Suggestion - Over the ear or TWS
Need suggestions for good branded earphones/headphones in range of 6k-8k. TL;DR:(I would be really grateful if you read 😅)
Hello Everyone,
From past few months I keep getting ear pain if I use earphones(Either wired or bluetooth) for more than an hour. At the most I can use them for 1:30 - 2:00 hrs, before I start experiencing ear pain (Unable to put it in words). What I have observed is, If I stop using earphones I will not get ear pain and if I use them continuously I will start getting pain. Below are the earphones that I have
- Wired: JBL C100SI, Realme and Redmi
- Neckband: OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 and Boat Rockerz 255
- TWS: Ptron and Boat( Not sure about the models)
- Over the ear: Zebronics Zebronics Thunder and Boat Rockerz 450
What I have observed is, I started getting this pain after I started using boat brand earphones/headphones. And post using boat, I started getting pain even when I used other brand earphones(And as long as I don't use any earphones whatsoever, I never get any pain).
Since we have to attend meetings in office(and also for media consumption) and need earphones, can you guys please suggest some good brand headphones/earphones.
Now my dilemma is, If I go with over the ear headphones, I can minimise the possible damage to my ear because of listening. But at the same time, they are a hassle to carry and to use/operate, unlike the TWS ones. But if I use tws/neckbands, I feel I will be more prone to ear pain.
What would be your suggestions?
Note: Seeing from my list, you can guess that I'm budget concious(Don't ask me why I have so many of them, as some I got as gifts and some came free when I purchased large home appliances and some are my wife's).
I had some similarly very bad experience with leg pain and shoes and without any other option I had to invest in a good set of shoe (10k+ and Asics, if you have tonask). And now I see why they charge so hefty price. Branded shoes makes ONE HELL OF A DIFFERENCE.
Hence the advice needed from the experts/audiphiles. I'm willing to increase my budget but not very much. Maybe upto 6k??? If there DO exist good brand earphones!!!

Oppo enco buds 2. Using it for 1.5 years

How is the call quality bro? Because that's one area I'm facing issue with the ones I have. The person on the other end of the call always says there is a disturbance even if I'm inside office/home.
ANC and call quality is first priority. Rest all, like bass or music quality is fine by me. I just use them to watch movies/tv series.
Call quality on most tws is really bad .. and especially bad on enco buds 2
Get over the ear .. sony ch720n go on sale for ~₹5500 , would have to wait till bbd sale tho , or if there's a sale on croma in between

This looks good. I checked it out. Have wishlisted it. Will try in BBD. Thanks for the suggestion bro 🙏.
Your tag says harman India .. do you get special discount for jbl ? If so can try jbl live 770nc (not tune 770nc , tune has smaller earpads /more like on ears )

Buy the sony /jbl over ear headphones, c710 /tune500 whatever suits your budget.
Had developed pimple type red spots on skin inside earhole from using oneplus inear neckband, doctor told to stop using earphones, got sony xb910 around that time still going strong, now I've also got xm5.

Ps. get your ears checked with the pinhole camera type machine at an hospital, dont take risk.
I was given this cream and some medicines.


Will check them out bro. I will not suggest JBL just because of their build quality. Sound quality is excellent. But it's not VFM. Will check out the Sony products.
Thanks for the suggestion bro 🙂

Oneplusbuds 3 Got it recently and love it Great sound Good Noice cancellation Good touch controls Good battery

Will check them out bro. Thanks for the suggestion 😃

I'm using OnePlus. Pretty good and comfy

I already have Oppo bro. Did not find much difference. But far better than Ptron or Boat. But Thanks for the suggestion 🙏
