2. Sony MDR ZX 300

The Sony MDR ZX 300 is a product of the perfect amalgamation of style and technology. They are available in four combinations of colors: black and silver, black and blue, dark and light red, and white and silver.

They are ultra light weighing in at only 120 g, and extremely comfortable. They are pair of on-ear headphones and sit comfortably on the ears without causing over heating from long wear. This feature, although, does not guarantee any natural sound isolation or prevention of noise to bleed out, but the padding on the ear cups helps towards achieving both- isolation and sound from bleeding out- fairly a little. The 30 mm neodymium drivers, embedded into the ear cups channelize sound directly into the ear canals without the slightest hesitation or hiss. The cables separately terminate into two 3.5mm jacks in both ear cups and join into a single cable to be inserted into the audio source. It can be a tad bit cumbersome, but that is how Sony likes its products and as users, one gets accustomed to it. Sony is ideally bass heavy, which is reflected in the Sony MDR ZX 300 as well. The thumping of the bass, though, is never too overpowering or overwhelming. However, it does manage to strike a balance between the bass and the mid and higher ranges to produce a holistic experience. They are tough and durable and can surely take a few hard falls, not that we advice you do it though. It is reasonably priced and brings to the table every feature required in a music experience.

3. Philips Fidelo M1

The Philips Fidelo M1 is probably one of the best cheap headphones available in this category.

The remote, however, does not contain volume controls. The cables are also cloth covered and the kind that does not cause friction on brushing against your clothing. In terms of sound, the Fidelo M1 does exceeding well for itself. Be it playback or talk back, the Fidelo M1 produces great clarity. It is not bass heavy, as most headphones are. But it creates a beautiful balance among the bass, the middle and the high range. It is a little contained, in terms on sound, which actually accentuates its performance.
