Can Earphones Adapt To Your Hearing? Noble Audio Astrid Brings Personalised Sound To TWS

Noble Audio has introduced Astrid, a new pair of true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones designed to personalise audio playback based on individual hearing profiles.

The Texas-based company has equipped each earpiece with three driver technologies: an 8.3mm dynamic driver, a 6mm planar driver and a balanced armature.

The hybrid configuration aims to deliver detailed sound while accounting for differences in hearing between individuals and between the left and right ears.

Astrid incorporates Audiodo Personal Sound technology, which creates a customised hearing profile through a short test conducted separately for each ear.

The results automatically adjust audio playback. Users can further customise bass, midrange and treble through the Audiodo Equaliser.

The earphones feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency mode, allowing users to hear surrounding sounds when required.

Bluetooth 6.0 and multipoint connectivity enable simultaneous connections to devices such as smartphones and laptops.

Microphone noise and wind reduction features aim to improve call clarity.

Noble claims Astrid offers up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 40 hours with the charging case, depending on usage and settings. The case supports USB-C and wireless charging.

The earphones come with silicone tips and carry an IPX4 rating for splash resistance.

Astrid is priced at $539 in the US and £499 in the UK.

Positioned between Noble Audio’s mid-range and flagship wireless offerings, the earphones are available through the company’s website and selected retailers.
