Made a non-commercial site that shows how any IEM / earphone / headphone will actually sound before you buy it and which Indian store sells it cheapest

So I made a website which covers headphones, IEMs and other audio gear with things like price comparisons, how the headphones would sound before buying, their sound graphs and measurements, EQ, compatibility, cables which fit, compatibility with accessories like cable, similar-sounding products and more. It also helps beginners understand headphone sound and read sound graphs.

It’s strictly a non-commercial, no-profit project that I’m building for the community with the idea of making it easier for Indian headphone enthusiasts to discover and compare gear.

I’d love if you guys could check it out and share your thoughts so that I can improve this!

Sony wh ch720n or Cmf headphones pro?

Hi guys! My budget is 5k-ish and I’m looking for some decent headphones that are comfortable, good build and sound quality and I’m conflicted between these two, some people are telling me Sony’s comfort is unmatched go for it, others saying cmf build quality is far superior, Flipkart currently lists the both of these at pretty good prices, Sony being 5500 and cmf being 4500, please help me pick one, thanks!!

Why so much hype

I was active on this subreddit about a year ago. Back then, everyone was talking about Realme, Soundcore, Sony, Sennheiser, IEMs, etc. But now, Portronics? WTF? 😭 Your ears are valuable—don’t cheap out on them.

Looking for TWS earbuds under ₹3K. I’ve shortlisted these 4 options in the picture.
I mainly care about good bass and battery life. Which one would you recommend? Open to other suggestions too.

Help with JBL Tune 770NC

Today, I went to try a few headphones in the offline market before making a purchase I tried only 2.

  1. Jbl ones I've mentioned

  2. Sony ch520 (on ear)

Based on what I experienced, the Sony had a really well balanced sound like it was good but I'm looking only for over ear (they didn't have any other great options to try).

So, with JBL Tune 770NC i realised that they were either bass boosted or idk what was wrong but I felt disappointed because the bass was overwhelming the vocals & instruments way too much. I'm not sure if someone else changed the mode or did this or if it comes like that.

So please clarify this thing about those headphones : I have a budget of 4-4.5k this sale (I need bigger ear cups and with probably really great sound as I do love to enjoy music with good bass and movies as well).

Here are the few options I am interested in (please let me know your thoughts) :

  • Boat Nirvana Eutopia 2 (I have had a bad experience with boat with my TWS but based on reviews on YT I'm thinking about giving them one last chance)

  • JBL Tune 770nc (only if that issue is js someone's customization)

  • Soundcore q20i (I feel it is quite outdated so I'm not really sure)

  • Would appreciate your recommendations if you can tell me with a why to choose them.

PS : Do let me know your thoughts please (no hate I've never bought headphones before)

Is boAt Nirvana Eutopia 2 good for watching movies?

I’m mainly buying headphones for movies/OTT. If anyone is using Eutopia 2, please share your experience.

If there’s any better option for movies around the same price, please suggest that too. I’m mainly looking for realistic sound, clarity and good left-right separation/detail.

Q20i Cushion replacement

It's been 1.5 years since I have been using my Q20i and everything seems to be great, only from the past 3 months I have seen significant wear and tear on the cushion and now it's completely done I guess.

I found earpad cushion replacement but I can't find any replacement of the headband, also the earpad cushions are so freaking expensive costing 1000 rupees (i bought the q20i for 5000 rupees only).

Could you all suggest me some links from both of these cushions!

Looking for a good TWS for iPhone – considering OnePlus Buds 4

Hey everyone,

I recently switched to an iPhone and I'm looking to get a good TWS for it. I care quite a bit about music quality, but I can't really justify spending Apple AirPods money right now.

Until now, I've been using the realme Buds 5, and honestly I've been pretty happy with the sound for what I paid. They've been my daily driver for quite some time, but they're now pretty much reaching the end of their life, so I'm looking for a replacement.

I also have a pair of Samsung AKG USB-C wired earphones, which I tried using with the iPhone. But I wasn't particularly impressed with the experience. I sometimes get random disconnections, and more importantly, the music doesn't sound as good to me as it did with the realme Buds 5.

I'm not sure whether that's because of some iOS/Samsung compatibility issue, the USB-C DAC, or simply that I prefer the tuning of the realme buds.

After looking around, ChatGPT suggested the OnePlus Buds 4, and I'm currently considering picking them up during an upcoming sale. The specs and reviews look pretty good for the price, especially the dual-driver setup.

However, before buying, I'd like to hear from people here:

  • How are the OnePlus Buds 4 with an iPhone, particularly for music quality?
  • Are there any significant limitations when using them with iOS?
  • How do they compare with something like the realme Buds 5 in terms of sound?
  • Are there any other TWS options around the same price that I should consider specifically for music quality on iPhone?

One more thing: the Buds 4 launched in 2025, so is there any credible indication that OnePlus Buds 5 could launch in 2026? I'm wondering whether it's worth waiting a little longer or just buying the Buds 4 during the sale.

Would appreciate opinions from people who have actually used the Buds 4 with an iPhone. Thanks!
