Croma Earbuds and Headphone Deals August 2026: Rs. 349 to Rs. 37,990

One hundred and forty-two votes is the largest rating sample anywhere in this read, which tells you how thin the evidence is on Croma's audio shelf generally - 37 listings carry a rating and 36 of them have double digits or fewer. This one is a wired earphone with a 4.6 average and a Rs. 1,799 price, and it is the first of eight listings in the read sold at exactly that number. Its badge is 10 per cent, because Sony's stated MRP is Rs. 1,990. Two cards down, the same Rs. 1,799 shows 36 per cent because another brand claimed Rs. 2,799.

• Price: Rs. 1,799 (stated MRP Rs. 1,990)
• Key detail: 142 ratings - the biggest sample of 47 listings, and the only one over 100
• Discount: 10% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 191
• Rating: 4.6 from 142 Croma ratings
• Role: Largest rating sample in the read
• Buying logic: The evidence buy of the shelf, if wired is acceptable

Two hundred and one rupees is the entire gap between price and claim, which is how Apple prices everything on this shelf: its four listings carry badges of 5, 8, 10 and 21 per cent. EarPods with a USB-C plug are a commodity accessory and the price is the product. What makes this card interesting is only its neighbours - it costs exactly what the Sony wired earphone costs, exactly what three OnePlus listings cost, and exactly what three realme neckbands cost, and the discount badges across that group range from 10 to 36 per cent.

• Price: Rs. 1,799 (stated MRP Rs. 2,000)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,799 with a stated Rs. 2,000 - a Rs. 201 gap
• Discount: 10% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 201
• Rating: 4.2 from only 30 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: The same price, from Apple
• Buying logic: A known quantity at a fixed price

This is where the Rs. 1,799 shelf becomes genuinely useful rather than merely curious: at one price you can buy a wired Sony earphone, a wired Apple accessory, a OnePlus neckband or these true wireless earbuds. The badge is 10 per cent on all of the OnePlus and Apple rows, because both brands print MRPs around Rs. 2,000. OnePlus's six listings in the read carry badges of 10, 10, 10, 15, 16 and 16 - the tightest band of any brand here. Nineteen ratings at 4.4 is a thin sample, as almost everything on this shelf is.

• Price: Rs. 1,799 (stated MRP Rs. 1,999)
• Key detail: True wireless earbuds at Rs. 1,799 - the same price as a wired earphone here
• Discount: 10% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 200
• Rating: 4.4 from only 19 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: TWS at the same number
• Buying logic: The value shape of the Rs. 1,799 group

OnePlus puts the Bullets Z3 on this shelf twice at Rs. 1,799 and once at Rs. 1,699, all at 10 to 15 per cent, and the Nord Buds 3r at Rs. 1,799 as well. A brand that prices four listings within a hundred rupees and discounts them all by a tenth is running a price architecture, not a sale. Fourteen ratings at 4.6 is not evidence of anything; it is four more people than the realme row below. The neckband form factor - a collar with a battery, buds on wires - is the format that refuses to die in India because it charges once and lasts a commute week.

• Price: Rs. 1,799 (stated MRP Rs. 1,999)
• Key detail: One of three OnePlus rows at Rs. 1,799 and 10% off
• Discount: 10% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 200
• Rating: 4.6 from only 14 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: One brand, one badge
• Buying logic: Only if you want the neckband format specifically

Rs. 1,799 with a stated Rs. 2,799 makes 36 per cent; Rs. 1,799 with a stated Rs. 1,999 makes 10. Five listings, one checkout price, and a badge spread of twenty-six points produced entirely inside the MRP column. realme lists this neckband three times in different colours at the same price and badge, which is also why its rating pool is split across rows at 4.6, 4.2 and 3.6 from five, eleven and five votes. Active noise cancellation on a Rs. 1,799 neckband is a real feature and a modest one; nothing on this shelf at this price cancels much.

• Price: Rs. 1,799 (stated MRP Rs. 2,799)
• Key detail: 36% off at Rs. 1,799, where OnePlus and Apple show 10% at the same price
• Discount: 36% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,000
• Rating: 4.6 from only 11 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: The same price, 36 per cent off
• Buying logic: The best-specified thing at the shelf's common price

Three hundred and forty-nine rupees against Rs. 37,990 at the other end of the same shelf - a factor of 109, spanned by three queries at one retailer. BassHeads is the wired earphone that built boAt into India's largest audio brand and it is still the sensible answer to "I need something today". Sixty-two ratings at 4.3 is, absurdly, the second-largest sample in this entire read. The 65 per cent badge sits against a stated Rs. 999 that no boAt buyer has ever paid.

• Price: Rs. 349 (stated MRP Rs. 999)
• Key detail: Rs. 349 - the floor of a shelf whose ceiling is Rs. 37,990
• Discount: 65% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 650
• Rating: 4.3 from only 62 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Cheapest listing in the read
• Buying logic: The default cheap earphone, still

Eighty per cent off a stated Rs. 3,499 puts this at Rs. 694, and the claim is doing all the work: Noise's three listings here carry badges of 56, 63 and 80 per cent while its prices sit between Rs. 694 and Rs. 1,499. Nine people have rated this pair 3.9, which is the lowest score in the sub-Rs. 1,000 group and a sample too small to mean much either way. True wireless earbuds at under seven hundred rupees are a real category in India now; what they buy is playback and a case, not noise cancellation worth the name, whatever the listing says.

• Price: Rs. 694 (stated MRP Rs. 3,499)
• Key detail: 80% off - the deepest cut of 47 listings - on a nine-vote sample
• Discount: 80% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,805
• Rating: 3.9 from only 9 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Deepest badge in the read
• Buying logic: Cheap TWS, with the badge disregarded

Eleven hundred rupees separates this from the OnePlus neckband in chapter one, and both are collar-style Bluetooth earphones with a mic. What the extra money buys upstream is battery figures, codec support and build - none of which either listing quantifies in a way you could compare. boAt's four rows here run Rs. 349 to Rs. 899 with badges of 65, 72, 73 and 73 per cent, the most consistent deep-badge behaviour on the shelf. Twenty-six ratings at 4.4 is thin but is more evidence than most listings above it carry.

• Price: Rs. 699 (stated MRP Rs. 2,490)
• Key detail: Rs. 699 for a neckband, against Rs. 1,799 for the same format from OnePlus
• Discount: 72% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,791
• Rating: 4.4 from only 26 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: The Rs. 699 neckband
• Buying logic: The cheap commute neckband

Croma's own label claims Rs. 1,000 and charges Rs. 749. Noise claims Rs. 3,499 and charges Rs. 694. The two pairs of true wireless earbuds are fifty-five rupees apart at checkout and fifty-five percentage points apart in the discount column, and the retailer's own brand is the one printing the honest number. Croma has six listings in this read at badges of 25, 31, 36, 37, 48 and 48 per cent - restrained by the standards of this shelf. Nineteen ratings at 4.3 is the usual thin sample.

• Price: Rs. 749 (stated MRP Rs. 1,000)
• Key detail: A stated Rs. 1,000 - a Rs. 251 gap, against Rs. 2,805 on the Noise pair above
• Discount: 25% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 251
• Rating: 4.3 from only 19 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: House brand, modest claim
• Buying logic: The house-brand TWS, priced plainly

Four point eight from five ratings is not a score, and the same product appears twice in our read - once at 4.8 from five votes and once at 5.0 from four - which is a neat demonstration of why we print counts rather than stars. What is solid is the price: Rs. 899 for Airdopes from the brand that sells more true wireless earbuds in India than anyone. The 73 per cent badge rests on a stated Rs. 3,290 that is best read as boAt's launch ambition rather than a price anybody paid.

• Price: Rs. 899 (stated MRP Rs. 3,290)
• Key detail: A 4.8 built from five votes - the shelf's least usable score
• Discount: 73% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,391
• Rating: 4.8 from only 5 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: The 73 per cent rung
• Buying logic: A safe cheap TWS, bought on the brand not the 4.8

Two listings at Rs. 899 on the same shelf: this Croma neckband at 31 per cent off a stated Rs. 1,300, and the boAt Airdopes above at 73 per cent off a stated Rs. 3,290. The retailer's own label is again the one with the modest claim. Six ratings at 3.8 is the weakest evidence-and-score combination in this chapter and the honest reading is that nobody knows. A neckband at Rs. 899 with environmental noise cancellation on the mic - which is what ENC means, call clarity rather than silence for the listener - is a commuting accessory, priced as one.

• Price: Rs. 899 (stated MRP Rs. 1,300)
• Key detail: Rs. 899 with a Rs. 401 gap to its claim - the house brand again
• Discount: 31% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 401
• Rating: 3.8 from only 6 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: The 31 per cent rung
• Buying logic: Only if you want a neckband at this exact price

Two point eight is the lowest average in the read among listings with more than ten ratings, and it belongs to the retailer's own label at Rs. 899. Seventeen votes is still a thin sample, but it is nearly double what most of this shelf carries and it points in one direction. We are including it because a house brand's modest MRP claim - Rs. 1,400 here - does not make its product good, and this page has already praised Croma twice for pricing honestly. Honest pricing and a 2.8 can coexist, and on this listing they do.

• Price: Rs. 899 (stated MRP Rs. 1,400)
• Key detail: 2.8 from 17 votes - the weakest average of anything with more than ten ratings
• Discount: 36% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 501
• Rating: 2.8 from only 17 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Lowest score with a usable sample
• Buying logic: No, on the evidence available

realme is the busiest brand on this shelf with ten listings between Rs. 1,244 and Rs. 2,999, and its badges run 36 to 59 per cent - consistently the deepest of the mainstream brands. This is the entry rung: environmental noise cancellation rather than active, a smaller battery claim, Rs. 500 below the Buds Wireless 5 in chapter one. Fifteen ratings at 4.3. Across four realme neckband listings in the read the ratings are 4.3, 4.2, 5.0 and 4.6 from 15, 6, 3 and 11 votes, which is thirty-five people in total describing what is essentially one product line.

• Price: Rs. 1,299 (stated MRP Rs. 2,499)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,299 - realme's cheapest neckband here, at 48% off
• Discount: 48% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,200
• Rating: 4.3 from only 15 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: The 48 per cent rung
• Buying logic: The cheap end of the ANC-adjacent neckbands

Croma lists the Sony WI-C100 twice in this read: here at Rs. 1,399 with a 50 per cent badge, and again at Rs. 1,599 with 43 per cent, both against the same stated Rs. 2,790. Same model, same retailer, same day, Rs. 200 apart - the difference is a colour or a listing ID rather than a product. The two rows even carry different ratings, 3.5 from 27 votes here and 4.0 from 60 there, because the rating pools do not merge. If you want this earphone, this is the row to buy, and the reason to check every colour before checkout.

• Price: Rs. 1,399 (stated MRP Rs. 2,790)
• Key detail: The identical model sells at Rs. 1,599 elsewhere in this read
• Discount: 50% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,391
• Rating: 3.5 from only 27 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: The same Sony, cheaper
• Buying logic: Buy this row, not the Rs. 1,599 one

Sixty ratings at 4.0 here against 27 at 3.5 on the Rs. 1,399 row, for the same earphone. That is the awkward part: the cheaper listing is the better buy on price and the dearer one has more than twice the evidence, and both facts are about the listing rather than the product. Where a retailer splits one model across rows, the sensible reading is to combine them - 87 people, averaging about 3.8 - and then buy the cheaper row. We have seated both cards precisely so the split is visible.

• Price: Rs. 1,599 (stated MRP Rs. 2,790)
• Key detail: Rs. 200 more than the identical model above, and a better-rated listing row
• Discount: 43% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,191
• Rating: 4.0 from only 60 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: The same Sony, dearer
• Buying logic: Read its 60 votes, then buy the Rs. 1,399 row

A 4.7 from three ratings is arithmetic, not a verdict, and we have attached no rating pill to it. What is notable is that the retailer's own label - restrained everywhere else on this shelf - claims Rs. 3,000 on this one, its largest gap in the read. At Rs. 1,549 it costs Rs. 250 less than the OnePlus and realme neckbands in chapter one and Rs. 150 more than the Sony. On a shelf this thin on evidence, a house-brand product with three votes is the hardest thing here to justify buying.

• Price: Rs. 1,549 (stated MRP Rs. 3,000)
• Key detail: A 4.7 built from three people, on the house brand's dearest neckband
• Discount: 48% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,451
• Rating: 4.7 from only 3 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Three ratings
• Buying logic: Not without more evidence

This is realme's flagship rung on this shelf and it carries two ratings. Two. The average of 3.0 means one person was unimpressed and another was less so, or something equally uninformative. Active noise cancellation and an IP rating are stated; at Rs. 2,999 they are plausible rather than remarkable, and the JBL and Sennheiser listings later on this page are what serious ANC costs. The 40 per cent badge against a stated Rs. 4,999 is in line with realme's behaviour across all ten of its rows here.

• Price: Rs. 2,999 (stated MRP Rs. 4,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 2,999 - the top of realme's range here - on two published ratings
• Discount: 40% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,000
• Rating: 3.0 from only 2 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Dearest realme here
• Buying logic: Wait for the sample to fill in

Twenty votes at 2.7 is the largest negative signal on this shelf, and it sits on a listing whose badge - 16 per cent - is one of the smallest. The same product appears again in the read at Rs. 2,099 with 4.0 from ten votes, which is the split-listing problem again: thirty people, averaging around 3.1, spread across two rows the site treats as different products. Bullets Wireless Z2 is a long-running model, so this is not a launch-sample artefact. At Rs. 300 above the Rs. 1,799 shelf, it is hard to argue for.

• Price: Rs. 2,099 (stated MRP Rs. 2,499)
• Key detail: 2.7 from 20 votes - the second-lowest score in the read, at OnePlus's ceiling price
• Discount: 16% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 400
• Rating: 2.7 from only 20 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Low badge, low score
• Buying logic: No - the Rs. 1,799 group is better value

Apple's four listings in this read carry badges of 5, 8, 10 and 21 per cent, and this is the cheapest of its wireless models. The stated Rs. 12,900 is Apple's own list price rather than a constructed claim, which is why the badge is small and also why it is meaningful - a thousand rupees off an AirPods 4 is a real thousand rupees. Ten ratings at 3.9 tells you nothing about the product and something about Croma's review volumes. Every other listing in this chapter is a better technical proposition per rupee; none of them pair with an iPhone in one tap.

• Price: Rs. 11,900 (stated MRP Rs. 12,900)
• Key detail: A Rs. 1,000 gap between price and claim - Apple's normal behaviour here
• Discount: 8% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,000
• Rating: 3.9 from only 10 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Smallest badge in the read
• Buying logic: For the ecosystem, at a small real discount

Fifty-two per cent off a stated Rs. 24,999 is the largest rupee claim on this page - Rs. 13,000 - and it sits on a listing with no published rating at all. JBL's five rows here run from Rs. 1,499 to Rs. 21,999 with badges of 25, 25, 27, 52 and 52 per cent, so the deep cuts belong to two products rather than to the brand. Adaptive noise cancellation and a case with a touchscreen are the Live Beam 3's argument, and against the Rs. 18,990 AirPods Pro and Sennheiser listings below it, the price is genuinely aggressive if the claim is set aside.

• Price: Rs. 11,999 (stated MRP Rs. 24,999)
• Key detail: 52% off - the only listing above Rs. 10,000 discounted more than 40%
• Discount: 52% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 13,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Deepest badge above Rs. 10,000
• Buying logic: The value ANC buy above ten thousand, unrated

Twenty-one per cent is Apple's ceiling on this shelf and it appears on the previous-generation Pro, which is exactly when Apple hardware gets discounted in India: after its successor ships. The successor is on this page too, at Rs. 24,490 and 5 per cent off. Rs. 5,500 separates them. Sixteen ratings at 3.9 is a thin and slightly unflattering sample for what is a genuinely capable product; read it as noise rather than signal. Against the Sennheiser at the identical Rs. 18,990, this is the ecosystem choice and that is the honest framing.

• Price: Rs. 18,990 (stated MRP Rs. 23,900)
• Key detail: 21% off - the largest Apple badge in the read, worth Rs. 4,910
• Discount: 21% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 4,910
• Rating: 3.9 from only 16 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Apple's deepest cut here
• Buying logic: The Apple buy, if the last generation is enough

Two flagship earbuds at exactly Rs. 18,990 on the same shelf, one showing 21 per cent off and the other 37, because Apple claims Rs. 23,900 and Sennheiser claims Rs. 29,990. Neither claim changes what you pay. Sennheiser is a hearing-and-audio manufacturer rather than a phone company, and the MOMENTUM line is where that shows - aptX Adaptive, a much-praised tuning, and no ecosystem lock. No published rating on either of its two rows here. If the sound is the point rather than the pairing, this is the listing.

• Price: Rs. 18,990 (stated MRP Rs. 29,990)
• Key detail: The same Rs. 18,990 as the AirPods Pro, and Rs. 6,090 more claimed saving
• Discount: 37% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 11,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: The audiophile option
• Buying logic: For sound quality over ecosystem

The Tour Pro 3 is the listing where JBL competes on features rather than price - a smart charging case with a display, adaptive ANC, and an auracast transmitter - and Croma prices it at Rs. 21,999 against a stated Rs. 29,999. It has no rating. Note the shape of this chapter: the four dearest listings on the shelf carry 0, 0, 1 and 9 ratings between them. Above about Rs. 18,000, Croma's audio shelf has essentially no customer evidence at all, and buying decisions have to be made on specification and reputation.

• Price: Rs. 21,999 (stated MRP Rs. 29,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 21,999 - the second-dearest listing here - at 27% off
• Discount: 27% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 8,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: The Rs. 21,999 rung
• Buying logic: Only on specification - there is no evidence here

Five per cent is the smallest badge on this shelf and Rs. 1,410 is a real amount of money, which is the point this page keeps making from the other direction: a tiny badge on an expensive product beats a huge badge on a cheap claim. The previous generation sits on the same page at Rs. 18,990, a Rs. 5,500 gap, which is the actual decision. Nine ratings at 5.0 is meaningless as a score. Apple's discounting behaviour in India is predictable enough that waiting for a festive event is a rational alternative to buying today.

• Price: Rs. 24,490 (stated MRP Rs. 25,900)
• Key detail: 5% off - Rs. 1,410 - the smallest discount in the entire read
• Discount: 5% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,410
• Rating: 5.0 from only 9 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: The current Apple flagship
• Buying logic: Buy the 2nd-gen instead unless you want the newest

Thirty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees at one end of this shelf, Rs. 349 at the other. The WH-1000XM6 is the current generation of the over-ear headphone that has defined consumer noise cancellation for a decade, and Rs. 12,000 off a stated Rs. 49,990 is a substantial real discount if Sony's list price holds - which for this line, in India, it generally has. The listing appears twice in our read at the same price with 5.0 from one vote and 4.8 from five. Six people. At the top of this shelf, evidence disappears entirely.

• Price: Rs. 37,990 (stated MRP Rs. 49,990)
• Key detail: Rs. 37,990 - 109 times the cheapest listing on the same shelf
• Discount: 24% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 12,000
• Rating: 5.0 from only 1 rating - too thin to rank on
• Role: Dearest listing in the read
• Buying logic: The one over-ear on this page worth the money
