The Quick Verdict
The Noise Buds VS104 is the evolution of the VS102 — adding bigger 13mm drivers, Bluetooth 5.3, and a refined design while keeping the price aggressively low. It does not have the VS102's massive 50-hour battery, but it delivers better sound, newer connectivity, and a more polished experience. For under ₹1,100, it is a smart, balanced buy.
Who Should Buy?
| Buy If | Skip If |
|---|---|
| You want balanced sound with newer Bluetooth | Battery life is your absolute priority |
| You prefer lightweight, pocketable design | You need ANC or gaming features |
| You want color options | You take frequent outdoor calls |
| You trust the Noise brand ecosystem | You want app-based customization |
Bottom Line
The Noise Buds VS104 trades raw battery for better sound and newer tech. It is the more refined, modern choice compared to the VS102, and at ₹1,099, it is still a steal. For everyday listening without frills, this is a safe bet.
