Is Noise about to disrupt the Indian gaming audio market?
Noise, the leading connected lifestyle and wearable brand in India, is now entering a new market sector. The company has introduced Clutch, a range of gaming audio products that the brand has specifically designed for India’s gaming community. The first product in the range is the Clutch HP-P01, a wireless gaming headphone. The brand says it is designed for use in competitive gaming on mobile devices, personal computers, and consoles.
Price and Availability
Noise currently offers the Clutch HP-P01 for pre-booking exclusively on gonoise.com at an introductory price of Rs 4,999. The headphone launches in India on August 27, with deliveries beginning around the same time. It is available in three colourways: Black and Red, Purple and Gold, and Grey and Green.
Specifications and features
The HP-P01 features a 50mm driver designed for precise sound direction and footstep detection, which are essential for competitive gaming in titles like BGMI, Valorant, and Call of Duty. It has a wireless latency of 24ms, ensuring the audio is closely synced with the action on screen. It supports four connectivity options: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 6.0, and a 3.5mm wired connection, making it compatible with PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.

The full-metal frame and cushioned fabric are made for durability and comfort, having passed drop, tumble, and vibration tests. A detachable boom microphone and 7.1 virtual surround sound facilitate squad communication, while multi-mode RGB lighting enhances the look for streaming setups. The headphones weigh 300g and are available in Black and Red, Purple and Gold, and Grey and Green.
At Rs 4,999, the HP-P01 competes with the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2, Zebronics Orion, and boAt Immortal 1000D in the entry-level gaming headphone market. Many alternatives in this price range offer either wired-only connections or Bluetooth without low-latency support. The HP-P01’s 2.4GHz wireless feature with 24ms latency, 40-hour battery life, and four connectivity modes give it a strong advantage over most direct competitors in the same price range.
For Indian gamers seeking a capable wireless gaming headset under Rs 5,000 that works across mobile, PC, and consoles, the HP-P01 sounds like a good option. A hands-on review will show how the 50mm driver performs in actual games, especially in terms of positional audio, which is crucial for competitive play.
