The Quick Verdict
Noise has quietly become one of India's most reliable budget audio brands, and the VS104 Max shows why. The 13mm drivers deliver balanced sound — not bass-heavy, not tinny, just pleasant. The quad-mic ENC setup genuinely improves call clarity, especially in moderately noisy environments like cafes or buses.
