Competition in the earphone market In India has been rising. It is yet to reach a level the same as the smartphone market, however.

These factors also affect the release time of their products.

These brands are few but capable enough to make a serious difference. One such brand is Audio Technica. This company has been widely appreciated for the excellent quality products, which are budget friendly in the Indian market and offers excellent value.

One of the bestselling earphones of the Audio Technica brand is ATH-CLR100. This earphone set became available in India a few years back. Since then it has attracted a good number of sales. You can purchase this earphone set as low as 650 rupees.

Superior Audio Quality: No other best-selling top earphones of the budget segment can match the audio quality of this Audio Technica earphone. The end user would get an immersive experience while listening to music on it.

At medium volumes, the audio of this Audio Technica remains well balanced. While listening to a rock track, it almost felt like I was using a premium Bose earphone. It generates accurate Mids, punchy bass, and sharp treble.

However, the earphone starts suffering when you increase the volume up to 100 percent. The treble increases while bass becomes silent. Still, I believe this earphone is a perfect device for casual listener considering the price point. I enjoyed my time with it. You cannot get more than this from a budget device.

Highly Comfortable: Audio Technica ships three pairs of ear tips of different sizes with this earphone. You can use the pair that fits your ears. The manufacturer has made these ear tips with ultra-soft materials for better comfort.

I used this earphone for hours without experiencing any pain or discomfort. A disc-like cord winder that comes in the box helps a lot in the handling of the product and stops its cord from tangling.

Average Build Quality: Although this device is super-comfortable, I am not happy with Audio Technica’s choice of materials while making it. The cord feels cheap and can easily break. The housing of the 3.5-mm audio jack is not durable, though only time would tell how long it lasts.

Pros:-

• Generates immersive audio
• Super comfortable ear tips
• Lightweight

Cons:-

• No microphone
• No inline remote
• Bass is not that great

Verdict: The Audio Technica ATH-CLR100 is not a heavy bass earphone. Still, it is an excellent choice if you are looking for a pair of excellent earphones below 700 Rupees. It generates balanced audio, though adds some level of spiciness to the tracks. Moreover, it lacks inline remote and microphone is a big disappointment. Many people would not purchase this great earphone due to its inability to make calls.

► Philips SHE3900 In-Ear Earphone without MIC

Philips SHE3900 is an excellent earphone under 700 Rupees. It has all the essential features, and it is capable of generating a loud and clear sound. Philips brand made it available in black, gold, silver, and pink color. Based on the different response to different color variants, its prices vary in the range of 500 to 700 rupees.

An ideal earphone will have low impedance, high power input, big size driver unit, improved sensitivity, and Neodymium magnet. Philips SHE3900 earphone comes with these essential traits. Yes, it will work on all mobile phones.

Some users might get an inadequate response to low standard devices, however. The reason is the PET Diaphragm. Philips SHE3900 usages a diaphragm with PET film membrane to generate sound waves. This technology is old and not perfect fit with today’s gadget.

No doubt about it that Philips SHE3900 is a decent earphone. Buying it wouldn’t be a mistake. However, there are many better alternatives from JBL and boAt brand on sale in the online market.

► Philips ActionFit Sports Earphone {SHQ1200}

The ActionFit series of Philips earphones are meant to use during an intense workout. Philips ActionFit SHQ1200 earphone can keep you in a good mood while your body is releasing unwanted fats. It, however, is not fully compatible with all types of audio players. Its 32-ohm impedance suggests that it has to be plugged with a sound system with a powerful amplifier for desirable loudness. The high sensitivity level of 110-dB is a much-needed feature to work with less power audio players.

While even pricey earphones usually have 8 to 10-mm speaker driver, this Philips earphone comes with 13.5-mm speaker driver. That proves it can generate loud and clear sound. Philips used Mylar dome for speaker’s diaphragm.

An assessment of overall specifications presents a confused picture of this Philips earphone. The balance between impedance and maximum power input is a total mismatch. The ActionFit SHQ1200 has high impedance, which means it requires a higher input for a louder output. However, Philips has limited the maximum input to 10-mW, so it cannot be used with a powerful amplifier.

Now, look at this. Its impedance figure is forcing to use with a sound player with a powerful amplifier whereas the power input figure restricts its use with a powerful audio system. Still, this Philips earphone will work with all types of smartphones and feature phones.
