🏆 Best ANC Value — BX-590 ANC Wireless Earbuds
Price: Rs. 5,199 Rs. 7,466

The BX-590 is BLUK’s dedicated ANC flagship, reducing background noise by up to 80% through an active system that continuously monitors ambient sound and generates opposing signals to cancel it. In practical terms: office HVAC noise becomes a whisper, café background chatter reduces to a murmur, and commute traffic fades significantly. The Quad-Mic ENC simultaneously handles call clarity, making the BX-590 a genuinely useful tool for both focused listening and professional calls.
Pros:
- Up to 80% active noise reduction
- Quad-Mic ENC for professional call quality
- 20+ hours total battery with Type-C charging
- Bluetooth 5.4
- 10mm composite diaphragm drivers
Cons:
- Available in Black only
- No open-wear option
The BX-590 is the right choice if your priority is reducing what you hear — for commutes, office focus sessions, travel, and anywhere background noise disrupts concentration.
👂 Best ANC + Call Combo — BX-604 Open-Ear ANC Earbuds
Price: Rs. 7,599

The BX-604 takes a different approach to ANC. Its open-ear design means you remain aware of your surroundings by default, while ANC handles selective noise reduction for specific frequencies without total isolation. The Quad Mic Technology combined with ANC + ENC dual processing produces the most sophisticated noise management system in the BLUK’s lineup — four microphones handle directional rejection, wind noise, and background filtering simultaneously.
Pros:
- ANC + ENC dual noise management
- Quad Mic Technology — best call clarity in BLUK’s lineup
- Open-wear design — awareness of surroundings maintained
- Comfortable for all-day wear
Cons:
- Most expensive on this list at Rs. 7,599
- Less ANC intensity than BX-590 (open-ear by design)
- Reduced bass compared to sealed earbuds
Choose the BX-604 if you need to stay aware of your environment while managing noise — office settings, commutes where safety awareness matters, and anyone who takes heavy call volumes.
ANC vs ENC — What’s the Difference and Which Do You Need?
ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) reduces what you hear during music playback. Microphones sample ambient sound and generate an opposing audio signal to cancel it before it reaches your ears. It’s the technology that makes a noisy commute feel significantly quieter. Both the BX-590 and BX-604 include it.
ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) reduces what the person you’re calling hears of your environment. It targets the microphone, not your speakers — so background noise is filtered from your voice before it’s transmitted. Every BLUK’s earbud includes ENC as a baseline.
If you need quieter listening for focus, commutes, or travel — ANC. If you need clearer calls in noisy environments — ENC handles that and is included in all options. The BX-590 and BX-604 both handle ANC and ENC simultaneously, making them the complete solution for users who need both.

What is the difference between ANC and ENC earbuds?

Can I use ANC earbuds for calls?
Yes. Both the BX-590 and BX-604 include ENC microphone systems in addition to ANC playback. The BX-590's Quad-Mic ENC is particularly effective, producing clear voice pickup even in conditions where ANC is also active.
