[Nerevarine]

I need the best headphones available for around Rs 500.. I am a casual gamer and more of a movie watcher. I have shortlisted

Good VFM, no mic though, bought it from Flipkart for 330/- a few months back, they're charging 482/- for it now , try to get it cheaper elsewhere,

Good for music(bass, treble, clarity) as well as for vocals.

Yeah!! I agree with it....Go for SHP 1900 and you will never regret

+1 for shp-1900.
If you want IEM you can go for JVC Marshmellows.

But neither of them has a mic.

If you want a mic you have to sacrifice sound quality

 

[Nerevarine]

Although I dont use a mic all that often, a mic would be nice
How about this SHM1900.. it seems identical to SHP1900 but with a mic

The reviews over there are mixed. Get SHP1900.


Btw, what do you need a Microphone for? Gaming or VOIP?


If for VOIP, get a cheapo headphone for 100 bucks. They do the job well.

Phillips SPH-1900 is way to go, I am using it and the SQ is great, its having full cup and its very comfortable for long usage.

There could be sweating if you use it for long time since the cups having some rubber/plastic covers so no air flow.

The sound is really nice with this one High and Mids are quite good, BASS is okish(maybe I am wrong since I was using IEMs for so long).

I think SPH - 1900 is more suited for movies and games.

all right, ill get the SHP1900, ill be ordering from koovs, theres a cashback offer there.. can anyone confirm that koovs is as good as letsbuy/flipkart ?

Here's my take on this:

Earphones below 500 rs go for phillips
Earphones below 900 go for SoundMagic
Earphones below 1500 go for Tekfusion Twinwoofers - Highly recommended for bass
Earphones above 1500, go for Klipsch

One more tip: Best place to buy earphones will be Flipkart! though you can try other online stores as well!

Simple & Easy

Koovs may not be as good as flipkart... but it looks trustworthy. Search for customer experiences on google before buying... btw, Is SHP1900 available on koovs? I could not find it...

 

[Nerevarine]

ahhh crap, SHP1900 was there on koovs like two days ago, now its not :/ there was a cashback of Rs 110 on it too .. flipkart then
