Noise has launched Master Buds Max, its first over-ear headphones in the flagship Master Series, after the launch of Master Buds TWS earbuds earlier this year. The new headphones feature ‘Sound by Bose’ technology, marking a significant collaboration for the Indian brand. The product aims to offer premium features such as active noise cancellation (ANC) and dynamic equalization (EQ) at an accessible price point.
First unveiled at IFA Berlin 2025, the Master Buds Max incorporates Sound by Bose technology to deliver a high-fidelity, lifelike audio experience. According to the company, this integration is part of a long-term commitment to making premium audio technology more accessible to a wider consumer base.
Key features of the Noise Master Buds Max include:
Category-Leading Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
Noise claims the adaptive ANC is a leader in its segment. The company states that independent tests across 61 frequency points show it outperforms competitors by up to 85%, particularly in low and mid-frequency ranges encountered during travel or in office environments.
Dynamic EQ Technology
The headphones introduce Dynamic EQ, a feature Noise describes as a first in this price segment. The adaptive tuning system analyzes the listening environment and volume level to maintain consistent audio quality, enhancing bass at lower volumes and preventing distortion at higher volumes.
Extended Battery Life
The Master Buds Max offers up to 60 hours of continuous playtime, which the company claims is the longest in its category. A 10-minute quick charge is said to provide 10 hours of playback.
Design and Comfort
The headphones are designed for all-day use with a lightweight build, vegan leather cushions, and aerospace-grade metallic grills. The ergonomic design aims to distribute pressure evenly to minimize ear fatigue during long listening sessions.
Call Quality and Connectivity
The device is equipped with Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) technology to ensure clear voice calls by filtering out background noise. It also supports dual-device pairing, allowing seamless switching between devices like a laptop and a smartphone.
