How to find best earbuds under ₹ 1,500?

Before you go out and purchase a new set of earbuds for yourself, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:

The audio codecs utilised by Bluetooth earbuds can significantly improve the listening experience. The lower latency and greater bitrates provided by codecs like aptX, aptX HD, and LDAC are not supported by the cheaper headphones on the market, which makes it hard to recommend them to an audiophile. If you're not one, you won't be able to tell the difference.Different price points can be challenging to understand. Manufacturers of inexpensive earbuds claim they cannot meet because their products cost less than a sound Bluetooth chip. Always be sceptical of such claims, and put more stock in unbiased reviews than in the statistics provided by their marketing department.

Among Bluetooth earbuds currently on the market, the Apple Airpods Pro is, without a doubt, the best option. They perform wonderfully for most users, and the active noise cancellation effectively eliminates ambient noise. Try them out if you don't mind splurging a little.

Using earphones with a noise cancellation solution makes much sense if you want an immersive experience. ANC works by sending out electrical signals to cancel out the noise effectively. However, you could do without ANC if you’re on a budget since earbuds that cost less than ₹ 1,500 simply cannot have ANC. 

Airpods can easily connect to any Android phone using Bluetooth. But given Apple's walled-garden ideology, it is tough to configure and customise Airpods when using an Android phone. You will need to connect them to an iPhone to update their firmware.   

Most wireless earbuds are compatible with speech assistants like Siri, Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa. You can activate a voice assistant with a button on most modern earbuds.

It's no secret that wireless solutions have lower audio quality. Still, the convenience they offer makes up for it for most listeners. The vast majority of people are unable to detect the difference. Of course, the ball is in your court, and you must decide for yourself before pulling the trigger.
