Noise’s first open-ear earbuds bring Sound by Bose tuning for ₹7,999. Here’s what they offer, who they suit, and what to know before you buy
Most wireless earbuds try to shut the world out. The new Noise Master Buds Open do the opposite. They sit outside your ear canal, so you can listen to music or take calls while still hearing traffic, announcements and the people around you. They’re also Noise’s first open-ear earbuds, and they carry Sound by Bose tuning. After pre-bookings that began on October 1, the Noise Master Buds Open go on general sale in India on October 23, 2026. Here’s everything you need to know.

What Are Open-Ear Earbuds?
Regular earbuds go inside your ear canal and seal it, which blocks outside noise. Open-ear earbuds rest outside the ear canal and send sound towards it, leaving the canal open.
The Noise Master Buds Open use a C-bridge design: a small curved band clips onto the outer edge of your ear, holding the speaker near the ear canal without blocking it. Because nothing goes inside the ear, many people find this style more comfortable for long hours.
Open-ear vs regular earbuds at a glance:
| Open-ear earbuds | Regular (in-ear) earbuds | |
|---|---|---|
| Hear your surroundings | Yes, always | Only with transparency mode |
| Noise cancellation | No | Usually yes (ANC) |
| Comfort for long use | Very good, nothing inside the ear | Can feel tiring for some people |
| Bass and isolation | Lighter | Stronger |
| Sound leakage | Some, at high volume | Very little |
Sound by Bose: What It Actually Means
The “Sound by Bose” label doesn’t mean Bose made these earbuds. According to Beebom, Noise’s Master Series uses Sound by Bose branding and tuning, and Noise co-developed the Dynamic EQ feature with Bose.
Dynamic EQ adjusts the sound balance as you change the volume, so bass and detail don’t disappear when you listen quietly. In the Noise Audio app, you get six EQ presets, including Sound by Bose presets, plus Spatial Audio for a more surround-like effect.
Calls, Connectivity and App Features
- Calls: four microphones with ENC (environmental noise cancellation) and a DNN (deep neural network) model to reduce background noise, so the person on the other side hears your voice more clearly.
- Dual connectivity: stay connected to two devices, such as your phone and laptop, and switch between them.
- Google Fast Pair: one-tap pairing on Android phones. The earbuds also work with iPhones through the Noise Audio app.
- AI features: the app includes a built-in AI voice assistant and a transcription feature.
- Controls: customisable touch gestures in the app.
Battery Life
Noise rates the Noise Master Buds Open at up to 28 hours of total playback with the charging case, and they support fast charging. Noise hasn’t shared the battery life of the earbuds alone or the exact charging time.
For context, 28 hours is lower than many in-ear earbuds, which often claim 40 to 60 hours. But open-ear earbuds are usually bought for comfort and awareness rather than maximum battery life, and 28 hours is still enough for several days of normal use.

Who Should Buy the Noise Master Buds Open?
Good choice if you:
- Walk, run or cycle outdoors and need to hear traffic and horns
- Wear earbuds for long hours at work and find in-ear buds uncomfortable
- Take many calls and want to hear your own voice naturally
- Want to stay aware of family members, doorbells or office colleagues while listening
Look elsewhere if you:
- Travel often by bus, train or flight and want noise cancellation
- Want deep, punchy bass, which in-ear earbuds usually deliver better
- Need private listening in quiet rooms, since open-ear designs can leak some sound at high volume
- Have a tight budget, because good in-ear ANC earbuds now cost well under ₹3,000
Things to Check Before Buying
- Fit: C-bridge designs fit most ears, but if possible, try a pair at a Croma or Reliance Digital store.
- Codecs: Noise hasn’t announced codec support yet. If you care about hi-res audio, wait for full specifications or early reviews.
- Reviews: these are brand-new, so check independent reviews for real-world sound quality and call performance after October 23.
- Launch offers: look for bank offers and introductory discounts on sale day.

Conclusion
The Noise Master Buds Open bring open-ear audio and Sound by Bose tuning to India at ₹7,999. With a comfortable C-bridge design, a 10.8mm driver, Dynamic EQ co-developed with Bose, 4-mic call noise reduction, Bluetooth 5.4 with dual connectivity and up to 28 hours of battery, they’re built for people who want music and calls without losing touch with the world around them. They’re not for anyone who wants noise cancellation or heavy bass, but for outdoor runners, office workers and long-call users, they are worth a look once the first reviews arrive.
My take: I believe open-ear earbuds can be a great option for people who value comfort and awareness of their surroundings as much as sound quality. The Noise Master Buds Open could be useful for outdoor activities, long work sessions and frequent calls, especially for those who don’t like earbuds sitting inside their ears. The right choice also depends on how you plan to use them. For professional use, such as taking regular calls on a laptop, call clarity and dual-device connection matter most. For personal use, such as listening to music on a walk, comfort and sound quality come first.
However, at ₹7,999, I would wait for independent reviews before buying, to check the fit, call clarity, battery life and sound quality. For me, the best audio device isn’t the one with the most features; it’s the one that matches my daily needs and offers real value for money. I would conclude by saying: “The best technology does not always block out the world; sometimes, it helps us stay connected to it.”
