I m looking for a Supra-aural wireless Headphone around at Rs.2000.I prefer good sound quality & ease of use & would like to use with Laptop as well as with my mobile phone.I know that Brands like Senneheiser start at 4k & I don't have that budget.I do like wireless because of the comfort it provides.

I have done a little bit reasearch & found out a few ones which are listed below.

1. iBall BT-36 Bluetooth Headphone at 2k on ebay

iBall BT36i Bluetooth Wireless Headset Headphone Built-In Battery Red Color | eBay

2.Lenovo W770 Headset

Lenovo W770 Headset - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

I know wireless headphones lack music quality unlike the wired ones.If the music quality is good,please suggest me one from the list or any other one.

I personally like the iBall Bt-36 because of the design but don't know about its sound quality.

NB:Regarding the iBall one,it is pretty rare in the market now if that means anything

Cheap wireless headphones aren't good. DO you specifically need a wireless headphone or wired ones will do too.

I prefer a wireless one.If it isn't wireless,I may prefer one on a lesser budget.Still suggestions are welcome for both types on 2k budget

This one sounds good if not great has the smoothness and adequate details when not played at extreme levels.

So this is my best bet at 2k..Isn't it?

A slight confusion..There appears to be some confusion.There appears to be 2 models with same model no. with slight variation.
SBH4000 & SBH4000WT.What is the exact model you referred to?

If you want Bass you can go for the Philips SHC 2000/10 but it has issues.

I couldnt find any flipkart reviews for the SBH 4000.

How was the music quality?Also the model seems pretty old..right?The reviews from flipkart dates back from Dec 2011.
Also I prefer the headphones over IEMs though..Looking forward to use at Home with my PC.

I am not a bass ahead..but if it is below in comparison with normal level,I would not like to buy it.

If wireless headphone lacks decent quality,I would prefer wired ones over wireless ones.So I am also looking for wired Headphone at 1.5 k.

I would like your piece of advice -wireless or wired?Also suggest wired ones @ 1.5k.How about Audiotechnica SJ33?

Audiotechnica SJ33 is easygoing and not analytic,hence not too much in to detailing.I havnt heard it personally but thats what AT s are at that price point.

I didn't get you...What do you meant by the source, Is it quality audio/video you are referring to?

Yep..that's true..I have a Sony Vaio i5 laptop with "Clear Audio" technology,for which I am intending to buy..I didn't get how a decent Laptop affect Sound Quality,though?

Your Laptop is OK. If you want even better sound then you would need a USB DAC/AMp. Now thats for another day. Get the Denon first. At Rs 2700 theres hardly any Senn or Sony I know of sound that warm and good. Yes it has Bass leanings,but that is not at the cost of upper midrange and treble extensions and decay.

I am looking forward to buy Denon in the coming days.About the Bass is concerned,I prefer sound quality over Bass.So low Bass is not a major issue for me.

Regarding the purchase,I found Reliance Digital store sells this model @ Rs.1700 ,(1000 less than Flipkart).
Here is the site below.Shop for Denon AH D310R Headphone, Black at Reliance Digital

Still they are not located near my city & there is no purchase available from the site.I am wondering,how they can sell at this pricepoint?

NB:I have enquired at Reliance Store.They said there was no stock available & no shipping available..This model is available in few stores & so if I make an order ,there will be some delay for getting hands on it..

Rs 1700,even I will order one. Yes it has Bass,which is better than no Bass that cans at this level comes with. The Denons bass is not a mid bass hump like Auduio Technica M-30 the Denon goes real deep. If you find it too much reduce the equalizer a notch,thats all.What matters is the sound signature which is very warm and dark which will not cause fatigue over long listening sessions nor will it sound bad with less than perfect recordings.
