Yash Khatri • Updated March 27, 2020 • 5 min read •

It is said that music keeps a person going even on a bad day and everyone loves a good pair of headphone and we recently brought you our list of the best in-ear headphones available in the market and today we bring for you an exhaustive list of all the headphones either on-ear headphones or over-ear headphones you can buy in India as of now. So let’s start.

1. Sony MDR-ZX110A

Kicking things off with the cheapest headphone on our list the MDR ZX110A is priced at Rs. 599 and gets all the basics right with a decent sound profile, 30 mm dynamic driver and a comfortable design. The ZX110A is a must buy for someone who’s searching for a good pair of headphones on a budget, these are also on sale most of the times and I’ve seen them for as low as Rs. 349 so this holiday season is the best to grab a pair.

 Headphones Pros:
Good sound
Brand ValueCons:
Made of plastic
Lacks Bass

 

Buy from Amazon

2. Motorola Pulse 2 SH005

A decent budget offering from Motorola the Pulse 2 come in at a price of Rs. 849 and offer a great vibrant and open sound profile. The headphones have a 36 mm driver unit inside and come with a detachable wire along with a foldable design for better portability. The price of these tend to fluctuate so keep an eye out for them, the lowest I have seen them go is around Rs. 600.

 Headphone Pros:

FlexibleCons:

Buy from Amazon or Flipkart

3. Sennheiser HD 180

These need no introduction and are probably the most well-known pair of headset, on a budget. The HD180 offers a crisp and clear sound profile with Good highs, Mids and decent lows. The only downside to these would be the low bass and an extremely low volume output which these offers. I have been personally using them for about 2 years now and they work well and are decently comfortable. If you have a device with an external DAC or one with a good sound card this headphone is a dream to listen to music on. For a price of Rs. 899 if you can get over its low audio output and low bass these are the best pair of earphones you can pick for under a thousand rupees.
