Need a new In Ear type Headphone, primarily for Gaming.
Can stretch price up to 1k :D
Primarily Feature required: - Noise Cancellation and Good Bass. :wink:

Will prefer to buy online from Flipkart or Pristine-Note :)

Hey you can check these out:
Panasonic:
Flipkart.com: Panasonic RP-DJ100E-S Headphone: Headphone
Philips:
Philips SHP2500 @ ₹684 or Philips SHP2700 @ ₹ 1105
I have used similar old and discontinued model for gaming(cs, war3 ect for 3-4yrs) but they aren't noise cancelling headphones but their audio quality is very good at this price.
You can also try skulcandy or sennheiser headphones within 1k.

Marshmellow is good, you can buy that, or see if you can buy a PL30 for 1.3k(very rare), it can blow all sub 2k IEMs out of the water and then some.

noise "cancellation" is sub-1k budget is not possible

skullcandy sucks, in general, like windows vista sucks in general
AT is kinda high end brand,

Marshmellow is good, you can buy that, or see if you can buy a PL30 for 1.3k(very rare), it can blow all sub 2k IEMs out of the water and then some.
afaik, pl30 being phased out, ep30
Marshmellow better VFM.

I love the Sennheiser CX180s...

I would say get them for 1.3k

One of the best IEMs I've ever owned.
