Suggest the best possible headphones within rs2000/-. My main uses are for watching movies & listening to music & not at all for gaming.i already have a sennheiser hd201 but its volume & bass are low.so suggest me some other brands.please post the prices also.thank you.

Philips SHP 2700/97....then for the purpose of TV watching only there is some SHP2500/97, but costs less than SHP2700/97. Sony MDR Headphones are available too within 2k. To be honest HD201 is nothing compared to these. HD201 costs a premium due to brand value, not due to performance.

then tell us which models available in your budget are with good bass.

You did not comment about XDR 100 and XDR 200 from sony, sony has very few headsets in range. beside that only Sennheiser HD201, HD202 and HD437
You can get good earphones with quiet a good bass.

Have been using SHP 2500 has been good to my ears anyhow. SHP2700 is much better and its bass is very good, same for sony XDR 200. LOL you just say what is affordable to you no and when said beyond budget u obviously will say its beyond budget.

Mate u should tell us whats in your mind :D

+1 man... Philips is better, have used sony too.

have been using the Philips SHP2500 .. its very good..conforatable. though it doesnt have huge bass but At that price this is a gr8 awesome buy... so for high bass I will buy the another. I still have to decide which one. I also have creative ep-630 on my wishlist. damm gadgets wishlist bever ends..


for Rs.1600 - Phlips 8500 is a good bet. looks good. should sound better.
3 meter wire and gold plated connector :)
