Earphones on a Budget

[MetalheadGautham]

Budget upto Rs. 200. I need a cheap and nice sounding pair of cans for my mp3 player which has a 3.5mm jack. If only 2.5mm earphones are available, I don't mind using converter.

Sound quality should be clear and flat output is prefered, and I DONT want to miss out on the bass.

Need a good build since I sleep with earphones sometimes in tight jeans pocket, and my earphones constantly find themselves falling on the floor from a hight of 6 feet.

I was suggested Creative EP-50 worth Rs. 180 by krates. Any opinion ?

bump. money running out fast. there are only so many days I can last without bhelpuri. please suggest me something before I eat the money away which I formerly saved for digit december or lfy december.

 

[krates]

or you can even get I-MUZIK earphones for 150 lol

 

[MetalheadGautham]

200 is the limit.

I don't want sh!tty chinese stuff thankyou. I tested a pair of Rs. 150 chinese cans, and they barely came close to my Rs. 50/- Philips SBC9630.

I had a pair of Philips earphones b4 I got my ep-630s. They had decent bass and cost only Rs.150. Cant remember the exact model number though.

edit:: They looked exactly like this pair but dont know if they had the same model no.

hmmm... I also see several headphones in this price range. are they worth it ? I hear they give great bass...

 

[anispace]

^^yup the pair that I had was really good for its price. Well its no ep630 but at 1/6 the price its good.

 

[krates]

ep 50 sounds better than philips one why don't you give it a try @ any shop...

 

[MetalheadGautham]

EP-50. Please give me some pics. I never saw it in any shop.

Would it be available in musicworld or Planet-M in Bangalore ?

form your Original Post, How can you have a flat output and not miss out on bass?? Weirdly contradicting statements.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

^^What I mean is, if not flat output, I atleast need decent bass.

Flat ouput does not miss out on ANYTHING, because its completely flat, and all frequencies are equally clear.

Anyway, I am going to planet-m in a few days. Hope I see this model.
Would they offer any discount if I also buy a Philips SBC9630 ?
My sister needs a (much more) cheap pair of cans and I am buying her those.
