We hope, we could be of some help. Also after you have finally shortlisted some earphones, it is highly suggested that you check few reviews and videos regarding the product. I would personally suggest you to go for an earphone with a balanced audio and not seek for enhanced highs, mids or lows. They can always be tweaked through the equalizer at the end. And getting a balanced audio always ensures the versatility of usage (from different genres of music to gaming and movies, a balanced audio gives better experience than a frequency boosted audio). And – big and – don’t get mistaken for a duplicate product because the online markets are filled with up with them. Check your product, match the specs and order them. Many users fail to do so and are seem to believe that the product is really bad, whilst mistaking the product for their false one. P.S there is a good possibility that we may have missed some decent pieces, please let us know.

  1. Boat Bassheads 100 at a price tag of INR 399 is also a good choice with balanced sound. On top of this, they come with 12 months warranty with quality service. Their only competition is MI basic earphones with 6 months warranty. Based on personal experience users should focus on longevity of items like earphones.
