolutely incredible sound quality for a set of wireless headsets. The wide, immersive sound scene exceeds any other set I have tested and tested very much Of them. However, Audio Performance does not make a full product itself. There is still battery life, active noise cancellation (ANC), customization and other features for which Noble it is struggling with. And the company must check all the fields to justify this price.

Ears fokus rex5 are very much Green. From the case of charging to aluminum and acrylic dwelling, the company is dedicated to this shade of this model. His gold accents will not be for everyone. The styling is similar to a set of IEM, which Noble also makes in the peak. If you are looking for other colors from the company, Pricier Fokus Prestige ($ 599) will be available in black and blue when they return to stock.

In addition to the color scheme and the marble acrylic sheath, the Fokus Rex5 looks like standard headsets – at least in terms of shape. The rounded, triangular frame imitates a set of birth monitors in the ear and fits well into the ear. The weight is also well balanced, with nothing sticking too far from your head. All this leads to a safe, comfortable fit that never becomes a burden, even after hours of constant use. In addition, Noble includes nine sets of additional ear tips in three shapes in the box. One of them is a foam instead of silicone, if you are in this and the variety of the package should help you find perfectly suitable for your ears.

All Fokus Rex5 settings and features reside in the Noble Fokus app. Here you will find battery rates for each headset, quick access to personalized EQ, media controls and noise -hooks switch to the front. On the right, the expanding menu offers a 10-band EQ, EQ curve, custom EQ and touch control settings.

Noble has chosen Audiodo’s personalized sound software to power its personal EQ. Like part of the competition, this technique translates you through a process of setting to calibrate your audio to your hearing. The Fokus Rex5 has a Qualcomm QCC3091 chip inside that stores these personalized headphones. This means that the audio saturation remains with you on any device you pair on without having to download the app repeatedly. Noble says that personal EQ works well for people with uneven hearing, offering a balanced sound at the corresponding levels.

For me, the test has determined that I need a boost in the high -frequency range, which increases the volume for vocals and guitars. I don’t like it. The stock setting is a better mixture of all the tools and I prefer the balance of this mix. This does not mean that the feature will not help you, but simply means that you may want to save the default settings rather than select EQ personally.

The Fokus Rex5 is equipped with a multi -point Bluetooth connectivity, which adds convenience to daily use. The rumors switched seamlessly between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone when I called or started playing audio there. What you won’t find on Rex5 is an automatic pause as the headphones have no proximity or a backup sensor on the back. The company may need every millimeter for all these drivers, but this is a convenient feature that would be great to have.

If you can handle green and gold, there is incredible sound inside the Fokus Rex5.

It’s amazing how much Nuance Five Drivers will allow you to hear when you listen to music. Noble says his driver’s massif “effortlessly delivers a rich, full bass, detailed medium tones and crystal clear high” and I found that this was true in a number of genres. When most headphones have a frequency range of 20Hz-20kHz, which is in accordance with the capabilities of the human ear, the Fokus Rex5 expands slightly to 20Hz-40kHz. Am I confident that I can hear this extra high frequency? No. Does this affect my sound quality assessment? Not at all.

I am well aware that artists, producers and recording engineers make decisions on how to separate the tools on the left and right channels. But for the first time, I clearly heard the separation in the guitars of songs like “I can see it now …” and in the whole whole of Jason Ilbel, the most album of 400 units live. There is a sound division of those headsets that are more segmented, but everything is still well combined for a great immersive feeling. It is as if you are standing in the middle of the studio. You can hear that the lead guitar is located on the right while the rhythm player is on the left. Many headsets will break them together.

There are also minutes of details in guitars, drums, vocals and others with Fokus Rex5. You can inside The acoustic guitar of this song. There are a number of leading quality headsets that deliver well details, but I have never heard the level of subtlety that the Fokus Rex5 provides song after song. And the headphones do it with a sturdy sound scene, which once again surrounds you that you are in the middle of performance, not just streaming tunes.

Noble offers support for APTX Adaptive and Sony’s LDAC codes of Fokus Rex5, in addition to SBC and AAC. I tested mainly with Apple Music, including many losses albums or Dolby Atmos. All the songs of the service sounded amazing with these headsets, although the crispy, layered guitars of this LS Dunes Record sounded particularly stunning (this album was Dolby Atmos, without loss and Apple Digital Master).

The wireless charging case has a Bluetooth pairing button on the inside.

Noble does not go into too many details about the Fokus Rex5 AnC setup, in addition to saying the “sophisticated” technology “effectively minimizes external noise”. Unfortunately, this efficiency is just average. Rumors of seals only subside constant sources of noise such as fans and noise machines. And while they slightly reduce the volume of human voices nearby, they suffer from the same ineffectiveness as much of the competition there. To put it, you do not buy the Fokus Rex5 for Anc Performance, this is the quality of the sound, which is the main draw. But I would say you should have both if you spend $ 449.

The quality of conversations is another area that a nobleman can improve. The Fokus Rex5 is usable for calls, but audio performance is medium in the best case. If you are looking for something to use for virtual meetings or any situation where you need to sound crystal clear, these headsets are not a great option. Moreover, the atmospheric regime does not drive your voice back through the buds when calling. I kept feeling as if I was just crying to hear during these chats.

Noble promises up to five hours of listening to anc at or up to seven hours without. Moreover, the company packs an additional 35-40 hours of use in the case of wireless charging, which is longer than most of the competition can collect. There is a 15-minute fast loading feature that will give you two hours of use.

During my tests, Fokus Rex5 easily met the requested figures and even exceeded them by about 30 minutes. Five hours of noise noise is standard these days, but it is nice to see that the noble has been delivered on this issue, even with additional drivers and codecs.

In terms of sound quality, only Pi8 on Bowers & Wilkins is approaching the virgin audio performance of Fokus Rex5. Unfortunately, these headsets also do not offer a full package. And at $ 399, they are still a bigger investment than the likes of Bose, Sony and Sennheiser. You will get an excellent sound on the PI8, although the level of detail and separation are not at the level of five-shofuses Rex5. The performance of ANC is a little better, but it is still not healthy and lacks modern features offered by much of the competition of products that cost less.
