When you are out in the market with a budget of ₹500, you have plenty of choices. But weeding out the right pair of earbuds for your use is kinda hard. You have brands like JBL with their C50HI offering a sound signature that has decent bass and build quality that will get you the value for your money. We have relatively newer names like Hammer, throwing their hats into the ring with their Moxie V50 earbuds. And, standing against such veterans are brands like boAt, realme, Boult Audio, and others. All their offerings have a bass-forward sound signature, so purists, save up. At this price, it is all about balancing your needs and expectations, especially in terms of sound signature, where too much bass can do more harm than good.
