Noble Audio Unveils Osprey Earbuds at $199

The hybrid‑driver, LDAC‑capable earbuds put Noble’s signature tuning into a lower‑priced package to make higher‑resolution sound more accessible.

Overview

  • Noble publicly unveiled the Osprey at coverage tied to HIGH END Vienna on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, and opened pre-orders for June 4 with shipments expected by the end of June.
  • The Osprey is priced at $199 (also listed as £199 and €225) and is positioned as the brand’s most accessible true wireless model compared with its previous $320+ offerings.
  • Audio hardware includes a hybrid driver layout with a 10mm dynamic driver plus a custom balanced armature, support for LDAC, and a Bluetooth 5.4 implementation built on the Airoha 1571 chipset for stable connectivity.
  • Practical features include Active Noise Cancellation, a Hearing Through mode, dual microphones with cVc noise reduction for clearer calls, multipoint/TrueWireless Mirroring, five to seven hours of earbud playback depending on ANC, a 500mAh case for extra charges, and a 10‑minute quick charge that adds about two hours.
  • The Osprey keeps Noble’s premium styling with marbled faceplates and an aluminum charging case and could broaden the company’s audience by bringing its precision tuning and higher‑resolution wireless codecs to buyers unwilling to pay the brand’s usual premium.
