Noise reinvigorates India’s gaming audio category with Clutch HP‑P01, its first gaming headphone built for Indian gamers

New Delhi : Noise, India’s leading connected lifestyle and smart wearable brand, today marked its entry into the gaming ecosystem with Clutch – a specialist audio collection built mindfully for the serious Indian gaming audiences. With gaming moving rapidly from casual play to more competitive, social and performance-led experiences, Clutch addresses a clear gap in the market: accessible gaming audio that delivers the performance, precision and reliability serious gamers expect. Unlike conventional gaming gear, Clutch is purpose-built for how Indian gamers actually play—across mobile, PC and console, for longer sessions and with squad-based communication at the core. The debut product, Clutch HP-P01, is available for pre-booking from today exclusively on gonoise.com at an introductory price of INR 4,999, ahead of Clutch’s full India launch on 27th August.

India is home to over 568 million gamers, yet less than 15% own dedicated gaming audio, revealing a significant whitespace in one of the country’s fastest-growing entertainment categories. As gaming expands across mobile, PC, console and handheld platforms, the expectations from gaming hardware are evolving too, with players increasingly looking for the precision, performance and reliability that can keep up with the way they play. Clutch is built to bridge this gap with purpose-built technology and precision-tuned audio, bringing high-performance gaming features to a broader base of Indian gamers—because performance shouldn’t be a trade-off between skill and spend. 

Commenting on the launch, Amit Khatri, Co-Founder, Noise, said, “Indian gaming culture has matured faster than the gear built for it. Our gamers are competitive, they play for hours with their squads, and they know their specs. Yet the experience remains hindered by a lack of accessible, high-performance audio. Clutch closes that gap. It’s purpose-built, professional-grade technology and precision-tuned audio that meets the sophisticated needs of today’s gamers, as we believe performance should never be a trade-off between skill and spend.”

Designed for Competitive Play

The Clutch HP-P01 is built around the demands of competitive gaming, where precision, durability and comfort matter as much as performance. Its 50mm driver is tuned for precise directionality and footstep detection, while sub-30ms wireless latency keeps audio closely synced with on-screen action. A full-metal frame and breathable, fabric-wrapped cushions are built for durability, backed by drop, tumble and vibration testing with no cracking, loosening or loss of function. The ergonomics have been tested through thousands of headband, slider and clamp cycles to maintain a consistent fit over time, while the detachable boom microphone and 7.1 virtual surround sound are designed for the squad-based sessions that define how Indian gamers play.

Engineered to Outlast the Session

With up to 40 hours of battery life and four connection modes, including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 6.0 and 3.5mm wired, the HP-P01 is built to move across a gamer’s entire setup, from a phone during a commute to a console at home, without a mid-session charge. At 300±5g with multi-mode RGB lighting, the headphone is designed to be as comfortable through a long ranked session as it is visible in a stream setup or a squad photo.

Building the Range

Clutch will expand through 2026 and Indian gamers will have a complete range to choose from as they level up in skill and setup without having to look outside the category Clutch has created for them.

Pricing and availability

The Clutch HP-P01 is available for pre-booking from today, exclusively on gonoise.com, at an introductory price of INR 4,999. The headphone will be available in three colourways: Black/Red, Purple/Gold and Grey/Green, with deliveries beginning around Clutch’s full India launch on 27th August.
