New Delhi, May 18: Noise, India’s leading connected lifestyle brand has done it again. The Noise Master Buds 2, the latest flagship TWS from its Master Series co-engineered with Sound By Bose technology, has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2026, one of the world’s most respected honors for design and innovation, judged by an international panel of design experts.
Established in 1955, the Red Dot Award is one of the world’s most respected honors for design and innovation, judged by an international panel of design experts. This accolade reaffirms Master Buds not just as an audio powerhouse but as a new benchmark in wearable product design.
At the heart of Master Buds 2 is a design philosophy that translates the ritual of music into a daily wearable experience. Drawing from the precision engineering of high-end audio equipment and the aesthetic of vinyl records, the product strikes a careful balance between analog soul and digital intelligence. The case features a rectilinear top transitioning into a perfect semi-circle at the base, echoing the curvature of a vinyl disc. The buds introduce a defined edge along the side profile, a stabilising fin engineered to lock into the concha of the ear, and a metallic disc set on a flat architectural platform. Every detail is deliberate, every curve is intentional.
The audio experience matches the design ambition, dynamic EQ, co-developed with Bose, delivers a balanced sound profile that adjusts automatically in real time. 360-degree Spatial Audio with head tracking adapts to movement for a theatre-like listening experience, while LHDC support delivers up to 900 kbps for Hi-Res Audio quality. A 6-mic ENC system ensures calls stay sharp in any environment.
Master Buds 2 had already made its mark on the global stage earlier this year, receiving the SoundGuys/Android Authority “Breakthrough” award at CES 2026. The Red Dot win now adds a design stamp to its growing list of accolades.
This follows the Red Dot win for the Noise Master Buds 2025, making it back-to-back global recognition for Noise, and a continued statement of intent: world-class design can come from India.
