High-quality Bluetooth audio made simple, with support for advanced codecs, wide device compatibility, and a charge-through USB-C design
6th February 2026: For over a decade, Noble Audio has built its reputation on pushing the boundaries of high-performance personal audio - from hand-crafted in-ear monitors to some of the most advanced true wireless designs on the market today. Following a highly successful period in the true wireless space throughout 2024 and 2025, Noble now turns its attention to the source itself with the launch of Sceptre, a compact Bluetooth audio dongle designed to unlock high-resolution wireless audio on virtually any device.
Designed for listeners who want more from Bluetooth without replacing their existing headphones or earphones, Sceptre bypasses the limitations of built-in Bluetooth hardware found in smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Acting as an external high-performance transmitter, Sceptre enables support for advanced codecs such as LDAC and aptX Adaptive, delivering cleaner, more consistent, high-quality wireless audio to any compatible Bluetooth audio device.
Sceptre will be available from 6th February 2026 for £64.99 / $69.99 / €69.99 from nobleaudio.com and selected retailers worldwide.
High-Resolution Bluetooth, the Noble Way
At the core of Sceptre is Qualcomm’s latest QCC5181 Bluetooth chipset, supporting Bluetooth 5.4 for reliable, efficient wireless performance. By handling Bluetooth transmission externally, Sceptre allows users to take full advantage of advanced codecs including LDAC, aptX Adaptive, AAC, and SBC, even on devices that would otherwise be restricted to basic Bluetooth audio.
For users, this translates to improved clarity, better detail retrieval, and a more refined listening experience when streaming music, watching video content, or gaming. Paired with Noble’s own award-winning true wireless earphones or any high-quality Bluetooth headphones, Sceptre ensures wireless audio performs as intended.
Designed for Real-World Listening
To support extended listening sessions, Noble has equipped Sceptre with a charge-through USB-C port, allowing users to charge their device while listening. This ensures uninterrupted playback during long commutes, travel, or desk-based use.
Supporting HFP, A2DP, and AVRCP profiles, Sceptre delivers stable and reliable performance for music playback, calls, and media control. With a Bluetooth transmission range of up to 20 metres, Sceptre offers dependable wireless performance in everyday environments, whether at home, at work, or on the move. It can be used with a wide range of Bluetooth audio products, including true wireless earphones, over-ear headphones, and powered speakers.
Setup is simple thanks to the Noble app. Once the initial connection is established, Sceptre can then be plugged into any compatible USB-C device.
Compact Design, Expanding the Noble Ecosystem
Compact, lightweight, and built for everyday portability, Sceptre reflects Noble Audio’s continued focus on practical, performance-driven products that enhance how people listen. By expanding beyond headphones and earphones and into the wider wireless signal chain, Noble once again demonstrates its commitment to delivering premium audio experiences - without forcing users to replace the gear they already love.
