Noble Audio has announced Astrid, a new pair of premium true wireless earbuds combining a three-driver hybrid system with personalized sound, adjustable EQ, and active noise cancellation. Positioned between the Rex5 and Prestige Encore II, Astrid expands Noble’s wireless lineup with three different driver technologies inside each earpiece. The Noble Audio Astrid will be available beginning November 10, 2026, through Noble Audio and selected retailers worldwide, priced at $539.
Three-Driver Hybrid Design
Each Astrid earbud contains an 8.3mm dynamic driver, a 6mm planar driver, and a balanced armature. The dynamic driver features a polyurethane diaphragm with an aluminum-magnesium alloy dome, forming part of a hybrid configuration that draws on Noble Audio’s experience developing universal and custom in-ear monitors.
This combination brings an established part of Noble’s earphone design approach into a true wireless format. How effectively those drivers work together will require listening evaluation, but the configuration is one of Astrid’s main distinguishing features. Astrid’s published specifications include a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz, an impedance of 29 ohms at 1kHz, and sensitivity of 106dB SPL/mW at 1kHz.
Audiodo Personal Sound and Adjustable EQ
Sound customization is another major focus for the Noble Audio Astrid. Audiodo Personal Sound uses a short hearing assessment to evaluate each ear separately and create an individual hearing profile. That profile then adjusts playback to account for the listener’s hearing, including differences between the left and right ears.
Alongside hearing personalization, Audiodo Equalizer allows listeners to adjust bass, midrange, and treble to their preferences. The two features serve complementary purposes: Personal Sound adapts playback to hearing characteristics, while the equalizer provides control over the desired tonal balance. For listeners who regularly fine-tune their earbuds, Astrid offers both an assessment-based starting point and additional sound adjustment.
Bluetooth 6.0 With LDAC and aptX Adaptive
Astrid uses Bluetooth 6.0 and a Qualcomm QCC3091 chipset, with support for LDAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX, AAC, and SBC. Codec availability depends on the connected phone or player, giving compatible devices access to LDAC or aptX Adaptive playback. Two-device multipoint allows Astrid to connect to a phone and laptop simultaneously. This adds flexibility for listeners who move between music, calls, and computer audio throughout the day. Touch controls, voice assistant support, and companion app compatibility round out the everyday functionality.
Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode
The Noble Audio Astrid includes active noise cancellation to reduce background noise during listening. A transparency mode lets surrounding sound through when users need greater awareness of their environment. For calls, Astrid also features microphone noise and wind reduction. These functions broaden its intended use beyond music, although the announcement does not provide measured noise-canceling performance or detailed call-quality results.
Black-and-Silver Finish With IPX4 Protection
Astrid features a glossy black finish decorated with fine silver-toned lines that create a frost-like pattern. The matching charging case carries the same design, with Noble branding appearing on both the earbuds and case lid. The earbuds combine shaped ABS housings with glass fiber faceplates. Included silicone tips come in XS, S, M, and L sizes, giving listeners several options for achieving a secure seal. An IPX4 splash-resistance rating protects against splashing water, adding practicality for everyday portable use.
Up to 40 Hours of Battery Life
Noble Audio rates Astrid for up to 11 hours of playback per charge, extending to up to 40 hours with the charging case, depending on settings. The announcement does not specify separate battery figures for ANC-enabled listening. Each earbud contains a 65mAh battery, while the case houses a 500mAh battery. Charging is available through either USB-C or wireless charging.
The Noble Audio Astrid true wireless earbuds launch on November 10, 2026, for $539. You can find more from Noble Audio at Audio46.
