Press Release
Noble delivers its Encore performance with the Fokus Prestige Encore
Planar precision, greater stamina, refined ergonomics, and smarter personalisation define Noble’s most accomplished true wireless yet
6th November 2025: Noble Audio is proud to announce the launch of the Fokus Prestige Encore, the latest model in its acclaimed FoKus line. Representing a careful evolution rather than reinvention, the Encore delivers more detail, more endurance, and more comfort while preserving the spirited character that made the original Prestige a favourite among serious listeners.
For over a decade, Noble Audio has carved out its reputation at the high-end of in-ear design, with universal and custom IEMs trusted by musicians and audiophiles alike. The Fokus Prestige Encore continues this tradition in a true wireless form factor, bridging Noble’s meticulous acoustic design with the flexibility today’s listeners demand.
Available from 6th November 2025 for $699 / £649 / €799 at nobleaudio.com and selected retailers worldwide
Longer listening, more comfort
The Fokus Prestige Encore improves endurance with 65mAh cells in each bud and a 500mAh wireless charging case, offering up to 10 hours of playback (ANC off) or 7 hours (ANC on), with a total of 35 hours including the case. A 10-minute quick charge provides around 2 hours of listening, keeping users moving with minimal downtime.
The housings and charging case are CNC-machined entirely from solid wood, not just a decorative plate, but full wooden construction. Each piece displays its own natural wood grain, ensuring that no two Encores look exactly the same. Combined with a smaller, lighter geometry, this makes for a premium finish and a secure, fatigue-free fit during long sessions.
Smarter sound, tailored to the listener
Building on Noble’s integration of Audiodo Personal Sound in the Rex5 and Amadeus, the Encore offers refined per-ear calibration with on-device profile storage. After a one-time test, personalised frequency adjustments are written into the IEMs themselves, meaning your profile follows you across all devices — no app dependency once it’s set.
The Noble companion app further extends control with:
- Custom EQ adjustments
- Touch control remapping
- OTA firmware updates
- Multi-language support
Together, these features ensure the Fokus Prestige Encore remains both adaptable and future-proof.
