Quick answer: The Noise Buds R1 Gaana Edition costs ₹1,399 in India and comes with a free one-year Gaana Plus subscription worth ₹799. You can buy it from Noise’s website or through Gaana’s website and app. The earbuds have 11mm drivers, four microphones with Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC), up to 40 hours of total playback with the case, and InstaCharge, which gives up to 120 minutes of playback from a 10-minute charge.
Noise Buds R1 Gaana Edition: price and offer
| Detail | Noise Buds R1 Gaana Edition |
|---|---|
| Price in India | ₹1,399 |
| Bundled subscription | Gaana Plus for 1 year (worth ₹799) |
| Where to buy | Noise official website; Gaana website and app |
| Launch date | 29 October 2026 |
The bundle is the main attraction. Since a year of Gaana Plus alone is worth ₹799, you are effectively paying about ₹600 for the earbuds if you would have bought Gaana Plus anyway. Noise and Gaana haven’t published how to redeem the subscription or any eligibility rules, such as whether existing Gaana Plus users can use it. Check the product page before buying if that matters to you.

What do you get with Gaana Plus?
- Ad-free music streaming
- Unlimited high-quality downloads for offline listening
- HD audio across Gaana’s catalogue
- Exclusive podcasts
Noise plans to offer Gaana subscriptions across more of its products. The two companies say the partnership could reach 2.5 million customers by the end of 2026.
Gaana Edition vs standard Noise Buds R1
The only confirmed differences are the co-branding and the bundled Gaana Plus subscription. The standard Buds R1 is sold on Noise’s website and Flipkart in Matte Black, Matcha Green, Snow White and Special Blue. If you already pay for Spotify, YouTube Music or JioSaavn, compare prices: the standard model can be cheaper during sales, and the Gaana bonus may not matter to you.
Should you buy the Noise Buds R1 Gaana Edition?
- Good choice if you want budget earbuds for music and calls, and you listen on Gaana or would like to try it ad-free for a year.
- Look elsewhere if you need active noise cancellation for flights or the metro. These earbuds only have ENC for calls.
- Tip: 40 hours with the case and 120 minutes from a 10-minute charge are strong numbers at ₹1,399, so battery life should not be a worry.
