Need new headphones under 1.5k

[shivakanth.sujit]

Hey all!

My first post in the audio section, so pardon me if I don't give enough info

Before anything else, can anyone please explain the diff between ear bud and iems?? Am very confused
As the title suggests I need a pair of headphones/iems/earbuds under 1.5k

Uses : Gaming, movies, music. I don't prefer any specific genre though.

Please also suggest a pair under 1k as the budget is bit unstable

Thanks in Advance,

Shiva

IEM:

Difference is pretty visual, IEM provide better isolation and fit.. More info: What

In the budget of 1.5k, some suggestions:

Thanks, was confused about that for a long time. Can u give any suggestions below 1k??.

Also I somehow prefer headphones for their look. Can you suggest some for both 1 and 1.5k? Or are iems better at this budget?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't headphones better for gaming??

How are these??Sony MDR ZX300

yes, for games, headphones are better, but these better headphones are mostly out of your budget, in under 1.5k, these headphones would be best for gaming and OK for music: Sony MDR-XB400/BQE Headphones Price in India - Buy Sony MDR-XB400/BQE Headphones Online - Sony: Flipkart.com, plenty of bass which would add that thump factor in fps..

Options for IEM under 1k are given in previous post.

Thanks, but I'm kind of biased towards headphones as I'm going to mostly game with these. Can you suggest some for my budget??
