OnePlus is making some of the high-end smartphones in India right now. If you've just got your hands on the newly launched OnePlus 7 Pro, your next natural step as a music lover is to equip yourself with good headphones.
Whether you love a lot of bass or like a balanced sound, need a mic in order to take calls; or need reliable headphones to use while commuting or while at work, this article should help you make the best choice. Let's dive right in and see what options you have, shall we?
What you should be looking for?
Sound Quality: The sound signature of every device is typically mentioned among those small icons on the collection page. Pick the earphones that give you your desired sound signature.
Sound Signatures in a nutshell.
1. Extra Bass: Bass is pumped-up a lot. Mostly tends to overpower the other frequencies.
2. Warm & Smooth: A slight boost in the bass. Other frequencies can easily be heard.
3. Bright: The opposite of warm & smooth. Here, the treble is slightly boosted.
4. V-Shaped: Both the treble and bass are boosted while the mids are reduced. Balanced: No one frequency is boosted.
Build: The design is important not only in terms of looks but also durability and usability. Features like minimal flat cables, a neckband or no-neckband fit and metal housings and accessible microphone signify good built and design.
Warranty: It is nice to feel secure about your belongings. When you are spending so much, expect a good after-sales service. Longer the warranty period, more durable the product (or service you can expect). Only original products come with warranty, so beware of fakes! All products sold on our website carry a manufacturer's warranty and you can read more about warranty here.
Sweat resistance: If you need a workout buddy, you do have a few options. Look for a device that provides IPX-rated sweat resistance as well as a good fit.
Battery life: A battery life that would last you for a day would be an ideal pick, won't it?
Here, we’ve tried to create a list of the best earphones keeping all these features in mind.

The 40 mm drivers impedance is rated at 26 ohms, and the 99 Neo weighs a trim 260 grams. A lot more of the stage to sway, 99 Neo's tonal balance sounds more lifelike, with the bass, midrange and treble balance that much smoother.
