9 Best Headphone Brands (2020) in India With Amazing Sound Quality

It’s surprising to see how swiftly all of us have changed the way we consume music. Back in the 80’s, we used to binge on cassettes, later on, came the CDs in the 90’s. Due to the rapid evolution, we got the flash drives and mp3 players in the late 2000s. Now the latest technology used for enjoying music is our Smartphone itself. Smartphones are built in such a way that the built has also covered an area of music like providing a good high-quality DAC module which results in output channels via a headphone jack. We are having all sorts of inventions regarding the enjoyment of music but aren’t we forgetting what it takes to enjoy that rich crisp clear sound of music? Here is where the headphones come into the picture. Well, to start with the headphones let me tell you there is a difference between a headphone and an earphone. Headphones are basically a pair of loudspeakers consisting of large sound drivers in which left and right speakers are connected via a strap. Earphones aren’t like the loudspeakers; they have a decent amount of sound drivers and are connected through a single wire. Another difference is that headphones are worn over the ear whereas the earphones are worn inside the ear.

This is the difference between a headphone and earphone, now let’s check out which are the best headphone brands in India which provide rich, crisp, clear sound in all price segments. Here is the list of best brands which provide the best of the class headphones in all price segments. The price segments covered in this article are Expensive, Less expensive and Pocket-friendly.
