    oh gosh they are insane. very good clearity, crystal clear and mind blowing bass even at high volume they don`t hurt your ears with their sound. i guess you got to have a good burn out for about 50 hours..

    any headphone / earphones less then 3k of sennheiser, audio techniqa are a BIG shitty joke..
    man you know who you are competing with? its sony man SONY..

    not even close enough to match them with any other brand.. if your budget is under 3k.. no doubt either of the 2 sony mdr xb30ex / sony mdr xb50ap // if you can spend few thousands more get xb90ex // BEST EARPHONES IN ALL CATEGORIES Best Bass, treble, clarity, metal sounds great..

  28. Panasonic Ergofit in ear phones are an excellent choice and value for money. Clarity is good for bass lovers there is another model in the same series with Xtra Bass. Fits comfortable in the ear. I feel comfortable wearing them underneath the helmet while riding. I wear a balaclava after fixing the ear phones and wear the helmet. Decent noise isolation (passive) and comes with a mic.

  29. Hello Kanuj. Your articles are really helpful. Keep up the great work. Now coming to my problem, I recently bought a JBL YURBUDS FOCUS 300 for my iphone 5s and was really disappointed with the sound quality though the fit and feel are good but it doesnot give the sound i was expecting from a earphone of almost 3k. Now i am planning to buy a new pair and would really appreciate your help. My budget 3-3.5k and i want deep bass with good noise cancellation. Basically I am a trance n edm lover so accordingly i want a earphone, preferably in-ear!!! Thanks!!!

  32. M looking for earphones under 3k. I need crisp and Crystal clear sound with deep bass . Finally I choose Sony MDR -XB70AP. Due to xb90ex not in stock anywhere. Is my decision correct ? Do u have another options ?

  37. Hi.. please suggest me good quality earplugs with pure / clear sound. Cant say about budget because don;t know how much does a good quality earphone cost.. but I am ok with anything under 5k..

  40. I’m Confuse b/w senheiser in ear CX 180 and on ear JBL T250SI Headphone which is better suggests plz

  41. I’m looking for earphones with more bass and good quality of sound in range of 800-900 Rs. Is sennheiser cx180 better or there is some other option for me.

  42. Hello sir. Can you please recommend me headphones with similar features/sound quality as those you get with the headphones you get with moto E /G .
    Thank you

  43. I’m looking for earphones with more volume i.e. more sensitivity. can you suggest me for each one, on the ear and in the ear.(mic must be included).

  44. Hi,

    Can you please suggest the best ear phones in above list for Ear(some of the review says effect ear long hours of listening)?

  45. Do we get audio technica in india?
    I hade got one from abroad but after long time of usage they have now got over with their audio jack pin.

  46. MI PISTON 2 …You should add them, I have around 7 Costly earphones & headphones, but these Pistons just Best than anyone for just Rs. 799 ,

  51. You guys missed the best of the all.. Mi pistons 2. Yes that are the best in the budget. Better than cx 180 and twin woofers. And also better than es 18. It is the best just because of its amazing sound quality plus inclusion of mic and controls. Mic and controls are a rarity in this budget isn’t it? If you doubt it, take a look at the full hands on review on MI pistons 2 on my website, and I suggest you include pistons too in the list.
