Chifi has a come a long way since the days of Vsonics in India, when the only reputed store was Hifinage. I have too used and suggested plenty Vsonic IEMs circa 2014-2015. However, the market is a whole lot different today. The options are routinely better and you get more out of your investment.

For neutral/bright neutral sound signatures, I'd suggest picking up either the Fiio FH1S or the Dunu Titan S. The Titan S is better in terms of frequency response and tonality, while the FH1S will provide you better sub-bass, details and resolution. The Knowles BA on the FH1S has been tuned...

Anything around the 2K INR price point will be a major upgrade over the Piston. You can choose from the BL03, CRA and Lea. Pair a good USB-C dongle with the same, and you'll be good to go.

If you like the sound signature of the BL03, that means you like bass-inducing, laid-back, warm and smooth sound. Hence, you'll not like the T2 or the Moondrop SSR/SSP. These are mid-focused IEMs with peaky treble. I'd rather suggest looking at the Tripowin x HBB Mele. Comes at around 5K and...

I suggest trying out The Gaming Project. It's a cloud gaming service based in India and offers 20 hours playtime for 199 INR (which would be enough for your use case). Simply use your Steam library for playing. https://thegamingproject.co/pricing

Get an iPhone if you want your Indian variant to work flawlessly with the US carriers.

The 6A has the same heating and throttling issues as the previous Exynos chipsets: Also, the security on the 6A is bad, as can be exhibited from the fingerprint scanner issue here:

Just because you've spent on an expensive amp, doesn't mean it's worth it. This isn't a post for your confirmation bias. Multiple hobbyists including Crinacle, Joshua Valour, Timmy Vangtan as well as the entire headphone community on Reddit discourage people from buying expensive amps/dacs. For...

Samsung is your only option currently. Take a look at the F22. Comes with an OLED display, 6000 mah battery, Mediatek G80 SoC, updated to Android 12 and the 6GB/128GB variant falls under 15K INR.

Honestly, I'd suggest holding up. This is July already and the next batch of iPhones are coming out in 1-2 months time. As a result, you'll be able to pick up the iPhone 12 new for the same price you're paying for the old now. And if I had to pick between the two, I'd go for the 11 Pro. Better...

The ratio of headphone to amps/dacs should ideally be 4:1. Instead, this guy went the other way around, spending more than four times the amount he spent on his pair of headphones.

If the success of your business depends on a virality of a reel, then you're doing it wrong. There are various other effective ways to get customers and pushing a viral reel isn't one of them. You need a steady stream of loyal, paying customers and you can't achieve that if the focus is only on...

Miser? Definitely. However, there's no denying that Steam has pushed the PC industry forward. At a time when Epic backed out of the PC business in 2008 because of Gears, Xbox and blaming everything on piracy, Steam held its own. I have been using Steam for the past decade and the evolution of...

The psychological aspect of "free" things is that - people tend to less appreciate things that come to them for free. Case in point, Epic doing free giveaways for almost 3 years now and still not even close to Steam in terms of revenue/market share. The thing is - when you've built your...

The OP has a pretty decent specced gaming laptop. Hence, Steam gaming won't be a problem, unless he has other plans. So, consider my suggestion as a way to convince him to ditch costly subscription services on consoles. Collecting digital perpetual license isn't a hobby. It's a way of...

I'm not sure you're accustomed to Steam. Most games (apart from a few publishers) come with regional pricing. So, a newly released game costing $60 elsewhere (and on consoles) will cost around $13-15 in the Indian Steam store. Hence, you are already paying less. And then you have multiple sales...

I don't support or recommend subscription services, especially for games. Yes, in movies, it can work, since you'll only be spending two-three hours of your life. But, games are a different mode of entertainment. The reason is because, you cannot expect a game to finish within mere 2-3 hours...

Unless you're a fitness freak or don't like to have your phone with you at all times, there's absolutely no need to get an Apple Watch or any smart watch for that matter. Most people I see using smart watches buy it for show-off or use the features for the first couple of days, and then continue...

Out of topic: What were your reasoning behind buying all these cheap earphones in bulk instead of spending just on one for your daily driver? For instance, you could have got the CCA CRA for the same price you spent on these three.

The weight should not be much of an issue. With a good grippy case (preferably from Spigen), it will only take a week or so to get accustomed to the weight. My mom also made quite a similar switch - from a Nokia 5233 (113g) to a LG W41 (201g). Every One UI device these days support Smart...
