Best Earphones Under 1500 in India

Quick Roundup

Sony MDR-AS210AP

Sony MDR-AS210AP stands tall on our list for the best earphones under 1500 due to its robust ear tip design and the ability to withstand intense workout sessions.

Specifications:

Microphone AvailabilityYes
Driver Size13.5 mm drivers
Waterproof RatingIPX4
Tangle-freeYes
Buttons1

Build and Design:

Sony MDR-AS210AP doesn’t look like ordinary earphones and has an ear-shaped loop that snugly fits over your ear while positioning the tip in your ear cavity. It is a tangle-free cable design that doesn’t come off your ears while doing intense movements.

There is a microphone with a single button that can be used to pick and disconnect calls. The earphones are rated sweatproof and splash-proof so sweat or light fluid splashes won’t be a major worry. There are no volume controls available on the earphones.

Sound Quality:

Sony MDR-AS210AP excel ay sound quality and is one of the few reasons to go for these earphones in particular. With a 13.5 mm driver unit, the sound is loud but the bass lovers might feel it a little inferior to other options available for the same or less price. The noise cancellation, which is not mentioned,  carries a lot of noise while calling.

Verdict:

Sony MDR-AS210AP isn’t cheap but going for the overall package these are the best earphones under 1500 for workout buffs. They won’t fall off, can be adjusted according to your ear size, and deliver loud music with slightly inferior bass. The microphone positioning and noise-canceling are a slight disappointment considering the high price.

“Sony MDR-AS210AP are the best workout earphones.”

  • Microphone

Cons

  • Feeble bass
  • Inept noise cancellation

Boat Bassheads 242

Boat Bassheads 242 rank on our list because of the vibrant color options and the loud bass that makes it a deserving candidate for one of the best earphones under 1500.

Specifications:

Driver Size10 mm drivers
Waterproof RatingIPX4

Build and Design:

Boat Bassheads 242 have secure-fit ear hooks made up of semi-hard silicon to prevent accidentally falling out. It is an in-ear design with a dedicated control module for adjusting volume and skipping, pausing, and resuming tracks.

Boat Bassheads 242 have a stretchable cable that doesn’t snap or tangle while using. It is also IPX4 rated and is on par with the Sony MDR earphones mentioned above in combating moisture.

Sound Quality:

Boat Bassheads 242 has bass in its name and I would be disappointing if the bass was low. The only thing is you can experience the best sound quality with bass at 70-80 percent volume. After that, it is just distorted garbage. The earphones also have a dedicated voice assistant button that can be used to invoke Google and Siri. The call quality is also pretty much basic for a standard earphone.

Verdict:

Boat Bassheads 242 come cheap but are inarguably the best earphones under 1500 for bass lovers on a tight budget. They are durable, IPX4 rated, and can even adjust volume and invoke voice assistant without taking out the phone. What more could you ask for in such a stringent budget.

“Boat Bassheads 242 are meant for the budget bass lovers.”

Boult Audio BassBuds X1

Boult Audio BassBuds X1 is another great option for bass lovers looking for the best earphones under 1500. The earphones have an IPX5 waterproof rating which makes them rank above most of the earphones on our list.

Build and Design:

Boult Audio BassBuds X1 is quite similar in design to the boat Bassheads with the only difference being the slightly hard ear fins. The earphones are made out of aluminum and can handle abuse.

The earphones are IPX5 waterproof rated and provide superior protection from dust, dirt, and light rain. They have a control module with a universal button to do all the tricks. Its cables are Kevlar reinforced and can last longer without breaking.

Sound Quality:

Boult Audio BassBuds X1 audio is great for the price range as they offer a decent bass with HD quality audio. Their microphone works great for calls and is able to cancel out the background noise with ease. Audio-wise there is nothing much to complain about.

Verdict:

Boult Audio BassBuds X1 is one of the best budget deals when it comes to the best earphones under 1500. They sound good, are IPX5 waterproof, and have Kevlar reinforced cable that will last longer. Although, the ear fin design is slightly protrusive and hurts the ear in the long run. The control module with the universal remote isn’t a pleasant experience at all.

“Boult Audio BassBuds X1 offer loud bass and water resistance.”

Build and Design:

Realme Buds 2 has a tiny magnet that allows both earbuds to be clasped together for better storage. There is also an attached cable organizer which is a neat touch for the earphones.

There is a three-button remote control module on the wire that enables you to take calls, adjust volume and invoke the voice assistant on your smartphone.

Sound Quality:

Realme Buds 2 deliver a clear sound output devoid of any distortion. The earphones use 11.2 mm drivers that are slightly larger than the boat Bassheads and frankly, the earphones get the aural output just right. The noise cancellation works great and the calls are audible with minimal background noise.

Verdict:

Realme Buds 2 are priced slightly higher than the boat Bassheads and the Boult earphones on our list of the best earphones under 1500. They provide a decent aural experience for the price and the control module is the best when compared to all the earphones on our list. The only problem is that it isn’t water-resistant rated and that there are no ear hooks or pins to hold it in the ear.

“Realme Buds 2 are premium quality earphones without an official waterproof rating.”

Mi Dual Driver earphones

Mi Dual Driver earphones are a great option that comes with dual drivers to minimize distortion and give you the purest form of audio output.

Build and Design:

Mi Dual Driver earphones are slightly bigger and have the same magnetic head for better storage. There no dedicated cable organizer but the cable itself is very durable

Mi Dual Driver earphones have a control module with three buttons for volume adjustment and play pause features. There is not an official waterproof rating present on these earphones.

Sound Quality:

Due to the dual-driver system, the audio emanating from the earphones feels more original and not lost in compression. The Mi Dual Driver earphones are able to provide a good mix of bass and treble with equal attention to both the high and low frequencies. Call quality is great and the earphones come with passive noise cancellation which is nothing praise-worthy but effective as it should be in the best earphones under 1500.

Verdict:

Mi Dual Driver earphones are slightly premium in construction and come with a better tuned audio output. There is no mention of a waterproof coating or any active noise cancellation feature which makes it a tough choice if you workout a lot. Nevertheless, Mi Dual Driver earphones can give stiff competition to any earphones mentioned in our list of the best earphones under 1500.

“Mi Dual Driver earphones is one of the premium products from the brand.”

Skullcandy Inkd Plus

Skullcandy Inkd Plus is a tad bit expensive but do a great job as your audio companion. Skullcandy Inkd Plus is more on the expensive side but is still one of the best audio products manufactured by the brand.

Build and Design:

Skullcandy Inkd Plus is slightly better in aesthetics and color scheme than most of the earphones on our list of the best earphones under 1500. The silicone ear tips are of superior quality and do not flatline after prolonged usage.

There is a single button control module to manage calls, play, and pause tracks. You cannot control volume or invoke the voice assistant with the control module.

Sound Quality:

Skullcandy Inkd Plus is among the most reliable bunch for superior audio quality. The bass isn’t that high but it sounds good for most genres. Its call quality is average and you can hear static from the line which induces some disturbance as well.

Verdict:

Skullcandy Inkd Plus demands high while offering nothing extra for the users. Its build quality, especially the cable is a major concern for those who like to fold their earphones after every use. Also the unavailability of a volume adjustment button and the waterproof rating, the earphones rank so low in our list of the best earphones under 1500.

“Skullcandy Inkd Plus is a good pick if you love the aesthetics far more than audio quality.”

Final Words

Sony is my top pick for the best earphones under 1500 with the best ear grip and comfort along with great audio output. If you love bass, both the boat and Boult earphones are an equally competent choice for the same. Lastly, if magnetic heads and good storage features and balanced audio output is your concern, Mi earphones do a great job.
