Apple EarPods USB-C
The Apple EarPods USB-C make complete sense if you own an iPhone 15 or later, iPad, or MacBook. They plug in and work instantly — mic, remote, and volume controls are all natively recognised with no pairing or settings. The sound is clean but bass-light and nothing special for ₹1,699. For non-Apple users, the JBL Tune 310C is a better pick at the same price.
