Before I start talking about anything else when it comes to the Noble Fokus Rex5, I think it’s important to talk about the price. Go on, sit down and relax — because you might faint. The Rex5 are some of the most expensive wireless earbuds that I’ve ever tested at $449. That’s more than the WH-1000XM5, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, and only $100 less than the AirPods Max — and those are all over ears, rather than something akin to the best noise canceling earbuds.
So the Fokus Rex5 aren’t for the faint of heart — but you get the finest pair of earbuds that you’ll ever put in your ears. They sound amazing, have a finish like the dashboard in a custom supercar, and pack in a rap sheet of features that would see even the most hardened headphone user raise an eyebrow. So yes, they are more expensive than any other pair of wireless earbuds (beyond the weird designer ones that focus on looks over performance), but let’s find out why they are more than worth their lofty price tag.
