What’s Kraken! In this video I’m checking out the Noble Audio FoKus Rex5, a set of true wireless “audiophile” earbuds that I’ve been eyeing for a while—especially once they dropped in black. Audio46 hooked me up with a unit so I could put real time on them and give you my honest impressions. I go over the big stuff: price ($449), the wild 5-driver setup (10mm dynamic, 3 BA, and a 6mm planar), Bluetooth 5.4 with LDAC, multipoint, and the whole Audiodo hearing test thing that builds a more personalized EQ. I also cover what you get in the box (a ton of tips, including foam and double flanges), build and comfort, plus one real-world concern: these can be slippery when you’re pulling them out, so you’ve gotta be careful. ANC and transparency are both solid—honestly pretty on-par with sets like Sony and Sennheiser for my use—though it’s not the most “vacuum-seal” ANC I’ve ever heard. The main takeaway is the sound: default tuning is warm, controlled, and never fatiguing, but the midrange is a touch lean until you start using the Noble app EQ. Once you flip on profiles like Pop or Jazz and start tinkering, these things absolutely come alive.
