Earphones at around Rs. 500

A

Sennheiser MX 170 costs Rs. 480 and MX 270 costs about Rs. 570. How good are these earphones ?

I am looking for earhones to use while travelling in the metro and mostly in outdoor areas with a quite a bit of noise. Will these be good enough ?
I dont want to spend more than Rs. 500 on earphones at the moment.

W

in my opinion there is no better option than soundmagic ES18 for Rs.430 in below 1000 range.

A

Where can i get ES18 for 430 ? Flipkart has them at 570 ..

H

Are you sure they are legitimate ones, I think Sennheiser earphones are more priced than that...

A

They are available on Flipkart and i also saw them in Croma and Reliance Digital. So, yeah, they should be legit

i am using ES18 since more than a month. (a bit too) loud and excellent noise cancellation.

Does it have to earphone? What about cool headphones?

Philips SHS 390 Headphone | Headphone | Flipkart.com

Its rs 421 @ shopping.indiatimes.They also have a 10% discount on SBI CC owners.so it will be about rs 379,very cheap isnt it?

Just Got ES 18 From Flipkart and trust me its the best for the price beats my cx 95 that I got for 1k....can easily beat skull candy

Bulky? In what sense? If you are referring to weight, then SHS390 is one of most lightest headphones I have ever held.

at least in my case indiatimes shopping service was good but then i am in NCR,Delhi(ordered 2 times ES18).

Get Soundmagic ES18 and be happy with it.

Inditimes shopping and 2 days? Wow!! When did you buy it?

ordered on saturday and the courier guys {blue dart} called me on monday afternoon to deliver but i couldn't take the phone.so got it tuesday.i think its the courier thats fast since the indiatimes site mentioned the delivery date as 19th

I too ordered SM ES18 @ 379 using GC code which is valid till today 16th august. Let see how prompt are they in delivering the products in mumbai
I guess anyone having SBI Credit cards may get total of 20% disc from indiatimes. Just hurry up......

A

Any other option ? Es 18 is out of stock on FP and I dont want to buy from Indiatimes.

do not worry. Smc international is the vendor.
I was also skeptical initially but was highly impressed by package. It took me 15 mins to open it up.

got my ES18 from SMC too. delivered in 4 days time.

Buy Philips SHE3590. Period.

Best quality in-ear phones you can buy for rs.410/- it beats creatives and non-creatives hands down, speaking out of experience.

Build quality 10/10
Audio quality 9/10
VFM - 10/10

btw its available on flipkart @410/-.
