For many people, Bose is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to high quality mainstream audio. But as with many things tech, this high quality comes with a stiff price tag. It is almost impossible to get Bose earbuds or headphones for less than Rs 15,000. So imagine getting the legendary Bose sound for Rs 7,999? Well, that is exactly what Indian brand Noise is trying to do with its Noise Master Buds.

The Noise Master Buds feature Sound by Bose, which reflects the legendary brand's involvement with them. They are part of Noise's efforts to move into a more premium zone. And apart from Bose sound, they are pretty well stacked in terms of features - they come with 12.4 mm drivers, ANC, IPX5 rating, dual device connectivity, and claim to deliver 44 hours of battery life (including the case).

The build is all plastic but the case has these slightly old radio transistor looks and a rather striking LED, to indicate battery status, we assume.
The buds themselves are also all plastic and have what is called a 'lollipop' design with three different sizes of eartips and touch controls. The whole package is a little lightweight but looks very sleek.
The big question of course is going to be whether the buds are worth Rs 7,999? That is a super affordable price by Bose standards but close to premium by Noise ones. The specs are nice, the design is nice too, but these TWS are going to live or die depending on the sound they deliver. We are just hoping they sound Bose-like, because getting Bose audio at that price would be something indeed!
