QUES: - Why we
need headphones?
Ex: Hello Hello, harsh Yes sir Meeting in a couple of minutes. Be
ready!! Right away sir My headphone Hello Harsh Harsh Are you online? Hello!!
Hello!! Hello Harsh!! So, we always needed headphones Be it for movies or music
or entertainment or our guilty pleasure we always needed headphones.
But with this sudden eruption of Covid-19 situation headphones has
become one of the most important tools in our arsenal be it work from home or
study from home we need headphones to continue our daily schedule, Now I review
a lot of headphones.
Even, I'm not reviewing I'm actually using different types of headphones
so naturally, people keep asking me for suggestion and most of their queries
never cross the budget of Rs.4000, So I thought why not make a single article
and collate all the best choices we have within that price bracket Now
disclaimer!!
Not covering wireless headphones!
I have not used truly wireless headphones extensively to give any
opinion about them, so I will not be covering any truly wireless headphones in
this content so if you are looking for that I think this is where we take part
However if you are not conservative about your choices we are going to talk
about a lot of awesome headphones.
Now before jumping into the headphones Let's set some benchmark For
me the sound quality is the most important thing and then
comes the comfort of using that headphone and the third thing
is maybe the longevity and then comes convenience so
all the headphones or earphones that I'll be covering , must offer the first
two things.
· Comfort
· Longevity
· Convenience
Yes! longevity and the convenience can be compromised but there
should not be any compromise with the sound quality and the comfort because
without those you won't be able to use the headphones For a Long Time.
The choices under Rs.1000
Sennheiser CX-180
Now the Original CX-180s were quite popular but the one I am
talking is the CX-180 Street 2 and the sound quality of this
earphone is Magnificent the sound is very clear the sound
stage is also very good In fact it is so good I am quite surprised how they can
sell this under Rs.1000 The sound signature is also very good It shines in the
minds and highs.
The bass is also quite good It comes when it is
required and goes away when it is not, so it does not hinder the experience of
the minds and highs. The only caveat of this headphone is it does not
come with a mic, so if you are looking to use this for your meetings
and calls You won't be able to do that.
FEATURES
SOUND QUALITY: VERY MAGNIFICENT
BASS: VERY QUALITATIVE
MIC: NOT AVAILABLE
Sony's
MDR EX 150 AP
Sony's MDR EX 150 AP is also a very good choice under
Rs.1000. It also has a very good sound quality but for me it's not as good as
Sennheiser CX-180, But if I have to rank them that comes second but it also
comes with mic So you can use it for work from home or study from home
purposes.
And also I can vouch for the longevity of Sony MDR EX 150 AP
because I have used it for two years and abused it quite a lot but it's still
working fine so if you are looking for good sound quality and mic you
can go for Sony's MDR EX 150 AP.
FEATURES
SOUND QUALITY: VERY MAGNIFICENT
MIC: YES AVAILABLE
NOTE: Best for use for calling and work and studies
HEADPHONES (Rs.1000 - Rs.2000 price)
Sennheiser CX-275S
Here also my first choice will be Sennheiser, The Sennheiser
CX-275S is also a great headphone in this price bracket it has all the
good things of CX-180 Street 2 plus it has a mic and it's not
only the mic that is the differentiating factors between Sennheiser CX-180 and
275S the sound stage is also quite better for CX- 275 when
compared to CX-180.
RHA's
MA390 ''Aston Martin''
Now another earphone that can give a good competition to CX-275S is RHA's MA390 The ''Aston Martin'' of headphones the main reason why they call that is because of the build quality the earphone casing is made of aircraft grade Aluminium and also it comes with three years of warranty not only the build quality the sound quality is also quite premium of this headphone.
FEATURES:
SOUND : PREMIUM QUALITY
MIC: YES AVAILABLE, GOOD QUALITY
WARRANTY: 3 YEARS
BODY: ALUMINIUM BODY
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN (Sennheiser CX-275S- RHA MA390)
The main difference between CX275S and the RHA MA390 is the later has a
more flat sound signature so if you are interested for that you can pick up RHA
MA390 It also comes with a mic and pretty good one too so you can use it for
calls and meetings now if you want a comparison between Sennheiser
CX275S and the RHA MA390 . COMMENT BELOW !
Oneodio studio pro 10
now if you are looking for something wired and over the year then you can look for Oneodio studio pro 10. Now Oneodio studio pro 30 is my daily driver for editing and mixing audio and I really love its sound quality One audio studio pro 10 also has the similar sound quality .
The only difference is ear cushion is not as good as studio pro 30, so
if you can live with that you can pick up One Odio studio pro 10. one thing I
can assure you that you won't be disappointed with the sound quality of One
Odio studio pro 10.
One
plus bullets wireless Z
Now Bluetooth earphone in this price bracket .
One plus bullets wireless Z, Mostly because of its dash
charging and also the sound quality now I have personally used
original bullets wireless and this has a more similar sound quality to that
plus a little boosted bass the only thing it is lacking from original bullets
wireless is the build quality the earphone casing is made of plastic instead
of metal.
Also it does not come with the carrying pouch but I don't think you will
be missing much of that,
The reason why I’m suggesting you one plus bullets wireless more is
because of the service of one plus I had some problems with my
bullets wireless after using it for seven months basically the sound was not
coming from the left ear channel but as soon as they found out they replaced it
with a new one, so based on that it is safe to say that you won't be
compromised on the quality
Also the mic quality on one plus bullets wireless is
very good the battery life of bullets wireless z is also very
good it comes with 20 hours of battery life and additionally
it also has that low latency mode which will be helpful if you are a gamer.
FEATURES:
SOUND: MAGNIFICIENT
MIC: AMAZING QUALITY
RELIABILITY: AMAZING
BATTERY LIFE: 20 HOURS
Boat
Rockers 600
Now honestly, I don't want to recommend any Bluetooth on the ear or the over the ear headphone in this price bracket but... if you really have to pick up one then you can look for,
Boat Rockers 600 that is the only one
Bluetooth on the ear headphone that I can recommend it has a
pretty good sound quality with warm sound signature and you
will like it especially if you are a bass head it has a
decent battery life too but above all.
Why I am able to recommend this one compared to anything else at this
price point is because of the comfort it provides you can wear this headphone
for long times without stressing your earlobes which is very rare to see in
this price bracket.
I would still suggest picking up some wired headphone or earphone
at this price point otherwise you have to compromise the sound quality but if
you really have to pick up one then you can go for Boat Rockers 600.
FEATURES:
SOUND: MAGNIFICIENT
MIC: AMAZING QUALITY
COMFORT: AMAZING
BATTERY LIFE: DECENT (17-18 HOURS)
BASS: BASS HEAD
HEADPHONES (Rs.2000 - Rs.3000 price)
and in
this price range if you are still looking for wired earphones then save your
money and.. buy CX275S or RHA MA390
SONY MDR XB55
the only thing I can additionally add to the list is probably if you are a BASSHEAD then you can pick up SONY MDR XB55 as the name suggests XB it has some extra base in that.
Anker Soundcore life Q10
otherwise it has Sony's signature sound profile now that is only if you
are really a bass-head now this is the price range where bluetooth headphone gets
quite interesting because you are getting Soundcore life Q10 in this price
bracket and if you have still not heard about this particular headphone then
see other reviews too you can literally find out there is no negative
comments about that particular headphone.
The reason being the sound quality and especially
its bass and i don't mean the bass in a way that it completely
overshadows the mids and highs they are also present but the bass is
the main selling factor of this particular headphone and the overall
sound signature is also quite clear and quite surprising
That we get this at this price point also it comes with fast
charging and USB type C and because of all these
things everyone is speaking about this particular headphone .Everyone talk
about this , and everyone title it as “The BEAST” .
FEATURES:
SOUND: MAGNIFICIENT
BASS: HIGH BASS HEAD
BRAND VALUE: HIGH
PRODUCT VALUE: HIGH
PEOPLE TITLED: BEAST
now if you are someone who does
not like over the year headphones in any way and only want to pick up earphones then
you can buy the original bullets wireless they are really good they are really
well made I am using for the last one and a half year and they are working fine
Although there was one glitch in the middle but they have replaced it so I can
count it as throughout the year it is working fine
HEADPHONES (Rs.3000 - Rs.4000 price)
So now we have reached the top of the ladder, so let's talk about
headphones which are within Rs.3000 to Rs.4000 price bracket
and in this price bracket I have two main choices now before jumping onto them
again,
(NOTE: if you are looking for
wired in-ear earphones the choices remain same Sennheiser CX-275S and RHA's
MA390)
One Odio
Studio Pro 30
The first choice is for the wired over the ear headphone that is One
Odio Studio Pro 30. I have been using this headphone for last 10 months and
this has been my daily driver for my audio editing and mixing and also anything
I am doing on the desk even for meetings and calls I am using One Odio Studio
Pro 30 when I'm on desk and for all of them this headphone has been a great
experience.
First of all the main thing is the comfort The cushion on
this headphones are really great and they have not deteriorated at all in this
10 months even the overall build quality I don't see any kind of scratches or
marks on their It can be a reason that I am very careful using my products,
however even then I don't see even a hint of material coming off from this
particular headphone.
So if you are spending money for longevity this can
serve you good for long time and talking about sound quality , the sound
quality is genuinely amazing , commendable and I am really impressed with
the sound quality it produces at this price point so if you have a budget of
Rs.4000 and you want a professional headphone at this price point definitely
pick up One Odio Studio Pro 30 over anything else I can bet you won't regret!
FEATURES:
SOUND: MAGNIFICIENT
BASS: HIGH BASS HEAD
BRAND VALUE: HIGH
PRODUCT VALUE: HIGH
LONGITIVITY: LONG TIME
MIC: AVAILABLE
MONEY VALUE: HIGH
now what if you are not a professional user what if, you don't need to
edit or mix audio what if, you don't want wire and just want a Bluetooth
headphone for good experience in listening to music or watching movies then
obviously the one choice that!
Tribit Xfree
My personal choice that, Tribit Xfree Tunes Now
this is my daily driver in case of when I am on the move although I can't say
that is much in last three months but still you get the point If I have to pick
up one all-round headphone at this price point within Rs.4000 that can serve me
all purposes I will definitely pick up Tribit Xfree Tunes.
The main reason is it is built really well at this
price point .The moment you take it on the hand you can really feel the build
quality and you will be surprised that how it is possible to make
something at this price point the second thing is the sound quality it
has a quite a balanced sound quality with a really punchy and clear
base and the third thing is what was the third thing there's no third
thing anyway just because of sound quality and the comfort and the
build quality of this headphone.
FEATURES:
SOUND: BALANCED SOUND
BASS: HIGH BASS /CLEAR BASS
BRAND VALUE: HIGH
PRODUCT VALUE: HIGH
PRODUCT QUALITY /BUILD: AMAZING
