Benefits of the Apollo's patented dual speaker arrangement:

Since a planar magnetic speaker's diaphragm is extremely thin, lighter even than the air it moves, planar magnetic speakers are known for their delicacy and accuracy, without the blurring effects of excessive inertia.  The drawback to such speakers of this size is they lack the ability to move sufficient air mass to produce the quality of bass that most listeners prefer. 

Dynamic drivers provide excellent bass by moving significant amounts of air, but due to their mass, dynamic drivers cannot provide the crystal clear mid and high frequencies that planar magnetic speakers are capable of. 

By utilizing both a dynamic speaker and a planar magnetic speaker the Noble FoKus Apollo provides the clarity of a planar magnetic driver, while retaining the bass of a dynamic driver.

*New review Oct 24 in Tech Radar - the reviewer mentioned you cannot make calls with the built in mics. Correction - I have made many calls with the built in mics, including just now, out on Main st, in front of the shop. The caller can hear the traffic noise around me but can hear my voice clearly. These are call ready!
