    Any good audio/mp3 players?

    @KAKAN @ibose I've also been on the lookout for a dedicated device for listening to music, and inspired by these posts, I fixed up my old iPhone 5c (display and battery replaced) and the SQ on it is just brilliant. Surprisingly, Apple Music is still officially supported on it. If you're okay...

    40K+ Should I switch from iPhone 13 to S23 or S24 ?

    @CrimeMouse It's simple. If you see yourself getting into the apple ecosystem, you may want to stick to it, or upgrade to a different iPhone. If your answer is no, just change it. But, iPhones do come with a file manager where you can manage your docs & stuff in specific folders stored locally...

    15-20K Good phone between 15 to 20k for a college student

    Go for the CMF phone 1. The modding ability + accessories would be a cool thing to flaunt in college. The phone's been getting wonderful reviews too. IP rating is the only concern (it's only IP 52). May not be as resistant to water splashes or rain as other phones.

    High density power bank (30k-50k mah)

    Check out Portronics. They have a 27,000mah powerbank with display. Should be safe for flights too. https://www.flipkart.com/portronics-27000-mah-65-w-power-bank/product-reviews/itm84b0f0570f636?pid=PWBGXAXQKNRTKYZS&lid=LSTPWBGXAXQKNRTKYZSE71GWH&marketplace=FLIPKART

    Looking for Bluetooth over ear headphones at 2k

    Yes, I'd be very interested to check out the CMF pro 2. I love what they are doing in the budget segment. Even their neckband earphones look so cool with the volume dial. Good SQ can definitely obtained without spending big money these days.

    Looking for Bluetooth over ear headphones at 2k

    There are a couple of other drawbacks too. The ANC and transparency mode are just name sake and don't really do a good job in either of the modes. And like I mentioned already, it lets wind noises through in both the modes which can be irritating ( but because they're IEMS there's always passive...

    Looking for Bluetooth over ear headphones at 2k

    Sorry, I haven't tried Chu / Chu II. Spacetravel has been my introduction to Moondrop. I tend to use IEMs only when traveling / during work outs.

    Earpads/cushion replacement for JBL Quantum 100s?

    They might even stock it just for you, I had left them a request to bring light grey velour ear pads for my jabra revo headphones through amazon's contact seller option, and I find that it's in stock in a few weeks. And the ear pad covers looks cool. It's given your headphone a rasta make...

    Looking for Bluetooth over ear headphones at 2k

    It's pretty good. I don't think the case holds a lot of charge though. I get 3-4 hrs with just the earbuds and the case will be able to top it up 2-3 times. You can still get the space travel because they're so cheap. And the sound quality in normal mode is fantastic (both the ANC and...

    Looking for Bluetooth over ear headphones at 2k

    You could also try non in ear tws earbuds. Moondrop has recently launched a model called block. It's available for pre-order rn. I use their space travel tws earbuds and they're excellent. But if you want to go the headphones route, check out sound core q10 by anker.

    Just bought a new gaming pc, and need suggestions for games to play.

    Cocoon looks interesting. I'll check it out. Thanks. And yes, I was excited for somerville lunch but since a majority of the reviews said it was slightly underwhelming, I lost interest. solid recommendations. I've played little nightmares 1 & 2 and it was scary fun. I'll check them out. Thanks

    Just bought a new gaming pc, and need suggestions for games to play.

    Damn, I wish I had seen your recommendations when the steam sale was on. I'm a big fan of limbo, celeste and Firewatch. @sabino One game I can recommend in a heartbeat is the follow-up to limbo by playdead studios - "Inside". It's an IGN 10/10. Check it out.

    Earpads/cushion replacement for JBL Quantum 100s?

    I haven't tried them, sorry. But I suspect they won't alter the sound much as they appear to be quite thin from the looks of it.

    Portable Fan.

    Maybe I'm replying too late. But checkout the brands "gaiatop" and "frsara" on amazon India. They have a lot of options for you to choose from. I got one with a suspension lanyard for my father who sweats a lot and wanted something to cool him off when he's at his desk. It has been working well...

    Any clue what happened to F&D and Creative in India?

    We still use F&D W-330BT 2.1 speakers at home (bought for 3.3K in 2014 from snap deal when it was trustable). It's used with our archaic dell tower PC running intel core i3 1st gen. The speaker still sounds very good. Good enough to be used for a small house party. I alslo had a super compact...

    Earpads/cushion replacement for JBL Quantum 100s?

    I use replacement ear pads from a brand called crysendo for most of my headphones. But it looks like they don't have ear pads in stock for the quantum 100. They do have stock for other quantum models though. You could give them a try if you think they'll fit. Also, if you're only worried about...

    Any good audio/mp3 players?

    You're right. 2 - 3 weeks back, I saw Walmart was having a few pieces of the "Clip jam" in stock. But sandisk should have never replaced the clip plus with the clip jam. They all look the same, so I am confused too. Unless someone did an A-B comparison, we may never know. I've tried my...

    Please help me find a Hir-res speakers and sub

    My bad. I thought the OP wanted speakers for home theatre that was also good for music. If listening to music is the only objective, I agree 2.0 /2.1 speakers make the most sense. You could also look at the JBL 104 bt. Seems you can snag one for a great price (8.5k) on amazon rn.

    Any good audio/mp3 players?

    Music streaming can be a double edged sword. When we were confined to offline music, I remember, my taste in music (good or bad) was pretty well defined. I could at least tell my top 5 bands at any given time. With music streaming, and the sea of music it gives us access to, I find that I've...

    Any good audio/mp3 players?

    My sister and I nagged my father enough to persuade to him to buy us both mp3 players when we were in college (2006 ish). I remember purchasing two identical transcend t.sonic 615 mp3 players from oasis IT store in Ritchie street, Chennai. It was paired with the creative ep-630 for servicing my...
