Noise opens reservations in India for the Master Buds Open, its first open-ear headphones and the brand’s first with “Sound by Bose” technology. The launch price is 7,999 rupees and official sales begin on October 23. The proposition follows the usual format: sound without obstructing the ear canal to avoid missing out on the surroundings, something designed for commuting, workdays, and outdoor activity.
What the Master Buds Open Bring
The acoustic section is supported by a custom 10.8 mm dynamic driver, accompanied by Dynamic EQ technology developed jointly and six sound presets. The open design with a C-shaped bridge leaves the ear canal free, so that the user continues to hear what is happening around them while listening.
For calls, Noise resorts to a four-microphone system with ENC and DNN aimed at reducing environmental noise and improving voice capture. In terms of connectivity, there is Bluetooth 5.4, dual connection for pairing two devices and switching between them, and Google Fast Pair on Android. The declared autonomy reaches 28 hours including the charging case, with fast-charging support, and water resistance is IPX4, sufficient for sweat and light splashes. From the Noise Audio app, tactile controls, equalizer, “Sound by Bose” presets, spatial audio, AI voice assistant, and transcription functions are added.
Price and Availability
The Master Buds Open are offered in two metallic finishes, Carbon and Mercury, and can already be reserved on Noise’s official website. Sales launch in India is set for October 23 at a launch price of 7,999 rupees, with distribution also through Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales.
What Changes for the Reader
For those following the open-ear headphones segment, the news is not so much a technical leap as an alternative with Bose tuning at a contained price. The category has been moving this year with examples like the Ugreen ClipBuds Pro 2, which also bet on the open format, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds On, the Korean firm’s first clip-ons. The Master Buds Open join that list with a clear framing: comfort and environmental awareness above isolation.
It is worth noting that the 28-hour battery life and IPX4 are figures declared by the manufacturer, not independently measured, and that neither the price nor the announced availability comes out of India for now: there is no date or rate for Spain. Those looking for active isolation or maximum fidelity in a closed format will have to look at another type of product; those who prioritize keeping their ears clear for hours already have an option more worth considering when it arrives, if it does, to the European market.
