Headphones: ₹2000 – ₹3000

Are you looking for the best low-price headphones? In this piece, you read about the top headphones from 2000 to 3000 Rupees price range. Our effort is to suggest to you the best headphones with mic and without mic, which are very rich in terms of producing music as they are composed.

On the Gadgets Shiksha website, we often get queries to suggest high-bass headphones. However, I think one should buy a headphone, which is capable of producing a natural sound. When the music producer of the song composed it with more Jhankaar beats, listening to it with forced Bass makes no sense. The listener would not get the real feel of the song.

In my opinion, the best headphone is the one that produces a natural sound. If a song has clear Bass, the headphones should be capable of playing it with the same level of Bass. Indian music, whether it is filmy or classical gives more emphasis to Jhankaar beats than Bass.  Therefore, if you want to get a real feel of Arijit Singh's Songs or any Indian music, listen to them on a headphone that produces a natural sound.

Which are the best headphone companies in the Indian market? For headphones under 3000 Rupees, the favorite brands in the market are Philips, Sony, JBL, Sennheiser, boAt, and Skullcandy. I am personally a huge fan of Philips and Sony brands.
