Can a 150 bucks ear phone beat a Rs.600 samsung ear phones in FM radio quality ?

Shukhrwar Peth is the new Pimpri or Camp area:shock:

pheww! how’d you find it Sir. or was it recommended.
does not look like a ‘shop’ i would step up for initially (unless sure). but appearances ARE deceptive

yes that’s the one you got bang on.

I was referred to find the shop by a friend from the same industry.

Its a big shop. on the left side there is another shutter which takes care of retail sales.

Its just a front end. the guy deals majorly deals from his warehouse.

Its between Dagdushet ganapati and swargate so is in the old city.

If you go there do try the headphones

okie great. worth a dekko then. otherwise between Made in USA [Ulhasnagar S Association] and Made in China, its not easy to spot the quality stuff.

not from Pune either and not in Pune either at the moment. but noted the info to pass on to __

hope these last a while for you. a speaker is basically just a membrane vibrating against a good magnet [exceptions being neodymium speakers].
so if its made in a proper way, mostly it will work.

P.S.: you are not benchmarking them in a ‘test environment’. the range , capturing the lows and such factors are going to be difficult to make out from a small sample use. besides its on a traffic ridden street. this is not to patronise expensive stuff, merely an observation

The oem manufacturing cost of an in-ear headphone from an unbranded to samsung might not be more than 10%

The real cost is the R&D lab, huge salaries to the staff managing them, Fat salary of the CEO, commission of the intermediaries and company profit of 30%.

An unbranded would use an older technology and cut all those costs bringing the cost from 1000 to 100

UFONE was worth mentioning because the manufacturer and the importer took the risk of putting in those extra 10% and coming out with the product. I think even HTC evolved in a similar way.

why FM ?

• Well its impossible to find same song on 2 random mobiles handsets
• Its impossible to play the same song synced between 2 handsets to judge the quality.
• Its not about pitching samsung with ufone they cannot be a comparison.

Its about a oem manufacturer thinking differently and giving real VFM to us the consumer.

The issue here is for how long it will work, these could be good but how is the build quality of the wiring i have noticed that bad ones get spoilt fast too..
