Headphones under ₹1500

Can headphones explode? A wired headphone set will never explode. However, battery-powered headphones can explode while charging and when in use continuously for many hours.

Which is the best headphone under 1500 Rupees? This review article covers the best-selling headphones in the 1000 to 1500 Rupees range.  The recommended headphones are from the top speaker brands in the Indian market and are currently a top favorite of buyers.

☼ 40-mm Boult ProBass Thunder Bluetooth Headphone

The Boult Audio headphone looks promising. Its audio quality is good, but the build quality is so-so. Actually, 1100 Rupees, which is the price of the ProBass Thunder model, isn't sufficient for high-quality wireless headphones. You must have at least 3000 Rupees in your pocket as per the current market trend.

The brand spent its manufacturing costs wisely. In comparison to the build, more money was spent on the speaker driver. That is indeed a good thing.

The Boult Audio Bluetooth headphone has a 40-mm speaker driver on both sides. Because of its big size and top-heavy design, the speaker driver generates crisp, clear sound with extra bass. I can assure you that either you will love the audio quality or you will not dislike it. You will not hate the audio for sure.

Coming to its build, this wire-free headphone seems fragile and hence easily breakable. That becomes even more evident with its weight, which is just 200 grams.

The Boult Audio ProBass Thunder Bluetooth wireless headphone is described here in terms of their sound quality and build quality. It has more features, though. You will know them in our video presentation, which is linked below.

I would recommend the Boult Audio ProBass Thunder headphone for 1100 Rupees, but not for 1500 Rupees. Buy it if still available at its current market price.

☼ 50-mm boAt Rockerz 510 Wireless Headphones

This boAt headphone can connect through a wire as well. Being a Bluetooth speaker, it connects wirelessly to all devices with Bluetooth connectivity.

A nicely designed control panel is on one of the earpads of this boAt Bluetooth headphones. Moreover, it is also a fit headphone for jogging, listening to music while working out in a gym, and watching movies. Whether you prefer to listen to pop hits, Indian Films music, or Classical, Boat Rockerz 510 is a fit choice for you. Besides, it is also compatible with all kinds of smartphones.

Look-wise, boAt Rockerz 510 is better than the Rockerz 600. It has an appealing design, a hip-hop type of design. Therefore, it is a Bluetooth headphone for college students and teenagers. Being the product of a brand like boAt, it comes with the outstanding build quality. Not to forget, its audio output quality is as good as that the Boat Rockerz 600 creates.

► MuveAcoustics Impulse2Pro Headphone

MuveAcoustics is one of the best headphone brands in India market. This brand sells superior sounding headphones with a durable build quality at affordable prices. The Impulse2Pro wireless Bluetooth headphone model of this brand is one of the top headphones under 1500 Rupees currently on the market. Those who have bought it and being entertained by it regularly have rated it with an average of 4.6-Point. That is indeed an incredible rating for a low cost, cheap headphones whose current market price is just 1290 Rupees.

MuveAcoustics Impulse2Pro headphone is an excellent choice for listening to songs. It may not be the right headphone model if you want your new headphone to excel also in hands-free calling.

The build quality of this wireless Bluetooth headphone is outstanding and its design is very impressive. Also, it looks very stylish. Its gross weight is disappointing, though. I personally prefer lightweight headphones.

MuveAcoustics Impulse2PRO Wireless Headphone is moderately overweight due to its large battery. I must bring to your notice that despite the price of this headphone, its battery quality is outstanding. The 300-mAh battery quickly fuels up, reaches to 100% in less than 2-Hours.

► Motorola Escape 200 Wireless Headphone

No doubt about it that boAt Rockerz 400 is the best headphone under 1500 Rupees. This Indian brand headphone has so far recorded more than 1.5-Lakh ratings at Flipkart. With that many ratings, its current rating stands at 4.3. That is indeed incredible.

The headphones from Motorola are also highly recommended options from 1000 to 1500 Rupees range currently. Their design and ability to produce loud sound with balanced bass have been appreciated by the users.

The latest Motorola wireless headphones under 1500 Rupees are Motorola Escape 200 and Escape 210. These are Bluetooth headphone with MIC. Having Google Assistant, Siri, and Alexa built-in means they can be controlled by voice commands as well.

Escape 200 is an over-the-ear headphone, whereas Escape 210 is an on-the-ear headphone. These Motorola Bluetooth headphones are though similar in terms of build quality, sound quality, and performance. Also, they feature the same 40-mm speaker driver for generating loud and clear sound with balanced bass.

What I like the best about these Motorola headphones is that they can produce the audio the way it should be. No frequency level is over-pronounced or under-pronounced. You will hear crisp, clear, loud sound with balanced bass.

The build quality of these Motorola Bluetooth headsets is not impressive, however. Apparently, it is an issue not just with these two wirelesses headphone models, but also with Motorola smartphone, and other products on sale.

► DRUMS Wireless Stereo Headphone

DRUMS is not yet a well-known headphone brand in India market. However, its wireless Bluetooth headphone model number MDR-17EX.BT is presently one of the best-selling headphones under 1500 Rupees.

Apparently, the headphone is much more than just a headphone. It has built-in FM Radio, MicroSD card port, Microphone for hands-free calling, and lasting battery as well.

More features mean more weight. So, the weight of this DRUMS earphone is a way more than the ideal weight of a wireless headphone. Sony CH500 wireless headphone with 20-Hours battery backup weighs just 140-grams. However, the weight of Drums MDR-17EX.BT headphone is 408-Grams.

This DRUMS headphone is overweight for a reason, but it is overweight. That is a fact. Its massive weight will give you headache within an hour of use.

However, the build and design of this 1500 Rupees headphone are very impressive. It was much better than what we had presumed. So, is its sound quality. Also, its connectivity is fast and reliable.

I am not a big fan of sound with over-pronounced bass. That is why this DRUMS headphone could impress me by its ability to produce loud and clear sound with well-balanced Bass. Look for something else if you want deep, heavy over-amplified bass in the audio.

► Audio Technica ATH-S100 Headphone

36-mm speaker drive unit in the speakers is a certification that this Audio-Technica headphone produces loud and clear audio. It is light in weight and foldable. Therefore, it is a sound choice for those likes to have a good quality budget headphone in their travel suitcase for entertainment while on the move.

Audio-Technica ATH-S100 headphone produces loud and clear sound with a natural mix of background instruments and vocals. It neither overplays nor underplays any of the beats in the music. This is an incredible factor especially for a budget headphone from 1000 to 1500 Rupees price range.

Even at noise cancellation front, this headphone set offers good results by keeping a fair amount of ambient noise out. You could enjoy your personal songs collection on it even in a crowded bus, metro or in a garden. Rest assured it will deliver loud and clear sound with deep bass irrespective of noise around you.

A decent build quality, superior sound quality, and accurate pricing make Audio Technica ATH-S100 my favorite choice. Its audio delivery beats my expectation. Honestly, such good sound quality was not expected from a headphone in 1500 Rupees. If I have to rank this headphone on the scale of one to five points, I will give 5 points to its audio delivery, 3.5 points for its design, whereas only 2.5 Points for its build quality.
