However, Boat has introduced such an affordable premium headphone so early. One side of the ear cup holds a control panel to control, connect, and manage calls, songs, and volume levels. The placement of the control panel is utterly futuristic.

The Build and Design is the primary reason why we recommend these boAt headphones set. The headband is adjustable, although its default adjustment will work fine for most users. Moreover, the headphone is neither too soft, so it does not exert painful press on ears, nor it is too flexible so that it could fall quickly. Instead, the toughness of the headphone is about perfect.

The battery on this Boat Headphone is quite powerful hence lasting. After a year and two use, if battery backup seems to be not up to a mark, no problem, visit the nearest Boat headphone showroom and get it replaced.

The headphone is named BASS+. Does it have clear BASS in the audio produced? What I love about these headphones is that despite being affordable – sound very natural. Thus, when there is BASS in the audio, you hear clear Bass. When there is no BASS, you do not get machine-generated BASS. This makes sense. When the music producer created the audio file with lower BASS, why do you want to hear it with machine-produced BASS? Philips SHL3175 headphone is one of the best closed-back Bass headphones under 1500 Rupees you could buy currently.

Also, these headphones are super light in weight for comfortable wearing. Also, the design of these headphones is on-ear which makes them pretty stylish to look at.

► 40-mm Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Headphone with MIC

The Mi Bluetooth headphone is one of the best-selling headphones under 2000 Rupees, currently. The main reason for its popularity is the Xiaomi brand name and its specifications. However, does it worth it? Can it produce crystal clear sound with powerful bass?

If you are a Xiaomi brand fan, then go ahead, and buy this wireless headphone. Because it is tough to convince a real Xiaomi fan. However, if you care about sound quality, wearing comfort, and durability factor, then read carefully what I am going to say about this Mi headphone.

The Mi Bluetooth headphone is very impressive on paper. Its performance, however, is not what it is on paper. Its 40-mm speaker driver does not deliver sound like a real 40-mm driver. Also, the audio clarity is not as impressive as one would expect from a brand like Xiaomi. The bass in the audio is not well balanced, withal.

As far as build quality is concerned, this MI wireless headphone looks excellent. It comes with a powerful battery, which has 20 hours of epic battery life. Also, its Bluetooth version is 5.0. Will it remain intact after 6 months, even if it is used with care? I don’t think so. It has been proven again and again that the average life of Xiaomi products is around 6 months.

If not this Xiaomi Mi headphone, then what? In my opinion, Sony X450 is the best headphone under 2000 Rupees. It, however, is a wired headphone, not a wireless headphone. If you are sure that you need a wireless headphones under 2000 Rupees, then this Mi Bluetooth headphone is indeed a fantastic choice.

Further, the speaker drivers have a neodymium magnet for powerful bass. The design of earcups actively cuts maximum ambient noise, withal. Thus, here is a headphone for listening to music with maximum comfort and without external disturbance.

A wireless headphone is useless without a powerful battery. The weight of the Syska SoundPro HSB3000 is 249 grams only. However, its powerful battery could last up to 10 hours after being charged to 100% in 3 hours approx. Indeed, this 1700 Rupees headphone features an excellent quality battery.

► 57-mm Bluedio Turbine 2 Bluetooth Headphone

Bluedio T2 is one of the best-selling headphones under 2000 Rupees currently. You could trust it for loud and clear audio because of its huge 57-mm speaker driver. Its support to the frequency response range of 20Hz – 20KHz means it can produce all the hearable sound frequencies. The quality of bass in the audio is not that impressive, though. I am not saying that the bass in the audio is weak. I am only saying that it could have been more pronounced.

The build and design of Bluedio Turbine 2 or Bluedio T2 headphones are mind-blowing, but it is also too heavy. Its gross weight is more than 300 grams. So, it may not be a perfect headphone for music listeners like me who gets a headache because of heavyweight headphone. On the other hand, because of the closed-back design, the users get an isolated experience, which is good for movie watching and gaming.

This Bluetooth headphone can be connected to an audio-producing system through a wire also. Moreover, it comes with an SD-Card slot to play songs from a microSD card.

Bluedio Turbine 2 Bluetooth Headphone is worth it at its current market price. We recommend it.
