Noble Sceptre For Majestic Bluetooth
Noble’s Sceptre Bluetooth dongle promises better wireless quality from hi-res streaming.
The Noble Sceptre is a compact Bluetooth dongle that promises better wireless sound, advanced codec support, wide device compatibility, and features a charge-through USB-C design.
Noble Audio states that its Sceptre dongle is designed for listeners who want more from Bluetooth without replacing their existing headphones or earphones.
Sceptre bypasses the limitations of built-in Bluetooth hardware and acts as an external high-performance transmitter.
Noble’s Sceptre is powered by Qualcomm’s latest QCC5181 Bluetooth 5.4 chipset. By handling Bluetooth transmission externally, Sceptre lets you take full advantage of advanced codecs, including LDAC, aptX Adaptive, AAC, and SBC, even on devices that would otherwise be limited to basic Bluetooth audio. We’re told to expect a Bluetooth transmission range of up to 20 metres.
Supporting HFP, A2DP, and AVRCP profiles, Sceptre promises stable and reliable performance for music playback, calls, and media control.
Furthermore, to support extended listening sessions, Noble has equipped Sceptre with a charge-through USB-C port, allowing you to charge your device while listening, ensuring uninterrupted playback during long commutes, travel, or desk-based use.
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 and comes with an adapter in case your laptop, for instance, doesn't have a USB-C port.
Noble Audio’s Sceptre is available now, priced at £65 | US$70 | €70.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
