dudes, i require a h.phone NOT earphones. budget is a max of 3-3.5k. noise cancellation is imp (but i guess my budget is too less for that). anyways, most important is it must have strong bass. pls advise

check Sennheiser PX-300 active noise cancelling headphones. Should be around 3k. Better test it before buying. They do have good bass but how much you want, I don't know. :)

since active noise cancellation does not depend on size of earcups, look for something that is small yet powerful. yes, the last one looks good but isn't it 5k?

Without bill and warranty. Yes. I think you can try at palika bazaar :)

But Believe me, PX-300 will be a better choice.
