Noble Audio’s FoKus Artemis over-ears are drawing rare “best wireless sound I’ve tested” praise — and a sticker that puts them firmly in luxury territory for Canadian listeners.

In a TechRadar review published Oct. 3, 2026, Harry Padoan awards sound quality 5/5, calling the Artemis among the best-sounding wireless headphones he has used. The closed-back cans pair one dynamic, one planar and one balanced-armature driver per earcup, with aptX Lossless, LDAC and USB-C audio, Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint, wear detection and up to 55 hours of playback (35 with ANC on). Audiodo personal EQ can compensate for hearing loss; a parametric EQ and presets live onboard. Trade-offs: average ANC and a looser fit that lets more ambient noise in, underwhelming spatial modes, and a steep US$899 / £799 list. Tom’s Guide likewise calls the sound “exquisite” for tinnitus-aware personal EQ, while flagging a janky iOS app and build that does not quite match Bang & Olufsen luxury at the same money.

Canadian availability is live. Noble Audio’s Canada store lists Artemis at $1,561 CAD (sold out at press time on some configs), while Toronto-area retailer EQ Audio Video shows $1,299 CAD with stock “on the way.” Specs on both pages emphasise the hybrid three-driver stack, Qualcomm QCC3095, IP52 rating and a user-replaceable 600 mAh battery — a longevity nod few ANC flagships still offer.

If you prioritise spacious, reference-leaning wireless fidelity over class-leading silence, Artemis belongs on a shortlist; if you fly weekly or want Bose/Sony-grade hush for less, TechRadar still points to Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 and AirPods Max 2 as stronger all-rounders.
