Benefits of the Apollo's dual speaker arrangement:
Since a planar magnetic speaker's diaphragm is extremely thin, lighter even than the air it moves, planar magnetic speakers are known for their delicacy and accuracy, without the blurring effects of excessive inertia. The drawback to such speakers however is that they lack the ability to move sufficient air mass to produce the quality of bass that most listeners prefer. Dynamic drivers provide excellent bass by moving significant amounts of air, but due to their mass, dynamic drivers cannot provide the crystal clear mid and high frequencies that planar magnetic speakers are capable of. By utilizing both a dynamic speaker and a planar magnetic speaker the Noble FoKus Apollo provides the clarity of a planar magnetic driver, while retaining the bass of a dynamic driver.
What is Hybrid ANC?
Hybrid ANC is a type of active noise cancellation that uses microphones on both the inside and outside of the headphone to cancel out ambient noise. It combines the advantages of feedforward and feedback ANC, allowing for faster noise pickup and more precise cancellation.
