What to Look for in Headphones Under ₹5000?
If all this technical jargon has got you confused, here’s a simple breakdown of which features you should prioritise to narrow down the best headphones under ₹5000:
1. Driver size
A headphone’s “driver” is like its little speaker inside. Typically, 40 mm (or thereabouts) is a good size as it gives you fuller sound, punchy bass, and better depth. In simple terms: bigger driver = more “room” for bass and richness.
2. Audio tech
Dolby Audio, Dolby Atmos, and Spatial Audio are some of the leading technologies in the audio world. If you care about sound quality and immersion, pick a pair of headphones packed with some serious tech.
3. Battery life
You don’t want to be looking for ports to plug in your headphones wherever you go. A good pair of headphones should offer at least 50 hours of playback, enough for 2-3 days of extensive usage.
4. Noise cancellation
Most premium headphones these days are engineered to block out background noise and come with two types of tech: ANC and ENC. While ANC makes your listening experience peaceful, ENC (or ENx, as we call it at boAt) makes your conversations noise-free.
5. Multi-device connectivity
Many of us juggle between a smartphone, laptop, and tablet throughout the day. With multipoint connectivity, you can stay connected across all your devices simultaneously and enjoy seamless transitions.
