Getting it under 3000 using gift cards

Got this air 7 just today and i noticed that one side battery is sometimes 80 percent and one side is 90 at the same time. Is this normal? Also i wanted to check its activation date where can i check it?

I ordered this from blinkit but I can't see mrp label on box is it orginal? Got this for ₹460

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a new pair of headphones. I’m not very knowledgeable about audio technology, so I’d really appreciate suggestions from people who have experience with high-end headphones.
I’m heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem and really like how seamlessly AirPods switch between my devices. I understand that replicating that experience outside Apple’s ecosystem can be difficult, but I’m open to other options if the overall product is better.

My main requirements are:

● Primarily for international travel, including long journeys and trips to remote locations where charging may not always be convenient
● Excellent battery life
● Fast charging would be a major plus
● Sturdy and durable construction
● Strong ANC
● Good, punchy bass
● Preferably available in black
● Overall, I’m looking for a premium, long-term option rather than simply the most expensive one

I don’t have a strict budget limit, but I’m particularly interested in value among the premium options. For example, if one model offers 90–95% of another model’s experience at significantly less cost, I’d prefer the former.
What would you recommend based on these requirements? Also interested in hearing about any models that you’ve personally used for frequent/long-haul travel.

Thanks in advance

I'm a beginner looking for my first proper over-ear headphones, budget under 10k INR($105), mainly for my gaming laptop. My primary use is story/single-player games, movies, anime and TV shows, not music analysis or competitive gaming.

I currently use OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro , and I want a clearly noticeable upgrade, especially in immersion, separation, detail and overall presentation. I often feel I need to push the Buds above ~60% volume to properly appreciate quieter OST layers, ambience and instruments.

I'm particularly interested in a larger/more spacious soundstage because I want games and movies to feel more immersive, although I'm not experienced enough to know how important soundstage actually is.

My music is mostly pop, some EDM and anime music. I have slightly large ears, so comfort and sufficiently large earcups matter, especially for long sessions.

The Sennheiser HD 569 is currently at the top of my list, but I'm concerned about reviews mentioning a warm/dark sound, possible muddiness and reduced treble/detail. I've also considered the ATH-M40x, FiiO JT1 and Sony MDR-7506, but each seems to have its own trade-offs.

Since I'm a beginner and don't really know my preferred sound signature yet, would you recommend the HD 569 for my use case, or would another closed-back under 10k INR($105) be a better choice? I'm mainly looking for something that will feel like a genuine upgrade from my Buds rather than simply sounding different.

Got my headphones today for ₹2.6K, so here’s my first-hour review. I’ll be comparing them with my previous Boult Q, which I bought for ₹1.6K last year.

Build quality: 9/10 — Much better than the Boult Q. They also feel noticeably heavier and more premium.

Cushions: 7/10 — The Boult cushions felt more comfortable. These are quite mushy, but I’m hoping they’ll take shape and become more comfortable with time.

ANC: 5/10 — The Boult didn’t have ANC, so I don’t have much to compare it with. It works, but honestly, it doesn’t feel that impressive. It does the job, though.

Sound: 8/10 with Pop Mode — This is what I care about the most, and these definitely sound better than the Boult Q. Out of the box, they sound pretty bad, but Pop Mode makes a huge difference and sounds great to me.

The Boult Q had an impressive 70-hour battery life, while these are rated for 60 hours. I’ll mostly use them without ANC, so I’ll see how long they actually last and update this later.

Are they worth ₹2.6K? Absolutely, at least for now. They come with a clear hard-shell case, a 3.5mm AUX cable, and a charging cable, which is a nice bonus.

I’ll use them for a few weeks and post a proper one-month review. Let’s see if my opinion changes!

My experience has been decent with conceptkart offline store. Went there and saw the treasure mine of IEMs to trial.

Initially went to test Audiocular DACs before purchasing one due to the online negative reviews of hissing. Tested a lot of DACs Audiocular spark, spark pro, beam, D07, D08, etc.

The Beam and Spark felt similar in terms of audio output. SPARK PRO was noticeably louder than SPARK. Sadly they didn't have the stock of spark pro.

Went with Spark after testing the unit and got a 10% discount too. Tested extensively with CCA phoenix, Truthear gate and Castor pro.

They got the new stock of SPARK yesterday so they couldn't print an invoice due to no inventory in their software. Will update tomorrow about the invoicing issue.

Apart from that they had a good variety of IEMs for trial too and I got to experience the Ambani spectrum of sound too. My ears were pleased but not enough to take a personal loan XD. Overall an 8.9/10 experience, Staff was amazing answering everything and their Audioplayers are so smol and cutu like kuchu puchu.

If the invoicing issue gets fixed it would be a 10/10 experience :D delhi people are lucky.

I already have Realme buds Air7 Pro. i feel FOMO.

5k is too much but people here glaze this thing soo much. I was thinking of EarPods but i have Samsung M53 phone. i wanted white tho says unavilable.

I need headphones with good anc I am a student and I just need it for studying not even music but under 2k . Top priority is Active noise cancellation

Edit : only recommend over headphones

Sound quality definitely better than my existing buds air 5.
