What buyers should know
ANC at this price is the main attraction. The iQOO Buds, which launched around the same time for ₹1,899, do not have ANC at all. The headline 52 hours is with ANC off, and 30 hours is the honest number for regular ANC use.
The Nothing X app adds six EQ presets, a custom EQ and bass settings. The report did not mention a water rating, so check before using them for sweaty workouts.
Other earbuds near this price include the iQOO Buds at ₹1,899, which have no ANC, and boAt’s open-ear Airdopes ProClip at ₹1,599. For stronger noise cancellation, the OPPO Enco Air5 launched at ₹3,299 with 52dB ANC. CMF’s parent brand Nothing was the fastest-growing phone brand in India in the June quarter, Counterpoint said.
Why it matters for accessory sellers
This is a strong under-₹2,000 option, and offline chains such as Croma and Reliance Digital sell it, so check whether your supplier does too. Let customers feel the ANC, as it sells itself. It is a natural add-on with any new phone.
Correction (November 1, 2026): An earlier version gave ANC as 42dB. It is up to 35dB.
