5. Branded Headphones

Branded headphones can give you perfect sound quality. But for them you might end up paying thousands of bucks. If your budget is high then you must go for branded headphones which come from the brands like Beats, Skullcandy and creative. But if you are low on budget (Anything less than INR 2000) then it’s better not to consider the brand as an option.
