Noise ALT Buds (S) Truly Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds

The ALT Buds (S) feature intuitive touch controls for easy access to music, calls, and voice assistant functions. During phone calls, a single tap on either earbud answers or ends a call, while a double tap rejects an incoming call. For music, the left earbud decreases volume with a single tap, plays/pauses with a double tap, and skips to the previous track with a triple tap. The right earbud increases volume with a single tap, plays/pauses with a double tap, and skips to the next track with a triple tap. On both earbuds, four taps activate your phone's voice assistant, and pressing and holding for 2 seconds toggles Gaming Mode for lower latency.

ALT Buds (S) use a quad-mic setup with ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) that reduces background noise so your voice stays clear on calls. Real-world call quality still depends on your network strength and the level of disturbance in your surroundings, and you can answer or end a call with a single tap on either earbud.

No, ALT Buds (S) do not announce the caller's name or number on an incoming call. Instead, you are alerted to a call by a tone on the earbuds, and you can then answer or reject it using the touch controls on either bud, checking your phone screen if you need to see who is calling.

ALT Buds (S) carry an IPX5 water-resistant rating, so they comfortably handle sweat and light splashes and are well suited to workouts and light rain. They are not fully waterproof, however, so you should avoid submerging them or wearing them while swimming or showering to keep them protected.

ALT Buds (S) do not have active noise cancellation (ANC) for music listening. Instead, they use a Quad Mic ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) system that works during calls, reducing the background noise around you so your voice comes through clearly to the person on the other end, rather than muting ambient sound while you listen.

ALT Buds (S) come in four colourways: Chosen Black, Chosen Orange, Chosen Blue, and Chosen White. All four are identical in features, sound, and battery life, so the choice is purely about which look you prefer, giving you a wider palette to match your style than the two-tone standard ALT Buds.

ALT Buds (S) deliver up to 45 hours of total playtime combining the earbuds and the charging case, which is enough for many days of typical use between full charges. A full charge takes about 1 hour, and InstaCharge fast charging means just 10 minutes in the case gives you up to 4 hours of playtime when you're short on time.

You can check battery status in 2 ways: 1) Via Noise Audio App: Pair your buds with the Noise Audio App; at the home page you can see the battery level of both the charging case and the earbuds. 2) Via Charging case button: a) When battery is below 25%, upon opening or closing the case an orange LED lights up for 2 seconds. b) When battery is 25% or above, upon opening/closing the lid a white LED lights up for 2 seconds.

ALT Buds (S) work with both iPhones and Android smartphones, so you can pair them with virtually any modern phone. They can also connect to a laptop or computer, as long as that device supports Bluetooth. In short, any Bluetooth-enabled device should be able to pair with ALT Buds (S) for music, video, and calls.

ALT Buds (S) run on Bluetooth v6.0 and support dual-device pairing, so you can stay connected to two devices at once and switch seamlessly between them, such as a laptop and a phone. The Bluetooth range is up to 10 metres in open conditions with no obstacles between the buds and your device.

ALT Buds (S) power on automatically when you open the case and remove them, and power off when you place them back with the lid closed. To pair the first time, keep the buds and phone close together, take the buds out, then open your phone's Bluetooth menu and select "ALT Buds (S)." After that they reconnect automatically to the last paired device.

If only one side is working, first make sure both buds have adequate battery, then unpair them from your device and pair again from your phone's Bluetooth settings. If that doesn't help, a reset often clears the issue: open the charging case lid and press and hold the charging button for 10 seconds until the white LED flashes for 3 seconds. If it still persists, raise a support ticket with Noise.

ALT Buds (S) come with a 1-year manufacturing warranty, valid from the date the product is delivered to you, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. To activate your cover, register the product on the Noise warranty registration page after purchase, keeping your order details handy so the warranty is correctly linked to your device.
