Noble Audio launches Astrid: three drivers and a personal touch

The new true wireless earphone brings together three driver technologies, Audiodo Personal Sound and Audiodo Equalizer, finished in an intricate black-and-silver design.

Three driver technologies: An 8.3mm dynamic driver, 6mm planar driver and balanced armature in each earpiece.

Sound made personal: Audiodo Personal Sound adapts playback to your hearing, while Audiodo Equalizer lets you adjust the sound to your taste.

A matching pair: The glass fiber earbud faceplates feature an intricate silver toned pattern that is echoed on the charging case, complementing the glossy back finish of both.

Long listening: Up to 11 hours per charge and up to 40 hours including the case, depending on settings, with USB-C and wireless charging.

10th November 2026: Noble Audio launches Astrid, the latest addition to its award-winning true wireless family.

There’s plenty of Noble Audio character here, from the three-driver hybrid design to the patterned earbuds and matching charging case. Audiodo Personal Sound and Audiodo Equalizer are on board too, giving listeners sound adapted to their hearing and the freedom to adjust it to their taste.

Astrid sits between Rex5 and Prestige Encore II in the range. For listeners drawn to Noble Audio’s hybrid earphones who also enjoy fine-tuning their sound, Astrid brings three different driver technologies together with hearing personalisation and adjustable EQ. Its black-and-silver finish completes the package, giving the earbuds and case a look of their own.

Three drivers, plenty of Noble Audio experience

Hybrid earphones are familiar territory for Noble Audio. Its universal and custom in-ear monitors have long explored different driver combinations, and Astrid brings that experience to a new wireless design.

Each earpiece contains an 8.3mm dynamic driver, a 6mm planar driver and a balanced armature. The dynamic driver uses a PU diaphragm with an aluminium-magnesium alloy dome, working alongside the other two driver technologies as part of Astrid’s hybrid system.

For listeners with a compatible phone or player, LDAC and aptX Adaptive support provide high-quality wireless playback. Astrid also supports aptX, AAC and SBC.

Your ears have a say

Astrid can be set up around your hearing with Audiodo Personal Sound. A short assessment checks each ear separately and creates a personal hearing profile, which is then used to adjust playback.

This takes account of differences between your left and right ears as well as the way your hearing differs from someone else’s. Noble Audio provides the acoustic design; Audiodo adds the personal adjustment.

Audiodo Equalizer gives listeners further control over bass, mids and treble. Whether you prefer a little more bass or a gentler top end, you can adjust the balance to suit your taste. Together, the two Audiodo features account for both how you hear and how you like your music to sound.

Beautiful by name

Astrid means “divinely beautiful”. The name comes with a certain expectation, and Astrid gives the eye plenty to enjoy. Fine silver-toned lines form a frost-like pattern over the glossy black earbuds, with the same finish carried across the charging case. The Noble emblem appears on each faceplate, while the full logo sits across the case lid.

The earbuds feature glass fiber faceplates and shaped ABS housings. A choice of silicone ear tips helps listeners find the right fit, with touch controls for everyday adjustments and IPX4 splash resistance for the occasional encounter with the British weather.

Time for another album

Astrid offers up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge, with the case bringing total listening time to up to 40 hours, depending on settings. When it is time to recharge, there’s a choice of USB-C or wireless charging.

Active Noise Cancellation helps keep background noise out of the listening experience. Transparency mode lets outside sound through when needed, while microphone noise and wind reduction help with calls. Bluetooth 6.0 and two-device multipoint also make it possible to keep a phone and laptop connected at the same time, useful when music and work share the same desk.

In good company

Noble Audio’s wireless family has collected multiple awards and includes Osprey, Amadeus, Rex5, Prestige Encore II and the Artemis over-ear headphone.

Astrid adds another option for listeners drawn to Noble Audio’s approach to earphones: an interest in different driver technologies, individual designs and the music they are made to play.
