Thanks for the review. I have several high end TWE from B&O, tried and returned both B&W Pi7 v1&2 (too much bass masking treble details) along with the useful Apple AirPod Pro v2 - a very good all rounder for the office. These Noble Fokus Mystique are as perfect a TWE I have ever listened to. I can hardly believe my ears. I only have to listen at between 30-50% volume on my DAP. Who needs Noise Cancelling when the seal on the double flange eartips are so good. The ambience setting is useful to make sure important sounds aren’t missed, like the wife needing something 😂. I just need to listen to all my music again now. I’m into jazz, some classical and a bit of pop and these just sound wonderful with punchy lows and detailed highs all wrapped up in just the right amount of warmth. The Wizzard got this one just right for me. Thanks again for the review as I never knew these even existed.
If sound is not much different from the Fokus Pro, no need to upgrade. If it had Snapdragon Sound or Aptx Lossless, would have definitely been sold on it
If you do an A/B comparison you will immediately notice the increased clarity from the Mystique (which I frequently rotate between when one TWS needs to be charged). It also has a functional mic unlike the OG FoKus Pro for calls but it does look uglier aesthetically IMO.
I'm a falcon pro owner and would like to warn you that Noble does not support their apps (the one for falcon pro does not even open in my pixel 6pro). Anyone looking tp buy a TWE for more than 1 yeat then you really should reconsider.
I bought these headphones. Well, if we talk very seriously about the sound, then these are pop headphones. Created for young people and lovers of modern styles with lots of bass. Metal plays well too. The bass here is not very booming (at first glance). Let's assume that these are adult bassheads. For acoustic recordings and classical music there are not enough high frequencies and mids. The sound lacks dynamics for these styles. But this is already a limitation of the technology itself. And you need to understand that any wired headphones, even cheaper ones, will simply break these TWS. You need to understand that this is Bluetooth technology. Which is still imperfect and cannot reproduce hifi sound. But these headphones come close to that sound. You may or may not like their sound. One or the other. But there is definitely more treble and bass quality in the sound than, for example, the Sennheiser tws 2. I listened to them. The noble sound is warm, pleasant, not harsh. It seems to me that they are still a little expensive for such a sound. Considering the quality of the program and the quality of control of these headphones. But if you have money and you like club music, rock, metal - in general, a mixture of these styles in modern genres, then you will like the sound. Everything else plays without fanaticism.
Thanx for comparison. I guess mystique can be said to have better design than its pro then. And I personally speculate the brand Noble literally looks nobler than other brands. That might be another merit to be taken into account for expensive price.
I heard both. If you have to compare it with Pi7 I can tell yes it's upgrade. But if it was pi7 s2, then I'd recommend not to rebuy. Cuz the gap doesn't really overcome its price.
I sent my Pi7 version 2 back As the details in highs were obscured by the overbearing bass. It wasn’t until I AB’d them with the B&O EX that I realised how much was missing. Just glad I could return them to Amazon tbh. It was only after that I saw this reviewed on RUclips- I had never heard of Noble. No regrets these Mystique are on a whole different level. Seriously.
Do you mean in terms of connectivity? I have heard that the sound quality is less on iPhones due to Apple not having aptx but I can’t compare (I only have an iPhone and MacBook). In terms on connectivity, it’s by far the worst compared to sonys and sennheisers I have owned in the past, but they basically never had dropouts. Unfortunately however, the Sennheiser TW3 would dropout a lot from time to time (for example, in my ebike parking lot where the charging system is wireless so it interferes with the signal a lot). Anyway….. the fokus do drop out occasionally but it’s only for a split second. I can live with that for the huge difference in sound.
Hi , I am just trying to decide between Mystique and Hifiman Svanar tws, but Iam thinking to get the new little Sony DAP, which I would use mainly outside and there is also LDAC , so I will have to get Spotify or something …😁💁♂️👍🤘
@@jaroslavfricek7772 Sounds awesome! Can’t speak for the Hifiman but the nobles blew me away (although I am coming from the Sennheiser tw3, I have never owned proper IEMs)
I am one that would pay few hundred bucks for a good quality wireless earbuds. But what I'm starting to figure out is Samsung buds 2 pro is actually better than the audiophile ones. Sad but true
What 'audiophile ones' are you referring to? That's absolutely not my experience. Any reputable, well tuned iem over $60 kinda destroys the sound quality of galaxy buds. Not that they're bad, they just can't compete with wires.

I own Falcon Pro also - app works perfectly for me.

Hi, some reviews said it works noticeably worse with Iphone then Android. Do you have that experience❓Thanks 🙋♂️

Seems like a nice guy, but his reviews are painful to watch- he’s very mono toned and just needs to get to the point
what is that mess sticking out of the top of your head man ? silly looking....
