JBL Tune 310C
The JBL Tune 310C is the standout USB-C earphone in India under ₹1,500. The built-in DAC bypasses your phone's audio chip and drives the earphone directly — a real advantage on phones with mediocre USB-C audio output. Hi-Res certification, a 3-button EQ remote, and JBL's Pure Bass tuning make it the most feature-complete USB-C earphone at this price.
