Audiogasm Festival Par Excellence!
Attending the Headphone Connect event at the Taj Palace in New Delhi was a dream come true. The opportunity to see all types of audiophile equipment, including some of the most drool-worthy IEMs and headphones, under one roof was one that no audiophile should pass up.

Radhikarani Sengupta
Amazing experience!
Got to try so many different brands, types and sound signatures at one go! The folks from headphone zone were very helpful and encouraging.
I discovered that money isn't the only criterion to consider when choosing a headphone. Find a mix of comfort, sound signature and budget that works for your type of music.Thank you headphone zone .
Soumen Ghosh
A great experience
The event was great. Got to meet some awesome people. It does make you feel that you are not the only crazy person in the ever expanding hobby. I got to try lot of great portable and not so portable audio systems. I would be waiting for this event again somewhere in the distant future.
Kamalasish Deb
Amazing experience. Best Saturday ever..
The fact that I was able to listen to all those audio equipments that my heart desired at one place was truly overwhelming. I was like Mr. Bean in the episode where he goes for the Black Friday sale..😂😂😂
Nithin Ayathan
A big thank you to Headphone Zone
The Headphone Connect event was a rare treat for audiophiles. Having the chance to not only test out headphones but also experiment with various DAC setups was invaluable. It provided a comprehensive understanding of the nuances between different setups, allowing for informed decisions. The event offered a unique opportunity to experience top-notch audio quality firsthand, making it a must-visit for anyone serious about their sound experience.
Nirmal Varghese
Headphone Zone have put in a tremendous effort
Well organised, courteous staff, and a wide range of headphones, audiophile and regular. Good to experience the different sound characteristics of electrostatic, planar and dynamic, from various brands. For me the standouts were the Hifiman he 1000se, Dan Clark E3 and the Stax series, including the new SR-X1 with matching energiser. The staff provided expert guidance on selection. A chance to listen first before buying. Going early helped, get's crowded later, at all tables, including iem's. I didn't check out the iem earphones.A big thanks to Raghav and his helpful team. Much appreciated.

Head-fun Connect
If you like music and meeting like-minded people, then a Headphone Connect is the place to be. The added advantage is that you get to try the best of the best. My second time at a Headphone Connect and I was more prepared, I had my own gear for reference, I had my own playlist carefully curated to show off various characteristics of sound on good headphones and I was open to try new gear and new music. The four hours I spent there went by so fast.
The team from Headphone Zone is amazing, the few names I remember and they do deserve a special mention, Mahima, Varun, Ian, Karan, Ryan and of course Raghav who gave me ample time.
If there is a Headphone Connect happening near you, don't miss it. You will not regret it.

If there’s something specific you want to listen to, speak to one of our Gurus and we'll try our best to get those for you.
I don't know anything about audiophilia. Can I still come?
There will be plenty of people to guide you on how to listen to music on various headphone systems.
Is there a dress code for the event?
Yes, because why not! You can pick up an Audiophile T-shirt here. But don't sweat it, it's not a compulsion.
Can I change the location after registration / Will I get a refund if I cancel?
No, unfortunately, a change of location won’t be possible. You could cancel your existing registration and re-register for the location you want to attend. Any cancellations would be non-refundable.
My friend just arrived in town. Can I get him/her along? Do I need to get them to register?
Yes! The more the merrier. Just remember to get them to register for the event in advance.

Sure. Just tell your friend to mention that he/she will be taking your place at the Headphone Connect.

Customer Reviews
Reached around 11 AM and was welcomed by Saikiran from Headphone Zone, who helped me explore IEMs based on my sound preferences. The variety of IEMs blew my mind—I was so lost in music that I didn’t even visit the food counter!
Had a great conversation with Raghav (founder). I told him I was skeptical about paying ₹1,700 as a beginner, but after the experience, I felt it was totally worth it. He said something that stayed with me:
“This event isn’t about selling IEMs, it’s about sharing the passion for music.”
After trying many options, I finally picked the Headphonezone x Oriveti OD200 with help from Saikiran and Raghav. Truly an unforgettable first experience into the audiophile world.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review for Headphone Connect Ahmedabad. We are so glad to hear that you had an amazing experience at our event and that our team, particularly Saikiran and Raghav, were able to help you find the perfect IEMs for your sound preferences. We are so happy to have been a part of your first audiophile event and we hope to see you at future events as well. Thank you for being a part of our passion for music!
It was truly a dream come true—this was my first time attending, and meeting Rahul in person was nothing short of surreal. I hold immense respect for this man, whose dedication has not only brought the hobby to India but also made it accessible to people like me. I remember the days when I used to enjoy music on subpar equipment, but now I find myself immersed in the rich world of audiophilia, thanks to his efforts. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming, making me feel at ease as a newcomer to this hobby. I also had the privilege of meeting many like-minded individuals and even made a few new friends.
To sum up the experience, I had the opportunity to listen to 18 pairs of IEMs, spanning various price ranges and sound signatures, and I even dipped my toes into the world of high-end headphones, trying 3 flagship models. In retrospect, I might have benefited from starting with something more beginner-friendly, but then again, there’s always next year—and I can hardly wait for it to come around!
Thank you for your heartfelt review!
I am a casual music listener, I only listen to Spotify or YouTube music, mostly mp3. Two of my friends and I decided to attend the event to try various high-end audio equipment, and boy it was worth it. The headphone zone team is very helpful and friendly to answer your queries about music and the equipment. I could not listen to all the equipment even though I attended the entire day from start to end because I spent 90% of the day at the IEM table 😅.
Some tips from me to make the most out of the event and be more efficient to find your favourite IEMs/headphones/DAC in case you're looking to purchase one:
1. Make a playlist of your favourite music tracks across all your genres. Have this playlist available with you offline either on phone or some device from which you can play it. About 30 min of music should be more than enough. You can carry more.
There's also a playlist on Spotify made by headphone zone team. You can use that itself and listen to it on your own equipment before coming for the event.
2. They provide you a DAC if you don't have one, but get your own portable DAC if possible. Preferably one with a 4.4mm and 3.5mm output. As some of the IEMs required 4.4mm connection.
3. For IEMs, If you have your own ear tips, carry them along as some IEM ear tips may not fit you snug and you will not experience the sound at it's best.
4. Take breaks in between after listening continuously, like every 1hr. This may vary from person to person, but for me, I got saturated listening to the same tracks over and over on different IEMs, trying to analyse the sound. I didn't have a playlist ready so I wasted quite some time searching for songs on my phone and got exhausted more.
5. Do your own research on what IEMs/headphones you would like to listen to. This will help you skip the equipment you don't want to listen to and it's going to save you a lot of time as you cannot listen to every possible equipment with the limited time. But don't worry, if you're confused what headphone/IEMs to listen to, just ask the staff for a recommendation!
6. Every person's hearing is different, and it's ok to not like the sound of the headphone or IEMs you listen to. Accepting that and moving on to other items instead of convincing yourself to like the sound will help you find your favourite ones.
7. Don't sweat too much about the specifications of the equipment, like 5BA, 2DD, 1EST etc, or the price. What matters is how good it sounds to you, and how comfortable it is while wearing it. If those criteria are not met, the specifications do not matter.
8. It's ok if you don't get to try everything, but everything you try, you must try it properly, not in a hurried way. Relax, take your time. Enjoy the music.
Carry a hoodie or jacket in case the AC is too cold. You won't enjoy the music if you're freezing. 🥶
One suggestion I had for the headphone zone team is, you can consider arranging the IEMs in clusters based on their sound signature instead of brands or price, because generally people would like to compare different IEMs with similar sound signature and across price ranges.
Looking forward to next year! 😄
Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're so glad you had a great time at Headphone Connect Mumbai 2025. Your tips are super helpful for future attendees, and we love how you emphasized enjoying the music over just specs. Hope to see you soon! 😊
After so many years of reading and watching many videos about so many headphones, it was a dream come true to actually try them out! Such events are a god-send for audiophiles so that they get to try expensive headphones and equipment and make an informed purchase decision and be super satisfied with the purchase decision. We need more such events and more headphones please!!
Thank you for the kind words! We're thrilled you had such an amazing experience.
Was pleasantly surprised to see Raghav while I was waiting up to the first floor at Sheraton pune. I was about 2 hrs late and he really made me feel at home and personally showed me around which was really nice. I've always seen him on YouTube before this and was really nice to meet him in person.Good to listen to so many iems and headphones and discover new favourites. Also spoke to Ian, Ryan and Hector who had helped me make purchase decisions in the past. Id also had a light meal in the morning and had started to feel a little hungry by the time I had reached Sheraton however by then snacks were available and I fueled up which helped me spend the next 6 hrs to listen to music non stop. If I could only suggest one thing it would be to have atleast one non veg option in the menu that is satiating , thereby adding to the overall experience. I would definitely visit next time, now that i know what to expect, with a bucket list of audio devices to test drive!
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a great review. We're thrilled to hear that you had a really good experience at our Headphone Connect Pune. We're also happy to hear that you were pleasantly surprised to see Raghav and that he made you feel at home. It's always a pleasure to have audiophiles meet our team in person.Hope to see you soon!
