 in India [With Mic]){kind=link}
You know what, 500 rupee is not a big amount to spend on earphones but that doesn’t mean that we buy such earphones that don’t serve the purpose. I’ve already explained how to buy earphones in this buying guide that sounds good and you should read it before you check my recommended list.
I am doing mixing and mastering of music for a very long time and I know what type of element earphones are missing nowadays. Some earphones produce harsh distorted noise and some too much deep bass. I am personally not a fan of deep bass but if it’s in a limit that I would not mind it either.
So, in this post, I am going to list some of the best earphones under 500 from Amazon and Flipkart that serves different purposes.
Overview of Content
1. Realme Buds 2 Earphones with Mic
Best for heavy bass
Main Specification
- #1 selling earphones on Amazon
- Clean responsive frequency
- A highly durable braided cable that lasts long
- 3 different silicon ear tips to match every ear size
- Built-in volume rocker to turn up and down music
- Noise cancellation holes
- 1.2 meter tangled free cable wires
- Too much bass
I personally like the design and build quality of Realme Buds 2 as it fits the purpose. It is a really really sturdy earphone as the edges of the cable are not easy to bend. Now talking about the features, these earphones can easily adopt any Android device. Which means you can pause and play music, use Google assistant with long 3 seconds press.
However, I have to say that bass is slightly on the stronger side, which few people may prefer. If you play party music, the mids sometimes gets muddy (for example the lead vocal) and becomes difficult to hear when you play it loud. On the other hand, soft music really really sounds great on these earphones. Overall, its good earphones for bass lovers.
2. Amkette Trubeats Atom X-10 with Mic
Best for balanced music
Main Specification
- Almost perfectly balanced frequency response
- Punchy bass with dynamic music drivers
- You can hear vocals loud and clear
- 3 different sizes of silicon tips
- Very cheap at price
- Noise isolation ready
- 1.2 meter cable with no wire tangeling
- Wire is very thin
If you want not too much bass, just a pure and impressive sound experience, Amkette Trubeats Atom X-10 should be your choice. This pair of headphone has very premium looking design and comfortable silicon tips that don’t cause any pain even with 2 hours of listening.
The makers of these earphones have not touched the mids because they want you to hear the natural vocals. Also there is a slight dynamic changes in the highs which makes songs more vibrant. Also for bass, they have introduced Booming Beats which only enhances deep bass from 20 to 150 hertz. So, I would really recommend to try these headphone once.

JBL is a pretty popular American company that distribute audio peripherals around the globe.

These are the spill-proof earphones which make the go underwater easily but do not do it too often as they are not waterproof. It fits different ear sizes and for your convenience, there are two more ear cups (small and large) to adopt different ear size. Overall, this earphone is a great deal and you will not be disappointed with your purchase.

The balancing of this pair of earphone is deep at bass level so you might need to set your equilizer to find the right spot according to your music taste.
The earphone is comfortable and built for everyday use. I would highly recommend these earphones if you want to listen to heavy bass tracks or maybe hip hop.
