All that I have done is that selected the entry level headsets with price range of 500 Rs to 700 Rs.
These four selected headsets are from well known brands like JBL, Sony, Philips & iball these are the best selling headsets on Amazon India as on today.
I am big fan of JBL for its signature sound, but here Sony also competes with its great range of Bass, Mid to Treble range, Philips to its brand value and experience in speakers provides budget package as value for money, iball Rocky to my surprise is best seller ! hence I have included in this comparison and it is cheapest too 🙂

Apart from the technical specifications following points needs due consideration for selection of headsets
- Comfort of fitting
This is important if you are fan of music or want to listen during hours of travelling, it must not happen that the sound quality is damn good but it starts hurting after wearing it for half an hour !! - Subjective Evaluation
Each headset has its own signature of Bass, Treble & Mid-range delivery and what matters is personal taste in this regards. A person liking Bass may not like treble ! and so on .. Hence please take a trial before you buy. - Cable length
Very important in travel through railways !! Needless to explain why !!!
Please feel free to ask questions for selection of entry level headsets to me
Cheers !!
