Should you buy it?
You should buy if
If you want great music quality above all else: The Noble Fokus Mystique put music quality front and centre and work well with almost any genre.
You shouldn't buy if
If you want buds to exercise with: The Fokus Mystique are not waterproof and are not intended much else than the occasional workout.
Final Thoughts
The second album may be more difficult than the first, but that doesn’t mean that it is guaranteed to fail – sometimes the opposite is true. With brilliant sound quality for any genre, they make listening fun, and boasting a comfortable fit they are easy to wear for hours on end. The addition of an ambient pass through mode, a new design and improved mic performance only sweetens the deal. But though the Fokus Mystique buds achieve what they set out to do, that doesn’t mean they are the best option for most people.
