What does "ships within 24/48 hours" mean?

In a nutshell, ships within 24/48 hours basically means that your product will be shipped out or dispatched from our warehouse within 24/48 hours after placing the order. It also indicates that the products are readily available at our warehouse and once we receive your order, we dispatch it out at the earliest either on the same day or the next working day depending on when you’ve placed your order.


What it does not mean:

A lot of our customers assume that it means their order will get delivered to them within 24/48 hours, but that’s not what it means. For an order to reach you, it can take anywhere up to 3-4 business days, depending on which part of India you are placing an order from.

For an accurate timeline, you can enter your pin code on the product page and check for an estimated date of arrival.

Why it Sounds Amazing

🔈 Dynamic Driver

The dynamic powerhouse of your sound ⚡!


I believe dynamic drivers are like the "reliable workhorses" of the headphone world - they've been perfected over decades and continue to deliver incredible performance. This driver design uses a lightweight diaphragm attached to a voice coil suspended within a permanent magnetic field, enabling precise and responsive movement that produces sound with remarkable efficiency. Think of them like precision engines that convert electrical energy into acoustic energy with impressive power and naturalness.


Dynamic drivers excel at delivering powerful and authoritative bass reproduction, clear midrange frequencies, and vibrant high frequencies. The inherent strengths ensure your music is reproduced with impressive dynamics and energy that stays true to the artist's intent 🎶.


When you see "🔈 Dynamic Driver" products, expect energetic, natural sound with excellent dynamics that bring every note and beat to life with exceptional realism.

🍯 Warm & Sparkly Sound Signature

In my experience, Warm & Sparkly 🍯 is one of the most musical and emotionally satisfying tunings you’ll come across. I like to think of it like a vintage tube amp with fairy lights—you get that cozy, golden warmth in the lows and mids, but with enough shimmer up top to keep things lively 🍯. This tuning enhances the body of instruments and vocals, giving them a rich, full texture, while also adding just the right amount of sparkle in the treble to make details pop. It’s a go-to for those who want to feel both emotion and excitement in their music—perfect for soul, indie, acoustic, or even modern pop.


Here’s what’s actually happening: the mid-bass and lower midrange are gently elevated, giving the sound a rounded, lush character, while the upper treble (around 8–10kHz) is also lifted slightly for brilliance and air. The result is a sound that feels smooth yet detailed, without harshness or fatigue. You’ll notice vocals have weight and emotion, cymbals have a natural sheen, and instruments feel both rich and crisp. The trade-off? If you're coming from a flat or analytical signature, this might feel a touch coloured—but that’s what makes it so engaging. It’s an inviting sound that flatters almost every genre 🎶.


When you see '🍯 Warm & Sparkly' products, expect a lush, emotionally rich sound with just enough treble shine, ideal for listeners who love warmth without losing clarity.

💣 Thick Bass / Kickass Bass

When I say kickass bass, I’m talking about bass that slaps you right in the face—in the best way possible. It’s that visceral, chest-thumping low-end that makes you feel like you’re in the front row of a concert or a nightclub. If you’re into hip-hop, EDM, Bollywood beats, or anything with a deep groove, this is where the fun begins. 🔊💥


Here’s what’s going on technically: the low-frequency range is heavily emphasised, resulting in powerful sub-bass rumble and impactful mid-bass slam. This kind of tuning brings weight, warmth, and physicality to your music. The trade-off? It might mask some midrange detail or high-frequency sparkle—but for bassheads, the emotional payoff is more than worth it.

🍦 Smooth & Sweet Treble

Seeking something that sounds smooth and devoid of harshness 🥰? I tend to describe these headphones as having "silk-like highs" that caress your ears rather than assault them. These products are meticulously designed to deliver high frequencies that are wonderfully gentle, offering a listening experience that's both sophisticated and delightful. Think of it like the difference between premium chocolate and cheap candy - both are sweet, but one provides refined pleasure while the other can be overwhelming.


The carefully tuned treble presentation ensures musical details come through with remarkable clarity while maintaining natural, fatigue-free character. The refined high-frequency presentation maintains excellent detail and air while avoiding any hint of harshness or stridency ✨.


When you see "🍦 Smooth & Sweet Treble" products, expect refined high frequencies that deliver crisp detail with a touch of sweetness and sophistication.

🥃 Perfect to Layback & Relax

In my experience, a laid-back sound is like sinking into your favorite armchair after a long day. It doesn’t push details in your face or try to overwhelm you with energy. Instead, it gives your music room to breathe and unfold naturally. Think of it like sipping a glass of smooth whisky—there’s warmth, body, and ease. These headphones or IEMs are ideal for those who want to unwind and soak in a mellow vibe, whether it's a jazz trio or acoustic singer-songwriter set. 🎧


Now, what’s actually happening here is a tuning that gently rolls off the treble and offers a warm, full low-end. The midrange stays intimate, while bass adds comfort without punch, and highs avoid fatigue, making long sessions a pleasure. You won’t get maximum detail or separation—but that’s the point. It’s not about dissecting the mix—it’s about relaxing into it. For bedtime listening or just zoning out, this is your sonic hammock. 😌
