I was drop dead confused between Apple AirPods wireless charging case and the Sony WF-1000XM3 which many believed including me to be the best earbuds.

But Google lead me to this site BuyGuru and post of best earbuds under 15000 which mentioned Samsung Galaxy EarBuds Pro as the best.
Needless i took a leap of faith and I don't know how Sony earbuds sound but I have been really glad I bought what I did.

I did manage to compare with airpods and the Samsung Galaxy Ear Buds Pro do sound a ton more full and better to me.

Putting it out here because many of us go for Sony, Apple but i do think these Samsung Galaxy Ear Buds Pro are really better.
Edit: i use the WH-1000XM3 and love them!

Tried here?

Jabra Elite 65t are currently going on sale for 2999 bucks on Amazon and Flipkart. So those looking for these, can buy. For me, I was tempted for the price, but the type c charger unavailability is a deal breaker, given all of my devices have switched to type c charger.

Any suggestions for wired headphones/earphones with mic strictly under 2000 ₹ ? I'll be using these for music and the daily stand-up call only. I've gone through this thread but all the headphones are way out of my budget.

Boat bassheads 900. My son uses it for his classes, tuitions and his entertainment. It's a fairly good performer. Could be a tad too tight for some. Sound is good. even if it's inexpensive!

Redgear cosmo 7.1 is another one.

After many iterations with other products, ordered apple AirPod pro. Following are the main advantages
1. seamless connectivity and automatic switching between the Apple products : Phone , Mac and Watch
2. Active Noise cancellation

Check out the OneOdio headphones on amazon. Sound quality is amazing . You'll feel the fit is a bit tight though at first , will adjust with time.

Seamless connectivity with Apple TV as well. It’s truly amazing how easy life becomes with the Air Pods Pro if one is settled into the Apple ecosystem.

Looking for an external speaker with in-built microphone for my Dell Laptop (office provided). The speaker quality is deteriorating, I have lengthy calls to take and using the headphones is giving me a bad headache.

I looked at the Jabra external speaker but it costs a bomb. Any other options under 3 K please.

Connection interface could be either through USB or 3.5 mm jack.

My main requirement is to audio output and microphone access in the same unit.

I recently bought the Audiotechnica M-40x around-the-ear headphones. To my layman ears they sound fantastic. However, I do have one issue with the fit.

However loose or tight I make the band, and irrespective of where on my head or ears I place the cups, it presses hard against the mid-lower-back of my Left earlobe (specifically the cartilage there) and it hurts quite a bit.

The problem is only in the Left cup.

To test this, I turned the 'phones around and placed the cups on the opposite ears; and the pressing and pain was on the Right earlobe at the same cartilage.

I would welcome any suggestions on how to overcome this.

The 'phones are not visibly damaged in any way.

Thanks and cheers

I have the m40x too among other AT 'phones and I noticed that the AT-Mxx series come with pretty sad ear pads which contribute to the discomfort. Try getting 3rd party memory foam pads from Brainwavz or other decent brands. I got these and the pain near the lobe stopped. YMMV of course and after market parts may affect the sound a bit, so please be aware. Amazon India has these in stock. There are too many variations in human ears and head shapes so some headphones will fit you well while others wont.

Thank you for the helpful response.

I found it odd that none of the YouTube reviews I watched before buying these (and I think I have probably watched every video there that exists on these headphones other than the ones in Hindi) mentioned anything about this. Anyway, I love the sound reproduction on these - I literally have been hearing instruments that I never knew were featured in some of the songs I am so familiar with.

I did look into some of the aftermarket pads, but none of them listed the M40x as a fit - they listed many other phones (including other Audiotechnicas) but not this one, so I was a bit apprehensive about buying them. I shall continue digging

That said, by now I have sort of become accustomed to the headphones and have managed to find one position where it does not hurt as much; so that is a small saving grace, at least for now.

Thanks and cheers

Do be aware that ear cups on the M40x/50x series monitor headphones are the same size and the pads are the same differing only mostly in the material used, and stiffness that is tuned per their sound response and clamping force.

As mentioned before when it comes to headphones aftermarket pads can affect sound quality when compared to genuine parts that are constructed and tuned for the best response by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, with the M series the pads improve significantly as you move up the range ladder i.e.to the M60x and the M70x models.

I tried the usual Boats/ JBL in ear headphones, but as mic was not good, there was always some issue with Skype calls. Finally bought the Logitech H111 wired headphones and been using it for over a week now. No ear discomfort, clear and crisp audio and no call drops ! Anyone looking for budget headphones with good quality, should go for this. Make sure the model number is 111 as it has single headphone jack. And at 740₹ it's quite well performing !
