Hey Reddit people please Help me choose my 1st IEMs

So here is the deal , my budget is about 5000 +- 1000

I listen to all kind of musics , english slow/lofi , english Bass and energetic in gym and bollywood love song too

Gaming is secondary

I am the person who buys one thing and use it till it starts to decay , I don't upgrage a lot thats why

I don't want to over spend but I can spend for it ,if its justified

because these are my 1st IEMs I don't want any clutar , no gimmiks and extras like removable rings/nozzle, muliple small switches , very specific things...

The max I am willing to do is 3.5mm + 1000rs DAC because everyone recommends it

and I prefer the one with a mic , every price mentioned is with mic (if mic option is available)

I searched online and here are the things I found

Moondrop - Chu II - 2499rs they are good with balance audio and metal body but have oxidation issue and paint chipping issue

Tangzu - Wan'er S.G 2 Red Lion Edition - 2399rs many people say they are the best for beginners because its a whole bundle but many people also say because of its V shaped Graph and big size beginners may not like it and has QC issue

7HZ xCrinacle Zero 2 IEM - 2740rs - everyone says its the best for versetile listeners but the cable quality is not the best

CCA Phoenix- 2178rs - best for gaming , not the best for music but still Good for music, metal body ...

7hz G1 - 3670rs - Crinicle says its the hidden gem, really good for gaming but also really good for beginners with balanced audio and metal body

KEFINE Klean SV - 4290rs - a dufferent league , really good build and great audio but no mic

Hi

I want to join SRM AP CSE

I called SRM AP and they said if I don't get what I chose , I will have to give Phase 3 exam , I won't be given a second chance or a different Brach

I am really scared , please help me with this

I will I get CSE core at this rank ? or should I not risk it and edit it to something else ?

I wan thinking about Cyber Security but don't know any Cut off

Someone tell me what all Specialisation Branch can I get

I have to questions , I am joining SRM ap this year

1. SENIORS and those who completed counseling in phase 1 2026 , can you guys please tell me how much money should I keep ready before Counseling?

(I will definitely be getting scholarship or else I will not join)

Like is it 1st sem fee + 10k + hostel

Or 10k + 1 lakh or something else ?

2. How much money will I have to actually give in 4 years

Is it just Tuition fees + hostel and mess

Or are there a lot of hidden charges ?

Please help me out ,

Thank you

Just 1 question

Is SRM ap really in a remote area ?

Like how far is the nearest cinema hall ? Or the nearest mall

Or even the nearest market or a place to chill ?

I know there is a lot inside the campus but still is it really that remote ?

I know SRM ap has support for Amazon and flipkart

But I was just curious if quick commerce like Instamart or blink it are available

I need an advice , I am getting a HP omen 5060 laptop for 80k from Reliance Digit

its a display model , like new

but there is no warranty

Should I go for it ?

The only concern is no warranty

Help me Find something good

Please suggest me a good book

I've only ever read self-help books like "How to make friend ... Dale ... or Atomic Habits"

I want to read the real deal

May be something Fiction or something else

Hey Reddit,

I am 18, a student, and I have 25k in savings.

I want a credit card with the primary goal of building a credit score so I can get an unsecured card later. Since I don't have a score yet, I'm looking at these three secured options:

• IDFC FIRST WOW
• IDFC FIRST Hello
• Kotak 811 Super Money

If there’s a better option, please let me know. I spend using UPI a lot, so it must be a RuPay card.

My monthly expenses:

• Bills: ₹1,000
• Fuel: ₹1,000
• Online Shopping: ₹1k–2k
• Misc: ₹1,000 (I can also pay family bills/recharges if needed to hit milestones).

I’m not looking for specific "fancy" features, but some extra cashback is always good. I don’t travel much, maybe once a year domestic.

A few doubts:

1. I can stretch my FD to 50k max if it’s really beneficial, but I said 25k because that fits the 30% utilization ratio for my usage. Is higher better?
2. I’m not a fan of extra fees, but I don't mind paying if the benefits actually make it worth it.
3. For IDFC WOW, I heard the RuPay version is an "add-on" with a ₹199 fee. Is that right?

Please help me out, I am too confused! Which one should I go for?
