The true wireless earbuds (TWS) market has seen an explosion of options in recent years, with brands trying to strike the perfect balance between affordability, performance, and premium features.

Noise has stepped up its game with the Noise Master Buds by tuning from premium audio brand Bose. After using them for a week, I've put them through their paces to see if they live up to the hype. Here's my review.

DESIGN & BUILD

The Noise Master Buds feature a unique design, with a charging case resembling a vinyl disc that pays homage to retro audio culture. However, the case is purely cosmetic, lacking moving parts. The case's lid is flimsy, and the hinge creaks when opened or closed. There's no gap between the earbuds and the lid, which may cause scratches over time. A small LED light indicates charge and connectivity, while the USB-C port keeps the top minimalist. The earbuds are compact and come with interchangeable silicone tips for a comfortable fit, but their plastic build feels less premium compared to competitors.
