5 Best headphones we reviewed recently
Headphones are quite personal and there is nothing really like a perfect fit for all. The choice of headphones is unique to each and every music lover. The common perception of anything that is bass-heavy is good is totally a myth. Not every music lover is necessarily a basshead. Also, some people enjoy music at relatively low volume levels. Here are five good headphones that we reviewed recently.
1) Sony h.ear on MDR-100ABN
At Rs 21,999, the MDR-100ABN is a worthy investment for someone looking forward to buying high-quality noise canceling headphones. Even when compared to the likes of Bose, the MDR-100ABN is a versatile choice. More than the audio quality, this pair of headphones is perfect for people who prioritize silence and love to listen to music at lower volume levels.
2) AudioTechnica ATH-WS550iS Solid Bass headphones
AudioTechnica have created a great pair of headphones, with superb sound quality, perfect for the bass head who wants quality burst of bass. However, these need a bit of power to perform well, so it's best used with a MP3 player or phone with a DAC and Amplifier like the FiiO Players or the Lenovo X3 Vibe or K4 Note. The headphones are available for approximately Rs 5000 online.
3) Corsair Void headset
The Corsair Void is a good buy for lovers of wireless gaming headsets, with customizable-RGB lighting being an added bonus. With a price tag of Rs 10,999, it is definitely going to give a tough competition like HyperX and Roccat.
4) Bose QC25 Limited Edition
Bose QC25 Limited Edition headphones have just the right mix to make them a great headset. The active noise cancellation works well and the sound too is great. However, what may make many shy away from these headphones is the price tag, the headphones sport a price tag of approximately Rs 25,200. But for those who are ready to pay, it’s an absolute delight.
5) Sony MDR XB650BT
Sony MDR XB650BT headphones too are among one of the best over-the-ear headphones reviewed by us in recent times. They offer a pleasant sound experience and the no-cable design further enhances adds to the package. The battery backup is also great and it takes only four hours to completely charge the headphones. The headphones are priced at Rs 7,990.
