Most of us are probably familiar with mainstream brands like Sony or Bose when it comes to headphones. There’s nothing wrong with those brands, but for those who have more discerning tastes in audio, Noble Audio has built a reputation on seriously impressive true wireless earbuds. However, most of the company’s earbuds cost $320 or more. But if you’re not looking to break the bank, the company’s new Noble Audio Osprey could be worth checking out.
What the Noble Audio Osprey brings to the table
Starting with the design, Noble Audio always puts thought into how its products look, and the Noble Audio Osprey keeps that going. The earbuds feature a marbled faceplate finish with a compact aluminium charging case. This is a nice change of pace from the usual plastic cases we get from other brands.
The Noble Audio Osprey runs a hybrid dual-driver setup. It comes with a 10mm dynamic driver paired with a custom balanced armature. This is designed to deliver controlled bass, a natural midrange, and clean highs. There is support for LDAC on board, keeping detail and resolution intact on compatible devices.Â
In terms of connectivity, the earbuds feature support for Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint and TrueWireless Mirroring. This helps you switch easily between devices, like from your smartphone to your laptop and vice versa. The earbuds also come with support for ANC and a Hearing Through mode to cover different listening environments. There are also built-in dual microphones with cVc noise reduction to keep calls clear.
Battery life sits at 7 hours with ANC off and 5 with ANC on. Ten minutes of quick charging adds about 2 hours of playback. The accompanying Noble Audio app support handles EQ and firmware updates.
Pricing and Availability
If you’re interested in getting your hands on the Noble Audio Osprey, you might be pleased to learn that they are priced at $199. This is cheaper than a lot of the company’s other offerings.
At $199, it’s a much easier pill to swallow than the $400+ options in the range. The company has long attracted buyers who want audiophile-grade sound without sacrificing build quality, and this looks like a genuine attempt at that. So, if you’re looking for earbuds from a brand with a solid reputation behind them, this could be a relatively affordable place to start.
Pre-orders for the earbuds open June 4 at the company’s website and select retailers. Shipping is expected by the end of the month.
