Noise, co‑founded by Amit Khatri in 2014, has grown into India’s leading homegrown brand for smart wearables and audio products. Its sound quality stands out because of advanced audio engineering, adaptive hybrid ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), and ergonomic design that many competing brands in its price range do not offer.
🌟 The Founder and Brand Story
Noise was co‑founded by Amit Khatri in 2014 as a bootstrapped venture. What started as a small experiment in consumer electronics has now become India’s first ₹1000 crore D2C brand, recognized as the #1 smartwatch brand in India, #3 in Asia, and #9 globally.
The brand’s philosophy is simple: deliver premium technology at accessible prices. While Noise is best known for its smartwatches, its audio products—earbuds, headphones, and wireless devices—have carved a niche by offering better sound quality than most competitors in the same segment.
🎯 Why Noise Has Better Sound Quality
Noise audio products are engineered with features that enhance clarity, depth, and user experience:
- Adaptive Hybrid ANC (up to 50dB): Cancels external noise effectively, allowing pure sound even in crowded or noisy environments.
- High Fidelity Audio (HFA Tech): Ensures crisp, detail‑rich sound across frequencies, so users hear every beat clearly.
- Extended Playtime: Many Noise headphones and earbuds offer up to 80 hours of playback, reducing interruptions.
- Dual Pairing: Users can connect to two devices simultaneously, a feature not common in budget competitors.
- Ergonomic Design: Comfortable fit for long listening sessions, reducing fatigue.
These features combine to make Noise products ideal for both casual listeners and professionals who want reliable sound without paying premium international brand prices.
