Noise Buds R1 Gaana Edition true wireless stereo earbuds have been launched in India at ₹1,399. The new model has been introduced through a collaboration between Noise and music platform Gaana, with a one-year Gaana Plus subscription included in the package.

The bundled subscription is valued at ₹799, according to the launch details. Gaana provides access to music as well as podcasts, making the offer relevant to buyers who use a single app for both types of audio content. The earbuds carry Gaana branding as part of the collaboration.

Price and availability in India

Noise Buds R1 Gaana Edition can be purchased through the official Noise website and via Gaana’s website or mobile application. The ₹1,399 price applies to the India launch. The product has therefore been introduced with a subscription-led bundle rather than as a hardware-only launch.

Audio and calling features

The earbuds use 11mm dynamic drivers. Noise has positioned them for everyday listening, with the drivers designed to deliver bass-focused audio. The Buds R1 Gaana Edition also includes four microphones and environmental noise cancellation, or ENC, for calls.

ENC is intended to reduce surrounding noise captured during calls, while the microphone system handles voice pickup. The available launch information identifies the feature as environmental noise cancellation; it does not describe the product as having active noise cancellation for music playback.

  • Quad microphones for voice calls

  • Fast charging support
  • One-year Gaana Plus subscription included with the Gaana Edition

Subscription changes the value proposition

The Gaana Plus membership is the main difference between this launch and a conventional earbuds purchase. At ₹1,399, the package combines the audio hardware with a year of access to Gaana’s paid service, which covers music and podcasts. The stated ₹799 value of the subscription accounts for a significant part of the bundled offering, although the purchase remains tied to Gaana’s service ecosystem.

The standard Noise Buds R1 is listed in Matte Black, Matcha Green, Snow White and Special Blue. The launch details do not establish whether every one of these colours is offered for the Gaana Edition, but they confirm the colour options for the standard version. The Gaana collaboration is also reflected through branding on the earbuds.

Noise has not provided battery-runtime figures in the launch information. Fast charging is confirmed, but the charging time and playback duration have not been specified. For users in India looking for entry-level TWS earbuds, the Buds R1 Gaana Edition’s headline features are its 11mm drivers, four-microphone call setup, ENC and the included Gaana Plus membership.
