For over a decade, Noble Audio has been synonymous with high-performance personal audio, earning a loyal following through its handcrafted in-ear monitors and increasingly ambitious true wireless designs. After a strong run in the true wireless space throughout 2024 and 2025, Noble is now shifting its focus to the source itself with the launch of Sceptre, a compact Bluetooth audio dongle designed to unlock high-resolution wireless audio on almost any modern device.
Rather than asking listeners to replace their existing headphones or earphones, Sceptre targets one of the weakest links in everyday audio setups: built-in Bluetooth hardware. Smartphones, tablets, and laptops often rely on limited Bluetooth transmitters, restricting users to basic codecs and inconsistent wireless performance. Sceptre bypasses those limitations entirely.
High-Resolution Bluetooth, Done Properly
At the heart of Sceptre is Qualcomm’s latest QCC5181 Bluetooth chipset, supporting Bluetooth 5.4 for improved stability, efficiency, and range. Acting as an external high-performance transmitter, Sceptre enables advanced codecs such as LDAC and aptX Adaptive, alongside AAC and SBC, even on devices that would normally be locked to lower-quality Bluetooth audio.
In real-world terms, this means cleaner sound, improved detail, and more consistent performance when streaming music, watching video content, or gaming. Whether paired with Noble’s own award-winning true wireless earphones or other high-quality Bluetooth headphones, Sceptre ensures wireless audio performs closer to its full potential.
Designed for Everyday Listening
Sceptre is clearly built with real-world use in mind. A charge-through USB-C port allows users to power their phone, tablet, or laptop while listening, making it well suited for long commutes, travel, or desk-based setups where uninterrupted playback matters.
Support for HFP, A2DP, and AVRCP profiles ensures stable performance across music playback, calls, and media controls. With a wireless transmission range of up to 20 metres, Sceptre offers dependable Bluetooth performance in everyday environments, whether at home, at work, or on the move.
Setup is handled via the Noble app for the initial connection, after which Sceptre can be plugged into any compatible USB-C device and used without further configuration.
Expanding the Noble Ecosystem
Compact, lightweight, and designed for portability, Sceptre represents a natural expansion of the Noble Audio ecosystem. By moving beyond headphones and earphones and into the wider wireless signal chain, Noble is offering a practical way to improve audio quality without forcing users to abandon gear they already own.
Sceptre will be available from 6th February 2026 priced at £64.99 / $69.99 / €69.99 via nobleaudio.com and selected retailers worldwide.
