In my opinion Zeb thunder is not as bad as you said. I have been using the same one for 6 months now and it works perfectly for me. It has all the features mentioned above, and you can also see dual pairing. And when I compared it to the Boat Rockerz 550, it was evenly competitive.
i got the akg k72, and for those complaining about the bass, the headphones isnt meant only for audio listening, it is a studio monitor headphones, which means that it has to has a near neutral sounds without any fx, so the sound has to be completely balanced, but if you are interested in bass, in spotify you have to option to increase bass
Infinity glide 510 is also great for 1500 INR, 70+ hrs of battery backup , balanced good sound quality and sturdy build. Only drawback is it doesn't cover the ears completely so after 2hrs it hurts to use

XM3 and 4 had below average call quality. But sony seems to have fixed it with XM5. But in terms of Audio quality, some people felt it was a little downgrade compared to XM4. Also XM5 don't fold anymore like its predecessors and comes with a bulky case which is not ideal for travelling. How about a review of Sennheiser momentum 4 which is shaking the headphones market globally with its superior sound quality and claims 60 hours of battery life? I know it has been priced insanely high in India but in global market it just undercuts the XM5
M4 are better in sound but lack in almost every other department. Xm5 is having better mic quality over xm4 I can vouch for that. In terms of sound xm4 are better than XM5. Only get xm5 if you are a Sony fanboy with loads of cash to burn, rather go for Bose qc45 if you need best anc, mic and folding design.
@@simpleuserYT what was your indication by every other department? For me the most important thing is sound quality, if that is better there, it's an easy recommendation. For me call quality does not has to be the absolute best, but something that works fine is good enough. Also the battery life is more than double in M4. It really matters in long term usage, as battery deteriorats. So after 4-5 years of usage when Bose or Sony could run 8-10 hours at one charge, I expect it to better with Sennheiser. Back in the days I had XM3. I compared them side by side with QC35ii. I didn't like the soundstage of Bose with that model. But comfort and call quality was way better. In terms of comfort sony was good enough but call quality of XM3 was unacceptable. I don't really know much about QC45 though. It's just a bit confusing when they also have 700 series headphones
@@sumanmondalrock I mean M4 would only be preferred if you want best sound quality among bluetooth headphones because in that price range which is double of xm4. I think you can find ample wired headphones which will knock m4 out of the park. For battery life, anything above 20hr is golden. 4-5yr is a bit too long for me to take in to consideration for battery life tbh.
Can you tell about the foam and leather condition after 1 year? I have heard replacing them is too costly and there is no customer service available here?
Pratik,I think you forgot "Infinity Glide 4000". like it has some really good features like 4 different music modes,NFC fast pairing,50 hrs battery. I've been using this headphone for like more than two years and i am completely satisfied 👍🏻
Where are Anker headphones which are way more value for money than JBL. Anker q35 is better than Sony XM4 and Sennheiser Momentum 4 is the best bluetooth headphone money can buy under $500 which has better sounds than XM5.
You missed Anker Soundcore Q30/35 They are best under 10k. Sound quality is even better than Sony WH1000XM4. They were critically acclaimed internationally.
I grabbed the Sony WH-XB910N for 8.5k. First I ordered the Sennheiser 450SE and was really disappointed with the audio quality. The bass was distorting and crackling at high volume. Then returned and grabbed the Sony’s and these are amazing. The bass is head rattling and the software is highly customisable.
@@khushwnt789 their wired audio products are the best but bluetooth audio was disappointing. I even gave the headphones 2-3 days burn in time but still the audio was disappointing
If anyone wants a slightly premium headphone for making music or to become an audiophile, I would highly recommend the AKG K361 or its bluetooth version. I bought it for around ₹6000 during Prime Day sale and can honestly say it is the best purchase of my life. Super comfortable, amazing sound...you will rediscover music after buying it.
@@lakshaysiwach3652 If you want really high quality music, then sadly right now only Apple music is available in India that provides lossless audio, which is paid. Or else Spotify and UA-cam music also provides quite good sound quality.
@@mohammedaassim3776 According to Z reviews the revised version of the bluetooth model is just as good now. But I can't comment since I bought the wired version
I had the JBL Tune 750 NC: their ANC was 0. I couldn't make out any difference between ANC being on or off. Since then I haven't bought another JBL product (though this doesn't imply a lifelong ban on JBL...). The dual pairing did work well though. Over 2 years later I bought the XM4s on sale for ~ ₹ 21,000, and their ANC is magic!!
Get Soundcore life Q10 or Tribit xfree go. Headphones with monster battery backup and really good audio output. You should get them around 2.5 k. Thank me later.
like yeah... , I've bought it recently and ngl the sound quality is just 👌, underrated for this price and that crisp sound quality you'll never found any negative reviews (that's how product should be)
A wired akg worth just over 10k easily beats the airpods max and ofc the mark 5 in terms of sound quality,staging,seperation.. if ANC is not asked. So wireless headphones that does the same job for thrice the price is not for someone that listens to music and watch movies in house. Also tws is a better option all-round.
Prateek, I really regret saying this but you should’ve included Anker Soundcore Q10, Q20 and the Q30’s. They are really value for money, and actually have ‘good’ sound as compared to the Boat.
Have u faced any imbalance in Left and right channel?? (mainly on the Bass sounds) I felt that the Sound is little bit on the Right side. Left side feels little low in volume as compared to Right side. I tried it on three pair of headphones (same model Q10) and the audio felt unbalanced.
@@ArunKumar-ze4yd is that easily detectable by you ? If yes, then it may be some defect batch out there or Maybe you have sharper hearing and your ears are trained
@@Smzxe Realme buds 2? Garbos, crushed mids, vocals and bass practically are hugging each other. Sounds muddy as hell. Better with a jabra 3 elite, a bassy neutral sound
@@kevinsalmador739 i didn't buy all three at once but one by one. I tested them on my friend and 2 of 4 said there is an imbalance and other 2 were actually trying hard to detect it. And i Moved the slider for audio balance in accessibility settings slightly towards left so I'm good now.
Dude you are a psychic!! I watched one of Manu's old videos on headphones, published last year. But I just wanted a more latest version and here it is!!!!
Any reason for not including the bose qc45? It's in the same price point as sony xm4 and has physical buttons for control which should outlast touch controls on the Sony xm4
Q10 has Bass button ( trust me bro the Bass is 🔥), 60 hr battery , very good sound quality in its price range, premium build quality. Only problem is its weight.
With great build comes great weight!! Also it will last 2 to 4 weeks in a single charge!!! But the most important is the metal frame and hinges... This thing is built to last!!! So i would highly recommend it... During sale it will be around 1500.Avoid boat even if u get it for free, will mostly break within 6mnths
@@dhinastark3610 I never use boat products because of poor audio quality. & yeah I agree, the weight is mostly because of big battery. I also own it currently, btw thanks for recommending.
i wanted to buy boat Nirvana 751anc , it was 3999 at that time.. so i waited for the sale to start and guess what.. they increased the price 💀 keep the reducing price aside.. they didn't even keep it at 3999.. I'm so disappointed 3:50
zebronics zeb thunder is the best i can say....it also have "dual pair", and a above decent sound, and many more features (within 500-700rs) mann the review by him is totally wrong, i am still using it and it almost completed 2 years still not a single problem i faced, yes the ear cups are little damaged so which i can change
Recently bought Sony XB910N in Diwali sale at 9750/- Usually they retail around 14990. Amazing sound quality (wide sound stage and crisp and thumpy bass), great ANC, 40-50 hr battery life, full sony app support and the most comfortable fit ever. I have them on for my entire work day and even at night and charge it maybe 2 times a week. The only con is that dual device connectivity is a bit wonky. But for 35% off I can live with the compromise.
Interesting to see there's no Sennheiser in the 2500-3000 list or below 2000. I have been using Sennheiser HD 202 Professional ones which i bought at 1900Inr 6years back and it's still working fine. The sound quality is good.
Currently using boat rockerz 550 for more than a year and undoubtedly the best headphones in budget with very strong durability and awesome comfort with very well balanced music just loved it ❤️
I purchased xm4 and really got disappointed with the sound quality. It has good anc no doubt but sound quality there is so much disturbance. I heard airpod max you can distinctively focus on each instrument you want to focus but here it was disturbing.
Oppo Enco X2 vs Buds 2 Pro? This will be my first TWS, and I'm also concerned about the longevity of these TWS battery, for how many years should a TWS ideally work ?
I'll say buds 2 pro. I bought it during last big billion sale and it's still working fine. But I would say buy a tws knowing that it will last an yr or so and 2 if ur lucky, even if it's apple air buds.
What do you think pratik ? Should i go for the airpods pro 2 or the sony 🎧 xm4/xm5 ? Into an apple ecosystem but anc really matters to me .. is there a day-night difference between the airpods pro 2 and the xm’s ?
@@rjesh2062 i think that the sony headphones will have better anc but not that portable… so airpods offer less but are practical outdoors and viceversa for the sonh headphones
please use chapters, also add some editing, especially by keeping the product name somewhere while explaining, see if you explain about a product then we like it then we need to scroll back to know what product it is, this has already been conveyed unless you are already awake , in that case ignore this suggestion as always.
Have used Zeb thunder for bout 2 years now , they are working fine , just that the battery now only lasts for like 20 min. On full charge and the dual pairing function works really well on them , nothing premium about dual pairing
Currently using zeb thunder over two years.. No charging problem.. Yeah the build is cheap... But for 500 you get like sooooo much!! And coming to audio I agree that it doesn't have anc but for normal purposes like watching this video it's a pretty good steal deal... And I think you must have gotten a faulty one considering there were more than one issues.
I bought akg k371 for 5200, also I believe your list is quite unappropriate, we get hifiman deva for 10k, senheiser hd650 or hifiman sundara for 24k, sony xm4 is not match for them.
l own realme buds air 3 and rockers 550 and i really think realme buds sounds way better than rockers 550 for me and i had a realme neckband in the past which also had better audio quality compared to boat edit : 550 also has dual device connectivity and rn its broken from the both the sides (credit my mom)
Pratik, so sad to see that you guys missed the legendary Soundcore Life Q10, within 2k that is THE BEST money can buy. Pros: Superior sound quality Outstanding bass performance ( literally you will feel the rumble on your ears) Extraordinary battery life. (Infact I forgot when I charged it) Dual pairing Nice cushions and build quality. Good for calls. Con: The only one I can mention is its weight. Otherwise the product is bang for the buck, you can't go wrong with that.
The JBL Tune 760NC is available for 2899 on Amazon Renewed. Some of these renewed items are near new condition. You can order, if it doesn't work or has some defects, you can replace or refund. At 2899 these are the best. I bought it renewed. Plus amazon renewed has 6 months warranty. (They just refund you if it stops working).
I have been using rockerz 550 for almost 10 months and i must say it's the way to go even if u have 2x the budget Very comfy, dual pairing, sound quality... I have used jbl sony etc but something about it is just on point...
Pratik I bought Sony WF-C500 as pr your review under 4000 budget video. But it has a serious problem the Bass just Fades away when I go to full volume and You can't hear even a single beat of Bass Only trebles on the earphones and it sucks when I spend that much Money on this shit. Please advise. I have also used it with Sony Headphone Connect app.
How come AKG K361 BT is not in the list? Its damn good when it comes to the sound quality. Vocals are good Mids and Lows are pretty good , It also offers a great amount of comfort. It is a studio quality headphone, One down side of this headphone is that it doesn't offer ANC but it cancels out the good amount of passive noise because of its over ear design.
LOL, 1ST HEADSET IS WHAT I PURCHASED . It was decent, no bass ( hated it) , sound clarity was at peak for 600 rs, call quality is good, has radio ALSO ITS MORE THAN A YEAR NOW, ITS STILL WORKING!!!!!!!!! so stop spreading hate cause i took utmost care after my sister broke my asus wired earphones , i literally cried after she broke them and parents , unknown to tech world bought this( ZEBRONICS AEB THUNDER ) and also , the charging problem is in you defective headset, i used it for my online classes in covid for 6 hrs straight ( i know its unbearable due to heat and sweat it generates) and i faced no charging issue even after a year also they had dual device pairing, really worked well there
Got xm5 last year in January at 18k with GST claim, and ngl I have no complaints about the money spent. It's just awesome, the ANC is so good that I use it without music for my morning meditation routine
From an audiophile’s perspective, wired headphones are the best for sound quality. Get Samson SR850, Sony MDR-7506 or audio technica M40 or 50s. Wired headphones will last you a lifetime whereas as wireless will get deteriorate with time.
I bought zebronics thunder 2 year ago and it's still working .it is more comfortable than boat rockers 400 which I have previously but sound quality is little less

For me call quality does not has to be the absolute best, but something that works fine is good enough. Also the battery life is more than double in M4. It really matters in long term usage, as battery deteriorats. So after 4-5 years of usage when Bose or Sony could run 8-10 hours at one charge, I expect it to better with Sennheiser.
Back in the days I had XM3. I compared them side by side with QC35ii. I didn't like the soundstage of Bose with that model. But comfort and call quality was way better. In terms of comfort sony was good enough but call quality of XM3 was unacceptable.
I don't really know much about QC45 though. It's just a bit confusing when they also have 700 series headphones
@@sumanmondalrock I mean M4 would only be preferred if you want best sound quality among bluetooth headphones because in that price range which is double of xm4. I think you can find ample wired headphones which will knock m4 out of the park.
For battery life, anything above 20hr is golden. 4-5yr is a bit too long for me to take in to consideration for battery life tbh.

I got soundcore q35 for 8k and these things are absolute Beast!
Can you tell about the foam and leather condition after 1 year? I have heard replacing them is too costly and there is no customer service available here?
Pratik,I think you forgot "Infinity Glide 4000". like it has some really good features like 4 different music modes,NFC fast pairing,50 hrs battery. I've been using this headphone for like more than two years and i am completely satisfied 👍🏻
It doesn't sell anymore

Where are Anker headphones which are way more value for money than JBL. Anker q35 is better than Sony XM4 and Sennheiser Momentum 4 is the best bluetooth headphone money can buy under $500 which has better sounds than XM5.
You missed Anker Soundcore Q30/35
They are best under 10k. Sound quality is even better than Sony WH1000XM4.
They were critically acclaimed internationally.
Is it too heavy for long usage?!

I grabbed the Sony WH-XB910N for 8.5k. First I ordered the Sennheiser 450SE and was really disappointed with the audio quality. The bass was distorting and crackling at high volume. Then returned and grabbed the Sony’s and these are amazing. The bass is head rattling and the software is highly customisable.
I bought the same during the sale . They are awesome..
i bought it too but returned it due to it's lowax volume
Sennheiser is the OG ok.
@@khushwnt789 their wired audio products are the best but bluetooth audio was disappointing. I even gave the headphones 2-3 days burn in time but still the audio was disappointing
If anyone wants a slightly premium headphone for making music or to become an audiophile, I would highly recommend the AKG K361 or its bluetooth version. I bought it for around ₹6000 during Prime Day sale and can honestly say it is the best purchase of my life. Super comfortable, amazing sound...you will rediscover music after buying it.
And it is the perfectly tuned to Harman curve and gives immersiveness like nothing else... Butt the bt version is a generation behind.
Which music streaming service do you use and any free high quality listening platform?
@@lakshaysiwach3652 If you want really high quality music, then sadly right now only Apple music is available in India that provides lossless audio, which is paid. Or else Spotify and UA-cam music also provides quite good sound quality.

You Missed Sony XB-910n, Sells around 9k to 10k in sales.
I had the JBL Tune 750 NC: their ANC was 0. I couldn't make out any difference between ANC being on or off. Since then I haven't bought another JBL product (though this doesn't imply a lifelong ban on JBL...). The dual pairing did work well though. Over 2 years later I bought the XM4s on sale for ~ ₹ 21,000, and their ANC is magic!!
Get Soundcore life Q10 or Tribit xfree go. Headphones with monster battery backup and really good audio output. You should get them around 2.5 k. Thank me later.
Do you know where to find earpads for Q10?? i saw one on the internet but the price was over Rs1000 which was too high.
Why u haven't mentioned soundcore life q10 which usually sells around 2k
like yeah... , I've bought it recently and ngl the sound quality is just 👌, underrated for this price and that crisp sound quality
you'll never found any negative reviews (that's how product should be)
Why didn't you guys include soundcore life Q10.
It's around 2.5K
Dual device pairing
Long battery life

I've heard we can't wear xm4 in gym, that's a bummer, spending that much and not being able to use in gym
A wired akg worth just over 10k easily beats the airpods max and ofc the mark 5 in terms of sound quality,staging,seperation.. if ANC is not asked. So wireless headphones that does the same job for thrice the price is not for someone that listens to music and watch movies in house. Also tws is a better option all-round.
I want headphones for all day studying and listen to my video classes. What would be the better option. Kindly reply.
Thank you bro. I'm actually happy you got stright to point. I'm already subscribed with full notifcations turned on. ❤❤💯💯
Prateek, I really regret saying this but you should’ve included Anker Soundcore Q10, Q20 and the Q30’s. They are really value for money, and actually have ‘good’ sound as compared to the Boat.
Have u faced any imbalance in Left and right channel?? (mainly on the Bass sounds)
I felt that the Sound is little bit on the Right side. Left side feels little low in volume as compared to Right side. I tried it on three pair of headphones (same model Q10) and the audio felt unbalanced.
@@ArunKumar-ze4yd is that easily detectable by you ? If yes, then it may be some defect batch out there or

@@ArunKumar-ze4yd actually buy realme Buds 2 earphone and listen back to back you will find that buds 2 sounds better than your Soundcore Q10 😂😂

Dude you are a psychic!! I watched one of Manu's old videos on headphones, published last year. But I just wanted a more latest version and here it is!!!!
Any reason for not including the bose qc45? It's in the same price point as sony xm4 and has physical buttons for control which should outlast touch controls on the Sony xm4
Imo QCs sound way better than xm4/5s.
which one to pick boat nirvana 751 or soundcore q10
Q10 has Bass button ( trust me bro the Bass is 🔥), 60 hr battery , very good sound quality in its price range, premium build quality. Only problem is its weight.
What about Soundcore life q10 in budget range? I think the only flaw is it's heavy weight.
With great build comes great weight!! Also it will last 2 to 4 weeks in a single charge!!! But the most important is the metal frame and hinges... This thing is built to last!!! So i would highly recommend it... During sale it will be around 1500.Avoid boat even if u get it for free, will mostly break within 6mnths
My friend had it and They are good. Especially battery life.
@@dhinastark3610 I never use boat products because of poor audio quality. & yeah I agree, the weight is mostly because of big battery. I also own it currently, btw thanks for recommending.
@@suhail-msk Yes, I also have it. Once fully charged it goes for around 2 weeks, even after heavy usage.

Now the price is 2999
Honestly Zeb thunder is an amazing product, i bought it in 750Rs. In 2019 and it still working well.
how did you get it for 75 rupees?? and from where?
It stopped working for me though i purchased it last year.
zebronics zeb thunder is the best i can say....it also have "dual pair", and a above decent sound, and many more features (within 500-700rs) mann the review by him is totally wrong, i am still using it and it almost completed 2 years still not a single problem i faced, yes the ear cups are little damaged so which i can change
Recently bought Sony XB910N in Diwali sale at 9750/- Usually they retail around 14990. Amazing sound quality (wide sound stage and crisp and thumpy bass), great ANC, 40-50 hr battery life, full sony app support and the most comfortable fit ever. I have them on for my entire work day and even at night and charge it maybe 2 times a week.
The only con is that dual device connectivity is a bit wonky. But for 35% off I can live with the compromise.
I bought Sony XB900N for around same price (9999).😁

@@swapnilmhaske2873 ok thank you 😊
Soundcore space NC is also a good choice. Great build, battery life and great sound quality worth every penny.
Missed Soundcore Q35 & the newly launched Q45. They should have been on the list.
please use chapters, also add some editing, especially by keeping the product name somewhere while explaining, see if you explain about a product then we like it then we need to scroll back to know what product it is, this has already been conveyed unless you are already awake , in that case ignore this suggestion as always.
Have used Zeb thunder for bout 2 years now , they are working fine , just that the battery now only lasts for like 20 min. On full charge and the dual pairing function works really well on them , nothing premium about dual pairing
And boat Nirvana 751 also supports dual connect same as the JBL one shown in the video
Currently using zeb thunder over two years.. No charging problem.. Yeah the build is cheap... But for 500 you get like sooooo much!! And coming to audio I agree that it doesn't have anc but for normal purposes like watching this video it's a pretty good steal deal... And I think you must have gotten a faulty one considering there were more than one issues.
I bought akg k371 for 5200, also I believe your list is quite unappropriate, we get hifiman deva for 10k, senheiser hd650 or hifiman sundara for 24k, sony xm4 is not match for them.
l own realme buds air 3 and rockers 550 and i really think realme buds sounds way better than rockers 550 for me and i had a realme neckband in the past which also had better audio quality compared to boat

How come AKG K361 BT is not in the list? Its damn good when it comes to the sound quality. Vocals are good Mids and Lows are pretty good , It also offers a great amount of comfort.

From an audiophile’s perspective, wired headphones are the best for sound quality. Get Samson SR850, Sony MDR-7506 or audio technica M40 or 50s. Wired headphones will last you a lifetime whereas as wireless will get deteriorate with time.
