Noble Audio has expanded its true wireless earbud line-up with the Astrid, which brings together three different driver technologies and personalised sound features.
The Astrid sits between the company’s Rex5 and Prestige Encore II, offering another relatively expensive option for listeners who want more control over how their music sounds.
Considering Astrid is a Scandinavian name that, has several meanings that includes “divinely beautiful,” and “beloved by the gods,” here’s hoping that the Astrid delivers a heavenly sound.
As has become the norm from Noble Audio, the Astrid packs the three-driver hybrid setup that combines an 8.3mm dynamic driver (which uses a PU diaphragm with an aluminium-magnesium alloy dome), a 6mm planar driver and a balanced armature in each earbud, with all three technologies working together as part of Noble’s acoustic design.
Bluetooth 6.0 and two-device multipoint connectivity allow users to switch between a phone and laptop, while streaming codecs include LDAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX, AAC and SBC.

Noble has included Audiodo Personal Sound, which adjusts playback based on the listener’s hearing. A short assessment measures each ear separately before creating a personalised sound profile, accounting for differences between the left and right ears. Users can then fine-tune bass, mids and treble through Audiodo Equalizer, adding another layer of control over the listening experience.
The Astrid also comes with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and a transparency mode for hearing what’s around you. Microphone noise and wind reduction aims to improve call quality.
Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours per charge, extending to 40 hours with the charging case, depending on settings, with USB-C and wireless charging are supported.
Design-wise, Noble has opted for a glossy black finish with silver-toned patterns across the glass fibre faceplates and matching charging case. The earbuds also feature touch controls, IPX4 splash resistance and four sizes of silicone ear tips.
The Noble Audio Astrid will be available from 10 November 2026 through Noble Audio’s website and selected retailers worldwide, priced at £499 / $539 / €579.
